Early in King Mourn's reign a great plague ravaged the kingdom. Though elves are known for their resistance to disease, the kingdom was decimated, leading some to conclude that the disease was caused by evil magic. It is said that King Mourn made a pact with a dark power in an attempt to contain the infection; this was likely the cause of his madness. He began to rely on demonic servitors, bound to him by some fell magic, to enforce his rule. | Early in King Mourn's reign a great plague ravaged the kingdom.

In an attempt to take control of the kingdom and depose the mad king, King Mourn's brother, [[Elashor "The Ceremonious" Naïlo]], waged a civil war against The Oathbreaker. Many of the mightiest sea elven warriors and mages were killed in the battles. To counter The Oathbreaker's undead and fiendish allies, then-Prince Elashor arranged a marriage with [[Miralee Nasadra]], a scion of the powerful drow [[House Nasadra]] of [[Ched Nasad]]. Meera's sisters led a force of drow mages and assassins who managed to help turn the tide of the war and allow Elashor to force The Oathbreaker to battle outside the walls of Nindrol. | In an attempt to take control of the kingdom and depose the mad king, King Mourn's brother, [[Elashor the Ceremonious|Elashor "The Ceremonious" Naïlo]], waged a civil war against The Oathbreaker.

The brothers met in single combat, Elashor wielding his dowry, the magic sword [[Airëmacil]] ("sea-blade"), and The Oathbreaker fighting with the terrible black trident [[Raiafae]] ("fisher of souls"). Elashor prevailed but took a terrible wound that never fully healed, despite the best efforts of the sea elven clerics and doctors. | The brothers met in single combat, Elashor wielding his dowry, the magic sword [[Airëmacil]] ("sea-blade"), and The Oathbreaker fighting with the terrible black trident [[Raiafae]] ("fisher of souls").
