The Firelord: A figure from fairly recent history, the Firelord

men and favors to himself in preparation for a war, but in the
aftermath of the Orc Incursion, he struck, seeing opportunity. While
most defenses were turned, the Firelord and his forces marches around
the west side of the Creeping Wood and toward the Capital of Samia. He
initiated a ten month seige of the Capital and in the end it was
winter, more than military might, that wore him down. His men could not
endure the freezing conditions out in the lands around the capital and
there were not enough farming communities nearby to support his troops.
A quarter of his troops died in that winter and come spring, the
Firelord was nowhere to be found. Some believe that he died in that
cold winter as well, but others beleive that he left his men to die and
waits somewhere to try again.
