Deathfog

Deathfog is an extremely toxic substance that is capable of devastating organic life, and is heralded by some as 'the most lethal weapon of our time'.

History

The earliest known usage of Deathfog was by the Divine Order in 1233 AD during The Chaos War. Two lizards approached Lucian the Divine with a plan to release deathfog in the Elven lands in an attempt to combat the Black Ring. Lucian, conflicted by the morality of the plan, sought council from Ifan ben-Mezd, who agreed to the plan under the stipulation that the Elves be evacuated before the deathfog was released. However, internal sabotage by Alexandar, Lucian's youngest son, caused the deathfog to be released prematurely, wiping out scores of elves and rendering their lands uninhabitable.

Regardless, the deathfog successfully dealt significant losses to Black Ring forces. The deaths of so many elves to the deathfog weakened the Seven God Tir-Cendelius, unleashing the voidwoken and their leader the God King from the Void, who proceeded to take control of the weakened Ring forces.

In 1242 AD, a lizard known as The Shadow Prince created a deathfog bomb which was to be used to kill The Mother Tree, an entity that the Shadow Prince believed would attempt to conquer the world.

After the Divine's death, the morality of the use of deathfog by the Divine Order was questioned, as previously only the Divine himself determined when it was right to be used.

By 1300 AD, the Black Ring used deathfog to render the lands they conquered uninhabitable. Safe in their flying fortresses, the Black Ring's movements were unhindered by the toxic mists.

After the last Dragon Knight claimed the Battle Tower from the necromancer Laiken, Damian, angered by the Knight's continued defiance, laid siege to Sentinel Island, deploying a Flying Fortress and covering the land with deathfog. Damian then unleashed the Black Ring upon Broken Valley, personally seeing to the destruction of Broken Valley Village and releasing deathfog across the entire region.
