The Enslavement of Trine was an event that occurred during the Time of Legends.

History

Xarl grew up on the streets of the city-state of Balthesa and was eventually recruited as a spellsquire by the wizard Skule. He learned the magic arts, but he felt content for his master and secretly acquired a Horned Halo. As archmage, he eventually came into the service of the barbarian Warlord Mandek Ironfist, and forced his former mentor Skule to summon the Serra Angel Trine. He then placed the Horned Halo on Trine's head, binding her to him and making her a fallen angel. Now an Angel-Keeper, Xarl was granted a castle in the mountains of Wolf's Hackle by Mandek Ironfist. This castle became known as Angel Keep.

By using Trine's power, Xarl became the most powerful man in ancient Corondor, and perhaps all Dominaria at the time. To maintain his power, he magically caused Trine to forget her past as an angel of Serra. He prolonged his own life and courted the woman Eska of Thetia, as well as many others, founding the House of Xarl. To his countless descendants, he was known as the Great Father. Xarl and Trine's bloody rule of Corondor eventually ended with the Absolution of Trine.

In the three centuries that the Enslavement of Trine lasted, Geyadrone Dihada was in parallel conquering the southern parts of Corondor while Dakkon Blackblade was wandering the planes looking for her.
