The Foefire's effect affected much of Ascalon's human population, only sparing the southern region containing the Stronghold of Ebonhawke.Īccording to a legend, the ghosts can only be set free once the Foefire curse has been lifted via a ritual performed by the current Ascalonian ruler from King Doric's lineage who wields King Adelbern's crown and either Magdaer or its sister sword Sohothin. Using the blade along his crown made Adelbern cast the Foefire, a blast of tremendous energy which obliterated the invading charr army but cursed the humans caught in the blast by turning them into ghosts.Īs their bodies were destroyed by the Foefire, the spirits of the Ascalon Army became trapped in the land of the living performing the tasks they were doing on the day of their death. When the charr breached Ascalon City in the later stages of the human-charr conflict in 1090 AE, King Adelbern, in an act of desperation, shattered his magic sword Magdaer. The artifacts, as well as the knowledge how to use them in the ritual, would eventually pass on to the Ascalonian line of human kings. King Adelbern unleashes the Foefire with Magdaer.Īccording to an ancient Ascalonian legend and an Orrian scroll, the Six Human Gods formulated a magical ritual and gifted three holy artifacts needed to enact and reverse it-a magical crown, the god Balthazar's own sword Sohothin and its twin Magdaer-to the royal human lineage as protection against invasion in the past.
