Battle of ShadowGuard

Taki Rassien of the Vaalor lead the Sabrar to battle at ShadowGuard, planning to stop the undead assault on the Elven Nations during the Undead War there and force them back. However, the undead destroyed almost all of those elves present at the battle. Despite the devastating defeat of the elves, this battle marks the War's turning point. After this, the elven houses were shocked and banded together against Despana under the Faendryl. This battle was the last time Dharthiir, Despana's general, was seen. Legend holds that one of Rassien's last acts was to slay the arch-lich.

After this, many of the other races also sent forces to aid the Faendryl.
