15th of Zephyr, 1322 AE Scouting deep into charr territory, Nelthamus of the Ebon Vanguard came across the ruins of Old Ascalon. He became lost in the deep recesses of its catacombs. There he was visited by the ghosts of the ruined city. He fled until he came across King Adelburn. Lost to madness, the king raved about destroying the city to keep it from the charr, killing his own people in the process. Blinded by their eternal hatred of their charr enemy, the king and his guards pursued Nelthamus. He fought to escape, eventually making it to the surface. There he was greeted by the old king's steward who told him of Ascalon's tragic past. Ascalon had fought the charr until their dying breaths, and still they fought on in despair. Moved by their story, Nelthamus vowed in those forgotten ruins that he would not allow Divinity’s Reach to suffer the same fate. He eventually found his way back to Ebonhawke, and left with a new purpose. He resigned from the Ebon Vanguard and travelled home to Divinity’s Reach. There he formed Memor Inferi, to remember the dead. Those poor souls lost in Ascalon would not be forgotten. Nelthamus learned from them, and set aside his hatred for the charr. After all, there are more pressing matters for his new guild to focus on – the elder dragons.
