Amelyssan in her new guise as Melyssan, sought to gather the bhaalspawn by presenting herself as their kind protector. In secret however, she convinced five powerful bhaalspawn: [[Echo of Abazigal|Abazigal]] a blue dragon, {{FRWiki|Balthazar}} a human monk, [[Echo of Illasera|Illasera]] an elven fighter, [[Echo of Sendai|Sendai]] a drow cleric, and {{FRWiki|Yaga-Shura}} a fire giant to unite and help her resurrect Bhaal with the promise that Bhaal would make them his right hand and rule as demigods. | Amelyssan in her new guise as Melyssan, sought to gather the bhaalspawn by presenting herself as their kind protector.

The Five unleashed their armies upon the Sword Coast killing Bhaalspawn and innocents alike in their path. Those bhaalspawn that managed to escape the massacre were guided by Amelyssan to the city of {{FRWiki|Saradush}} in {{FRWiki|Tethyr}} but the city was encircled by Yaga Shura and his army. It is in Saradush that Amelyssan met Gorion's Ward the famous Bhaalspawn that had defeated [[Sarevok Anchev]], she then began using Gorion's Ward as a tool to achieve her goal. She tricked them into meeting the ruler of Saradush who was also a Bhaalspawn which resulted in latter's death and sent them to an old abandoned Bhaal temple where Yaga-Shura was raised to discover a way to remove Yaga-Shura's invulnerability. Gorion's Ward succeeded in their task but returned too late as Saradush and its inhabitants fell to the invading army due to Amelyssan having opened the way for Yaga-Shura. Gorion's Ward and their allies fought the fire giant and managed to put an end to him. After Yaga-Shura's death, Amelyssan conviced them to deal with the rest of the Five and | The Five unleashed their armies upon the Sword Coast killing Bhaalspawn and innocents alike in their path.

After Yaga-Shura's death, Amelyssan conviced them to deal with the rest of the Five and revealed up the locations of Abazigal and Sendai while also telling them to use the village of {{FRWiki|Amkethran}} which was ruled by the final member of the Five; Balthazar, as their base of operations. | ||

Gorion's Ward returned to Amkethran to deal with Balthazar at his monastery after they had learned that he was the last member of the Five. With Balthazar dead, Amelyssan now had all of Bhaal's divine essence and went to Mana Forge in the Throne of Bhaal to begin her ascension into godhood. Gorion's Ward confronted the empowered Amelyssan at the Mana Forge and fought her, defeating the traitorous priestess. Gorion's Ward was given a choice on what to do with the essence of Bhaal and chose to be free of it. A weakened Amelyssan tried to stop the divine essence from leaving but died when the Mana Forge imploded. | ||
When Bhaal was resurrected a century later after Amelyssan's death, he brought her back as an Echo to serve in the [[Murder Tribunal]] along with Abazigal, Illasera and Sendai. However, unlike her fellow Echoes she saw this as a slave sentence and punishment for her betrayal. | When Bhaal was resurrected a century later after Amelyssan's death, he brought her back as an Echo to serve in the [[Murder Tribunal]] along with Abazigal, Illasera and Sendai.
