Disaster / Destruction
An amassed army of orcs and other monstrous races again invaded the Havens from the west, but this time with a force too large and powerful, overwhelming the cities of the Havens one by one.
The Goblin War is now thought to have been a kind of test, a precursor to these events. Some renegade mages at the Tower of Spellhaven started a last-ditch attempt to destroy the orcish army by destroying an ancient magic wall that had been created to stop the plague from the scar from infecting the Havens in the same manner as Zilant Swamp. Like a dam being burst, the Havens were flooded with the evil plague of undeath, and although the orcish army was stopped by this torrent of zombies and monsters pouring from within the earth, the mages had essentially assured the Havens complete destruction. Refugees fled from the Havens in droves, and suddenly thousands of people that once lived in the lost land were settling down in what was once a small town called Crossroads and the surrounding valley.
