Edgeville Incident

The Edgeville Incident was a civilian massacre and military conflict that occured in approximately 162 of the Fifth Age. The battle involved more than 2,000 trained soldiers, all of whom were engaged in combat with a single wizard, "Murder Mage" Solus Dellagar. Information regarding the event is somewhat limited and sometimes condradictory, possibly partially due to Temple Knight censorships. It is referenced heavily in the Commorb dossiers used during the Wanted! quest.

The battle began during an unknown Kinshra operation in the then-unincorporated city of Edgeville in northwestern Misthalin. The leader of the Kinshra at the time, Lord Shadwell, was working in co-operation with Dellagar, who had only several years before assisted Lucien in an undead assault on Varrock. For an unknown reason, Dellagar was upset during the proceedings and proceeded to use ancient magicks to slaughter both the civilians and guards in the city, as well as those Kinshra whom he had only moments before been allied with.

White Knight and Temple Knight forces were sent by Asgarnia to end the attack, but ultimately nearly 2,000 were killed before Dellagar before he was apprehended. Shadwell himself was killed in the attack, although Lord Daquarius did earn favour for his courage in the battle. The new leader of the Kinshra lasted only one year under increased political tension in Asgarnia before being assassinated by Lord Sulla, leading ultimately to the War of 164.
