The original Grymforge fortress was built in an unknown age by a group of Sharran followers. Those Sharrans used the fortress for approximately eight hundred years, after which it was abandoned. Grymforge was not re-inhabited until [[Ketheric Thorm]]'s [[Dark Justiciar]] army were brought in to rebuild it. | The original Grymforge fortress was built in an unknown age by a group of Sharran followers.

After this, the Grymforge served as a base of operations for Ketheric and his Justiciars. Among these Sharrans was Silouv Yali, a gnome well known for his wizarding talents. Yali guided the Sharrans in building the [[Adamantine Forge (Location)|Adamantine Forge]], which was able to heat mithral to great enough temperatures to forge adamantine. As well, he conjured [[Grym]], a construct who protects the forge. | After this, the Grymforge served as a base of operations for Ketheric and his Justiciars.

The Justiciars proved too strong however, forcing Mordfred to make a bargain with [[Raphael]] in desperation; destroy the Justiciars in return for his soul. | While Ketheric's forces worked to destroy Reithwin and its surrounding Selûnite population, a Selûnite resistance lead by [[Infernal Mason|Mordfred]] worked to oppose him.
