 :585 AM:  The paladins and their followers gathered at Manifold to elect a War-King as in ancient days.  Kargal however suggested that this was not good enough, and that only the true faith protected by paladins of Mandador could guide the fate of Dwarden, and that they might elect their own paladin-commander.  Galderok suggested they follow the religious principles of the Rule of St. Karant, and elect a Grand Master, as Galderok had been elected.  They agreed, but before they elected their leader, Kargal made them swear a powerful oath by Mandador to keep their unity and obey the Master of the Order of Paladins of Dwarden until the Black Crown was defeated and destroyed forever.  So they swore, and Galdren was elected Grand Master of the Order, with Badrian Master of Foot, and Kellebard Master of Horse, and King Thrasold as the Seneschal.

	The Baulastarg is the name given to the years following the War of Fiends, when an already weakened Order fought the small undead armies of Thagdion. Moving with the cover of mists and clouds summoned by Thagdion himself, the undead were often led by ''thul-knights'', being fallen undead capable of raising mindless undead soldiers, or otherwise rook liches. Thagdion also preferred the creation of karex warriors, being thinking skeletons of fighting skill, possessed of evil will. In time, small armies of karex devastated the Order's lands, and Dwarden dwindled, as the Archfold became a wasteland.

Although succeeding in this, Thagdion commanded his vampire royal guard to attack the leadership in the field, and so fell the Grand Master Keldemorn.
