War of the Standing Stone Orcs
| "Secure the prisoners, and transport them to the laboratories, their leader might be dead but we'll find a use for them yet." | |
| - Ioulaum | |
Illusk was a human port city located at the mouth of the River Mirar. The city served as a trade hub and accepted activity from as far as Netheril. During the early months of 1767 NY a warband of orcs, lead by a sizeable giant contigent swept through the Illusk country side and eventually came upon the city of Illusk itself. A Netherese relief force organised by Jeriah Chronos was sent to try and lift the siege however their arrival failed to save the city and was ultimately forced to escort those who could flee the city to safety. | |
