The forces of Ler Rhan and Black Ferah retreated, though the town of [[Tou-Tou]] remains devastated and occupied by the shadow forces and their leaders will keep trying to collect crystals to keep trying to summon the Hopeslayer.<ref>2011/10 [[Cloak of Darkness]] - [[Announcements - 2011/10 - Cloak of Darkness#Teaser]]</ref><ref>2011/10 [[Cloak of Darkness]] - [[Stop the Rebuilding#Lore & Dialog]]</ref>

			* Ilservian's surviving friends became corporeal once more and raised the [[Shadow Spire\|Thorns]], using them to alter the patterns of magic in the world.

			* The Shadows launched their invasion during the [[Thorns of the Hopeslayer]] patch. Their armies poured into the Direlands under the leadership of the dread general Black [[Ferah]].

			* Ler Rhan's forces flooded the wastes of the [[A'mun Desert]]. Unlike Ferah, he elected to establish his headquarters in the Spires at the outset. However, the portals to the Spires proved unresponsive to powerful adventurers. Younger warriors, mages, and archers sortied into the Spire and were beaten back by his fearsome apparition. Eventually, however, he was overcome, and moved on to the plains in the Aluvian-settled regions of Dereth. Again, he was tracked and defeated. Once more he moved, into the Spire found in the festering Blackmire Swamp. Once more he fell.
