Arzakon's War was an event that occured on Shandalar.

Description

After being repelled by The Guardian of Shandalar and the Great Barrier, Arzakon instead started to corrupt the five Shandalaran guildlords - at the time Alsadim K'mer, Starcryst, Kzzy'n, Morgane, in addition to the immortal lichlord Skavius Slan.[1] Arzakon told them they could cast a Spell of Dominion to rule over all of Shandalar, although the spell's true effect would be to grant Arzakon access through the Great Barrier. Tempted by Arzakon's promises, the guildlords rose against the Guardian and killed his body, though his spirit lingered. [1]

The Guardian's spirit warned a wandering amateur spellcaster of the imminent danger and trained them to fight against the guildlords. Before the guildlords were able to gather enough resources to cast the Spell of Dominion, they were defeated one by one by this unnamed spellcaster. However, the Great Barrier had weakened just enough that Arzakon could access the plane. He battled the spellcaster and lost, and was expelled from the plane for many years.[1]
