They would use her own power contained within each piece of the Sword and defile the temple for all time by their actions.

	V'tull came first, nine days later. His legions were led by feral animals bearing disease of many kinds. This first attack was fodder for the defender's swords, as was the second wave. Outposts were set up along the approaches to Wehnimer's Landing and those who got past the first line fell to a second or third. Skirmishers ranged ahead and those who could not fight aided the empaths and clerics. At the end, Ragni and Gillaume fought the leader, the Mouth of V'tull. After Ragni brought it low, he gave the pommel into Gillaume's safekeeping.		[[V'tull]] came first, nine days later. His legions were led by feral animals bearing disease of many kinds.

After Ragni brought it low, he gave the pommel into Gillaume's safekeeping.

	Sheru's invasion a week later was much like the first, but where V'tull's minions were no more difficult than a krolvin, Sheru sent his harbingers into the melee where they tore through many defenders. The chaos was great and even the knowledge of who possessed the hilt was lost.

The chaos was great and even the knowledge of who possessed the hilt was lost.

	Mularos sent his hordes in a week after Sheru had failed. Unlike the previous two, there were no lulls that the defenders could use to rest and recover their strength. But just as the minions of the Alliance had grown more powerful, so had the defenders. Organized groups were sent out and overpowered small forces loyal to Mularos before moving on to the next. Where Mularosians found their way behind the lines or caught a few unawares, the tables were turned. As the Master of Pain prepared to enter Lorminstra's temple with the quillions, having slain all in his path, Thalior arrived and brought it down with a single cast on the very steps.

	Luukos came last in the first war and as with the first four times, the awful pounding of the drums was heard. The skies slowly turned blood red and then the invaders came. Vortices that would strip the spells off the defenders and lizard-warriors whose hides were thick enough to make a weapon vibrate out of a defender's hand followed the more expected animals. Meteor swarms and lightning rained from the skies and once more chaos and confusion were the only victors on the battlefield. Finally, however, Luukos's high warlock was destroyed and the blade recovered.		[[Luukos]] came last in the first war and as with the first four times, the awful pounding of the drums was heard.

	A month later, the four parts, pommel, hilt, quillions and blade were reunited. The blade which had been broken was made anew and placed in front of Lorminstra's temple in Wehnimer's Landing. Until recently, it was sometimes possible to rub the sword and secure Lorminstra's blessing for a weapon of your own. According to one legend, there may come someone Lorminstra deems worthy of using her Griffin Sword in combat and they will be allowed to pull the sword from the solid block that encases it. But that will never come to pass unless the sword can be reforged yet again.		A month later, the four parts, pommel, hilt, quillions and blade were reunited.
