Mantakar's Curse

In 630 AC, Mendoro Mantakar leads a raid to the ruins of Evergrave. His army is decimated when he discovers that the land around Evergrave is controlled by Maor Elves. Mendoro returns later the same year, changed and defeated. Over the years, he becomes reclusive and mentally broken. Suffering a slow death, many attribute it to a magical curse from the north picked during the failed mission. He dies in 635 AC. His death prevents future campaigns north due to superstition.
