First War of Fate

As Crest grew in power, his brother Tilsman became jealous: for Crest had many mortal followers and Tilsman had but a few. Tilsman acted with Waltell to cast a great spell on Crest’s Moon Fortress which would drain power for the fortress and transfer magical energy into the hands of Tilsman’s followers. Many of Crests followers now flocked to Tilsman’s cause instead.

Crest did not dare leave the Moon Fortress for he feared Allanbay and his sons, and the retribution they might one day enact upon him for imprisoning Sorn. Instead he ordered his followers to make war on the followers of Tilsman and a bitter conflict erupted. The fighting soon engulfed the Mortal Plane, affecting all peoples regardless of religion. This struggle became known as First War of Fate.

After years of conflict, Crest invited Tilsman to the Moon fortress to negotiate peace. Waltell had now joined Crests side in the dispute and lured Tilsman into a trap within the fortress so that Crest might defeat him. Tilsman escaped but his face was wounded in the fight and he subsequently refused to show himself in public.

The war ended with the defeat of Tilsman and the routing of his followers.
