The Fall of Quard

The Fall of Quard was when the beautiful Eldar capital found itself under siege by the second half of the Horde unleashed at Zakkasil.

Battle
The battle began with the advance of the Keth legions to the gate. According to some texts, ‘a Great Wyrm (Dragon) came to the gate, and using fire and a storm of claws knocked it from its hinges.’ Whatever the case, the gate did fall and Keth scaled the walls, overrunning the stout defence of the Men stationed upon those bastions. The men fought with great skill through each building, defending every inch and every room of every house to the last, but it was useless. The Trolls crashed their way further and further into the City, eventually pinning the last defenders within the Brass Keep. Within those bronze walls they held for many a day, but the Keth piled against those thick gates and caved them in. A few Eldar sorcerers remained, and they too defended their city to the last, but the defence was ultimately hopeless.

Aftermath
The aftermath of the battle led to the remaining Tribes of Men uniting and joining with the Eldar in the Battle of the Darkness.
