The Cedonian Empire is ransacked by a new wave of attacks from the Ice Demons. The goblin hordes reach Thalcedon and destroy the emperor's palace. The sorcerers of Mir, fearing an attack, send the last remaining dragons (which they had been saving to defend their island from the Empire) to attack the Ice Demons. The goblins are unable to withstand the dragonfire and are beaten back. The dragons, however, inexplicably vanish just as the goblin invasion is again repelled. The Empire is in ruins. The vassal kingdoms rise against the emperor's forces, which are driven back to the original Cedonian state. The empire is no more. |
