After both Melodia and Isobel's deaths, Ketheric turned to [[Shar]], the Lady of Loss. In her name, he raised an army of [[Dark Justiciar]]s and set them against the surrounding lands and as far as the [[Grymforge]]. Ketheric's forces were eventually defeated by the allied [[Harpers]] and [[Emerald Grove]] druids, as well from a pact made by the architect which enlisted help from the orthon [[Yurgir]]. | After both Melodia and Isobel's deaths, Ketheric turned to [[Shar]], the Lady of Loss.
