The Anti-Shroudvale Alliance was the coalition of human nations that defeated Zharrek's expansion from Shroudvale and sealed the surviving essence shapers behind massive walls. Its forces included Skarnheim, Thundermarch, Shaoying, Linsothar, and Hengvaris, alongside other nations of Valrindor.
War and containment
As the darkness receded, Zharrek extended Shroudvale's borders and threatened the surrounding human nations. They united their armies against him.
The shapers were stronger than ordinary humans but vastly outnumbered, and the coalition inflicted a crushing defeat that killed most of them.
Fear of Shroudvale's corrupted interior stopped the victors from pursuing the survivors into its deepest lands. They built walls to contain the remaining shapers, leaving Zharrek alive inside. The walls contained Shroudvale for centuries, while the survivors rebuilt and prepared another attempt at conquest.
Later defenses
The shapers eventually broke through the walls and devastated Shaoying, Linsothar, and Hengvaris before advancing on Thundermarch. Armies from Kaldaryn, Thundermarch, and Skarnheim opposed that renewed invasion.
The shapers were defeated at Rimvold. Silas fought Zharrek, who disintegrated through overload while calling down an asteroid. Silas drew the asteroid into the void, saving the city.
