The Fleshling Apocalypse, also known as the Fleshling War and Fleshling Invasion, is a large, multi-theater conflict fought in Sazius. The conflict is a result of the Children of Zahir's attempts to destroy all uncursed races on the continent.

## History

### Attack on Stalinzium

On an unknown date, somewhere in the late 2nd Era, Zandruk launched a small scale incursion into the city of Stalinzium. Whilst it was repelled by Stalin and his army, it signalled the impending war to come.

Few believed Stalinzium when it claimed it was assaulted by a coordinated undead horde

### Battles of Golden Stag Inn

Zandruk led an attack on the Golden Stag Inn, planting a Zahirite obelisk outside of the building in order to test the defences. When this was repelled by a small force, and the obelisk put under investigation, the Scholar saw it as an appropriate spot to launch an invasion from as they assumed the inn would be unable to stop a full scale attack.

Several days later, the inn was attacked again. Another Zahirite Obelisk was placed down, this time on a hill adjacent to the inn. However, due to divine intervention, a large group heroes, adventurers and soldiers were informed of the accursed invasion and summoned to defend against Zandruk's forces. The battle raged on, with a new wave of Fleshlings emerging every time the free races got close to the obelisk; Zandruk's projection taunted them throughout. Fortunately, by the end of the battle the tides had turned and the free races, led by Professor Frost, the owner of the inn, fought their way up the hill, destroying enough fleshlings to attack damage the obelisk and render it inert. Zandruk's projection continued to mock them, until he realised he was visible. The necromancer expressed surprise, exclaiming that it was rare for non mages to see his projections, before leaving and announcing to the crowd that this was not the end.

### Scourge of Valyasa

Soon after, the necromancer struck again by infecting the water supply of the Kingdom of Valyasa with fleshling serum. When the majority of citizens fell sick enough to either become fleshlings or become too weak to stop the former, Zandruk launched a fullscale attack into the city, slaughtering the majority of inhabitants. While King Avelio I of Valyasa, Prof Frost, and Valyasan Commander Yambul attempted to mount a defence, they were overrun and all turned into fleshlings.

### Battle for Valyasa

Threatened by the potential for Valyasa to be a staging ground for even larger incursions, the Anti-Fleshling Coalition arrived at the lost city with the hopes of retaking it from Zandruk. Zandruk, with an enthralled Yambul, sent wave after wave against the Coalition, eventually enhancing his body with magics and talking to the field himself. He slew numerous soldiers, but the magic enhancements began to take a toll on his body, resulting in his form weakening enough to be slain as he screamed they stay away. Zandruk, realising fleeting life, told Yambul he was the Children's only hope, only to realise he was already reslain. In his last moments, Zandruk mulled over his loss, concluding that he was in the wrong.
