The violence was focused in the **province of Loren**, once a peaceful province on the border of the kingdom of [Irendille](/wiki/bicolline/regions/irendille/). The troops of [Garganesh](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-dauquesse/garganesh/) took several domains and were able to harness the **[telluric energy](/wiki/bicolline/supernatural/telluric-forces/)** to build a cursed monolith. **[Brutus Bubonius](/wiki/bicolline/people/caius-brutus-bubonius/)** used this monolith to sacrifice the entire population of two domaines to feed the pact he made with the demon **Le [Tenamuahc](/wiki/bicolline/supernatural/tenamuach/)** ([Campagne de Somière](https://ghoria.org/pages/evene.php?id_evene=32&id_guilde=1000), [La Légion Infernale](https://ghoria.org/pages/allies_ennemis.php?&id_guilde_link=15&id_guilde=1000).)
In the year 1004, [Andorian](/wiki/bicolline/regions/andore/) troops were able to retake their lands and destroy Brutus’ monoliths. Driven mad with revenge at the defeat of his mercenaries, the **[Great Khan of Garganesh](/wiki/bicolline/people/great-khan-of-garganesh/)** swore revenge. In the **hidden city of Syn,** he met with the necromancer [Uskuada](/wiki/bicolline/people/uskuada/) of **[Nasgaroth](/wiki/bicolline/regions/nasgaroth/)**, representatives of the **[Terres de Brumes (Mistlands)](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-des-brumes/)** and the **[Forgotten Territories](/wiki/bicolline/regions/territoire-de-loubli/)**. Together they planned an invasion of the central lands with the Great Khan focusing his force on Andore.

The province of Loren is one of the few to have developed relations with the [elves](/wiki/bicolline/species/elves/) of the kingdom of Irendille. There are the best trackers in the kingdom. This is the only known place where elven-made bows can be obtained. Throughout its history, which follows that of the Kingdom, Loren has enjoyed prosperous expansion.
