The Fourth Arasilisch Crusades, is a crusade directed at the Dwarves of Khazad-Ram as they had been fooled by Ashmedai. The Fourth Arasilisch crusade was one of the most remembered ones in all of history and it resonated within the planes.

Prelude

Ashmedai Cultists had begun summoning Devils and had the dwarves believing that the they had reached a new peak in their civilization, which was able to defeat 3 Dark Elf armies in the Middledark and Upperdark within a short period. The Cultists had gained much favor from the people that the Borlarmjuvar had declared that all worship is shunned except for Ashmedai.

Declaration of War

Heiligstes König Reich Celtira had beseeched The Silver Chalice to enter into Khazadun armed to defeat the new evil. For this war, the Elves of The Sylvan Kingdom of Eryndor, led by Serenethia and the High elves of Amon-Thal had declared that they would join the war-effort and provided many weapons and magical capabilities inorder to penetrate the invincible mountain of Khazad-Ram.

Battle of the Mountains

For 7 years, a siege was laid upon Khazad-Ram, with many rebels inside, still loyal to the Morndinsamman. The Armies were able to gain entry.

Ashmedai is inside the Prime Material Plane

Ashmedai, who was willing to wreak havoc on the prime material plane and finally destroy Ervenius, had planned for the dwarves of Khazad-Ram to feel choked by the machinisations of Celtira and the Kingdom of Arasil. Thus, he was summoned inside the prime material plane and with him, the soul shard of Ervenius, which made sure that the mighty god, won't be able to intervene.

Ervenius' Gamble

While knowing this was the case with Ashmedai, Ervenius counted on Zaphkiel, the leader of the Celestial Hebdomad to intervene - knowing mostly that Heiligstes König Reich Celtira was dear to Zaphkiel.

Battle of Minds

With the forces of Grand Armies of the Araso and Celtira inside Khazad-Ram, fighting for every Inch with the Loyal Dwarves of Khazad-Ram - Zaphkiel proceeded to challange the mightiest of all evils in a contest of minds - thus defending the holy crusade and banishing Ashmedai back to Nessus - It was said that this battle was not of strength, but of great mental power, a duel which Zaphkiel won.

Ervenius' Gratitude

For this act of the most dangerous act of Zaphkiel, which left the heavens weak, for it took Zaphkiel 20 years to fully recover from the duel. As such, Ervenius had allied itself with servants of Mount Celestia and allowed them to establish an outpost in Amurru Puru, known as Southshire.

The Cultists are hunted

With the main forces and tens of thousands of dead, the war had become small skirmishes, for the Dwarves of Khazad-Ram, had established again their own guards and had Zana betag announce a new Borlarmjuvar and disregard the heretic one.

Aftermath

A military alliance is established among the 5 kingdoms: The Sylvan Kingdom of Eryndor, The Kingdom of Amon-Thal, Kingdom of Arasil, Heiligstes König Reich Celtira and Khazad-Ram.
