The final battle against Moraphan the Crimson Lord

Moraphan did not simply lose ground. He saw that he was fighting a war on too many fronts. Because of this he pulled his forces back under the guise of weakness. He baited the Golden Alliance into a final battle with a seemingly crippled dark army. When the full force of the Alliance marched upon Moraphan’s fortress, Moraphan summoned a group of powerful chromatic dragons to descend upon the Allied forces, now caught in a trap he unleashed the rest of his armies. The battle began to sway in favor of Moraphan. And all seemed lost for Sylra, till over the horizon marched an army of Triton and Minotaurs, joined by a host of metallic dragons. These new allies punched into the enemy’s flank. As groups of winged Dragonborn alongside metallic dragons accosted their chromatic dragons foes, and the Minotaurs blew their great battle horns the battle raged. Days passed, weeks, two months of siege and attack, defense and contention. Finally Moraphan himself sallied forth from his fortress. Cutting through swaths of soldiers. Meeting Dwarf King Fafnir on the field, Fafnir revealed himself as an adult copper dragon. The two engaged in ferocious battle, but Moraphan used his dark magic to banish Fafnir from the plane. Seeing this, King Sylra leapt into battle against Moraphan himself. The two dueled till Moraphan was incapacitated. The battle was won at last as the sun broke the thick ash clouds.
