Armies are gathered in Tolternoth for the control of elven monoliths allowing them to operate portals. The horde demonstrates its efficiency and mobility during a first engagement where it protects a monolith. However, during the second engagement, a bad plan from the general staff (who thought of throwing their troops into an abyss?) decimated the allied army. This does not prevent Glahul from running away to save the precious Veldrin crystals which hold power over the portals.

After so many centruries of conflict and disaster and little hope that the Guardians would return to restore order, dark elves decided to leave the central lands. The High Sages of Morak An Graef and Tolimarth called upon their people for a total exodus from Nasgaroth. Tens of thousands of dark elves marched towards the Tolternoth portal towards the promise of a new world.

While many were not sad to see them go, many were concerned about the portal to the Abyss of Tolternoth, which would be left unguarded after the last dark elf went through. The elves of Irendille wished to close the portal where as the Three Crowns Alliance (Haldorf, Arganne and Kafe) wished to take control of it. The Three Crowns were victorious and prevented Irendille from closing the portal.

The Queen
Akilam, with her Seringot armies, was the first to leave the ancestral lands for Tolternoth.
