The Battle of Threedeep

Steel Realms

CY 8477 > The Ducateon and their allies fought off wave after wave of Nurth who were attempting to gain entrance to their dragon ally’s lair of Deep Nest under the Tolkisson range. Three Deep was an impromptu battle – the Nurth figured out how to use the long forgotten Kaleidoscopic Staff to mask their presence and only a few Ducateon were able to defend the nest. It’s power was wielded by the Nurth shaman Irthgon in the Battle of Three Deep, where its presence was made known again by its signature sickly green flames. It was a legendary battle in which the three tunnels leading into the Deep Nest were defended by 3 ranks of 21 Ducateon matrons – a desperate battle fought for hours in which the matrons sang a dolorous dirge that was said to bring the spirits of their dead back to fight (something horrific to the Ducateon normally and never done since). In the end, only shadows remained – the entire force of a thousand Nurth were dead and all the Ducateon lifeless. The Ducateon banished the shades of the fallen though the artifact could not be destroyed, and corrupted many Ducateon who tried. These had to be hunted and put down by their own people. It was taken to the Spire Tooth Caverns – where Ducateon race-traitors are known to be taken and purged of their unmutual thoughts against The Ducateon Collective (though none but a few Ducateon know the location itself).
