Military action
The last Elven Queen, Siritha dies and names the hero Nerilith as her successor. Siritha's daughter, Khicesi, conspires with the Elven Court to poison Nerilith during her coronation. The poison failed to kill Nerilith and instead turned her into the first lich. Enraged at the betrayal, Nerilith, the Lich Queen wages a long and bloody civil war against Khicesi and those loyal to her. At devastating expense, the Lich Queen is driven from Selna Dorei. The Lich Queen travels north, to Aeduin where she would build an empire. Devastated by war, Selna Dorei crumbles among in-fighting and quickly fades into antiquity.
