A large army of vampires, wolves, and "faceless shadows," known as the Gray Host attacked the Garrison from Verkarth. killing hundreds of soldiers of the Garrison, draining the blood of the men before killing again. Saint Pelin, noticing that only blood would keep the vampires at bay, gave his own life for the people in the Garrison. Pelin was said to have prayed to Stendarr to provide him with an endless supply of blood, Stendarr answered, and filled Saint Pelin with an endless supply of blood, so the vampires drank, and drank, but could not suck him dry.
