After the death of Dravor the Merciless, the remaining demon generals wasted no time in plotting their next move. With their grand plan nearly complete, they could not afford failure.
Zephor had already landed near the Pearl Isles, preparing his fleet to launch the first stage of the attack. Maldrak, taking a southern sea route past Elris, aimed to use Dravor's former strategy but with a critical change: he would strike swiftly, avoiding giving the heroes a chance to regroup.
Meanwhile, Valkar the Dominator did not wait for orders. Tasked with replacing Dravor, he set his sights on the Red Iron Republic. Using a nearby island and the resources left behind by Dravor, he prepared for yet another sea-based assault.
Back in the demon-controlled lands, Thalrak and Morax worked tirelessly, activating a powerful array to link the two worlds. Their success relied on gathering enough mana and lives to fuel the connection.
