Dawn Ascent

Dawn Ascent was a covert military operation orchestrated by the White Knights in the recent Fifth Age. The event is only mentioned by name in the witch Kardia's History of Iban found in the Underground Pass, although activities like it have been suggested in the past.

The exact date of the Dawn Ascent remains unknown, but based on the context of the text it occurred after Lord Daquarius Rennard rose to power in Year 164 of the Fifth Age. Although the text is very vague about the details of the event, it suggests that the White Knights somehow managed to eliminate various high-standing Kinshra leaders, the most prominent of which was Daquarius's follower Iban. Iban was later revived through a series of Zamorakian rituals in the Underground Pass by Kardia, eventually allowing him to sieze one of only two passages from Tirannwn to Kandarin.
