Military action
Ascal Gold Hearted needed access to Foundation Pillar - Me'at'Istenseret as per wishes of Vecna. However, this was deep in the dwarven territory and major expeditions would be seen as hostile, so Ascal brew a new conflict between the human kingdoms andĀ Moldath-Shigin, the dwarven alliance. The rivers from the dwarven mountains would bring disease and poison, which would point to the dwarven fortresses as the perpetrators. When a meeting was held between the sides, it was Ascal that would convince the dwarves that the humans again toy with honor, as they did with his father. The poison worked on the dwarven minds and scuffle started in which the humans representatives were killed. The war began, which allowed the elven king access to the foundation pillar.
