To do so, he called on the impious knowledge of the Order of the Black Togas of Acheron. His ambition brought him to his downfall and then to exile. Accompanied by about a hundred followers, he was forced to flee the Akkylannian lands when the Inquisition declared him a genetic.

Several events then marked the history of the alchemists of Dirz, among which is the arrival of the goblin ambassadors of N0-Dan-Kar.

*Complete lack of access to artillery and flyers.
