Sartan, the Malevolent, the embodiment of Evil, consolidated his power
on the Isle of Evil. He raised Mount Mhaldor under Baelgrim Fortress, a
magnet to any Evil influence within Sapience. As such, he gained
complete control over the Ruby Sphinx, Thoth's Bough, the Demon Mirror,
the Garden of Midnight, the Stygian Totem, the Valley of Shadow, and
Blood Falls. He has destroyed the one landmark that most closely
represented Chaos, the Cave of Golgotha (and with it the Crystal Cave).
Finally, he renamed the Fist of Dameron as the Fist of Sartan. In a
gesture of spite, he forever cut off the flow of essence to the
Occultists Guild.

Those hearing this call of Evil soon began flocking to Mount Mhaldor,
the nexus of Evil. Sartan set up the Council of Mhaldor, which
immediately began to plot how to use Necromancy, now firmly under
Sartan's control, to further their goals. The rest of Sapience looked
helplessly on as the once imprisoned Lord of Evil honed and consolidated
his power in an unprecedented manner.
