From 999 to 1004, Gar III's reign faced various challenges. Tensions escalated between Dark Elves and the empire, with Prince Morath of Nasgaroth declaring war on both Gar III and the new King Solar of Andore over the loss of the dark elf artifact, the moonstone. The loss to the dark elves highlighted the divisions and wekanesses in the empire. The construction of the Port of [Marienburg](/wiki/bicolline/regions/empire/mariembourg/) provoked the Orcs of the [Forgotten Lands](/wiki/bicolline/regions/territoire-de-loubli/) (Terres de l'Oubli), and discontent grew due to the treatment of slaves in the [Ekengrad](/wiki/bicolline/regions/empire/ekengrad/) mines and the repression of dissent.

For as long as could be remembered, the dark elves possessed an artifact known as the moonstone which was said to hold the key to the immortality of the dark elves. According to legend, the stone was stolen by swamp Orcs and later came into the possession of Andorian nobles, specifically guarded by the Lord of Brabancourt.
Efforts by the High Council of Nasgaroth to diplomatically recover the moonstone proved futile, prompting Queen Malika to take decisive action. She appointed her son, Morath, to lead an unprecedented army of dark elves on a mission to reclaim the moonstone at any cost \- the survival of the dark elves depended on it. Morath was able to gain the support of several human and orc soliders in his quest.
Despite facing challenging path, Morath's forces under command of Khrishnack an orc officer managed to reach the clearing where the moonstone was believed to be located. A fierce battle ensued against Brabancourt's troops, marked by relentless assaults and strategic maneuvers. Ultimately, Morath emerged victorious, securing the moonstone for the dark elves.

In 998, back in Nasgaroth, [Caius Brutus](/wiki/bicolline/people/caius-brutus-bubonius/) managed to gain the trust of the Drow Lord who fought a coalition of humans and [elves](/wiki/bicolline/species/elves/) from [Irendille](/wiki/bicolline/regions/irendille/) in order to find the moonstone, an artifact of unimaginable importance for the common people. mortals. Supervising the disparate troops of Prince Morath, Caius Brutus helps the troops recover the artifact which is placed in its magical base. In recognition of his efforts and through shameless manipulation of his allies, Caius Brutus wins the Icelands as a reward, which becomes the first stronghold of the [Bastet](/wiki/bicolline/species/bastet/).
