Darkon had invaded the innocent Kingdom of ForsHall, a kindly and peaceful Kingdom to the southwest of Darkon. With terrible fury, a great invasion army of 30,000 troops, living and undead, attacked the outer regions of the Kingdom, breaking the lines of the Defenders. Men, Elves, Calibans, Dwarves, Skeletons and Zombies with both mortal and Vampiric commanders, aided by dragons, giants and ogres waded into ForsHall, in a tide of bloodshed and death.

The clashing of swords, the bursts of spells both deadly and merciless did fly from both sides. Dragons raging against the Defenders of ForsHall, sending flaming death to them, ripping them to pieces with claw and fang, shattering defenses and mobile towers with their tails.

Darkon's forces laid waste to the frontiers of ForsHall, and began to move further into the land. And it seemed that no outside aid would come to poor ForsHall, her fate was sealed.

Led by the powerful and dark Vampire lord, Reinhardt De'Moune second in command of the Nightblades, the personal order of evil knights and fallen paladins created by Khoss himself, rode upon their terrible dread Nightmare steads, all five hundred rode ahead of the army into a line of defenders of ForsHall, smashing through the line, with fire and sword and mace. The screams of fear and those who meet their death at the hands of the NightBlades filled the air.

Reinhardt and his knights slaughtered without mercy these soldiers, old and young of ForsHall. Within a few hours of battle the NightBlades and their fearsome leader had slain hundreds, Khoss raised those hundreds of dead to unlife, adding to Darkon's army greatly, and feeding the dead's souls to Darkon's hungering soil.

With a great breach in ForsHall's Eastern front, Khoss lead his army through, using scorched Earth policies, laying waste to outlaying farmlands and villages, killing or enslaving any survivors and refugees that were found.
