Editing Draft:Shattered Embrace:Troubles

The Troubles were a civil war on the island of [[Arveran]] that happened around thirty years prior to the [[Hero]]'s visit (and the events of [[Shattered Embrace]]). The beligerents were: the [[Elves]] on one side, led by Lord [[Talinor]] (future King), and the [[Orcs]] and the [[Humans]], led by Lord [[Teramon]] and [[Lady Gorana]]. The Elves prevailed, and their rival races (later usually described as rebels) were driven out of the island. That victory caused the fall of the [[Triumvirate of Arveran]] and led to it's replacement by all-Elven [[Kingdom of Arveran]].

==Battles==
One of the major battles was cleaning [[Shadinar]] of non-Elven citizens. Another of even greater importance to the plot was what the Elven history recoreded as the capture of the [[Tower of Dalnir]] inside [[Sharrean Forest]] by the escaping rebel forces. This allowed them to imprison a former Archdruid [[Larlandor]] and force him to open the [[Gate of Dalnir]] which allowed them to fled the Elven forces by travelling to [[Outworld]] (the event known later as the Great Crossing). The details of that account are later re-examined by the Hero, when he meets Larlandor personally.
