Rytlock quickly gained fame and became respected by his allies and feared by his enemies, although this success distanced him from his Stone Warband. However, thanks to Imperator Bangar Ruinbringer's eagerness for the Blood Legion to strike back against the Flame Legion using the fire magic Baelfire had sought to control, Rytlock was forgiven and was ordered to use the sword in battles as a propaganda tool. Rytlock's actions jeopardized the mission, which had been unrelated to the sword, and put his fellow warband member Crecia Stoneglow at risk of discovery. While the sword was being stored in an Ascalonian garrison, however, it was stolen by an undercover Blood Legion agent: Rytlock Brimstone. Roughly two hundred years after Sohothin had been lost in the Ring of Fire, the charr Flame Legion managed to recover it and returned it to Ascalon with the intent of delivering it to their Imperator Gaheron Baelfire. According to the legend, if either Sohothin or Magdaer returned to the haunted remains of Ascalon City in the hands of the rightful king of Ascalon, the curse of the Foefire would be lifted, and the ghosts would finally be laid to rest. There, Rurik was put down by his former allies, and the volcano erupted soon after, burying him and his sword.Īfter King Adelbern had used Magdaer to cast the Foefire curse which decimated Ascalon City and turned Ascalonians into vengeful ghosts who would attack anyone trespassing on their grounds for centuries to come, a legend began spreading. The sword's last human owner was Prince Rurik, who was killed by the Stone Summit dwarves near the Frost Gate, and whose reanimated corpse was forced to fight for Vizier Khilbron near Abaddon's Mouth in 1072 AE. Like its twin "sister", Magdaer, it is a powerful holy artifact, given to Ascalonian royalty by Balthazar himself as a gift of peace to protect the kingdom against invaders.
