Battle at Castle Blackstone

The Battle at Castle Blackstone marks the deaths of Cassius Palenix, his companion Quala Dawnsearer, and the remnants of Clothair Ravenot's Sovereign Order.

Sigismund Bavarac arrived at Castle Blackstone prior to the Sovereign Order, who were in search of a potential lead to help them fight Alduran, Sigismund however was commanded by Alduran to find and kill Quala Dawnsearer, and the rest of the Sovereign Order one by one. Sigismund told them to hand over Quala in exchange for their lives, Cassius refused, and in retaliation Sigismund killed Quala right before him, and proceeded to raise the spirits of the deceased to combat the Sovereign Order.

It was during this battle that Belzerial, the Fel-Sworn Cassius had been tricked into releasing in 31 L.C., made her appearance and sought to kill the Sovereign Order in battle.

Mesenda Lightfury, better known by her true name Erastrasza, revealed herself to be a red dragon and attempted to turn the tide of the battle; she put an end to Sigismund's ghostly army -- but she was unsuccessful in her efforts to keep Cassius alive as he fought against the Fel-Sworn, however she did manage to secure the escape of Lindolf Elton and Florence Rosecast as she fought with Belzerial.
