The Shiverpeaks · Shiverpeak Mountains
The Molten Alliance burns the north
Dredge and Flame Legion — unlikely enemies welded into the Molten Alliance — raid the Shiverpeaks and northern Ascalon, driving refugees south, until the heroes destroy their weapons facility.
An impossible alliance of dredge and Flame Legion, two factions who had warred for generations, suddenly began raiding settlements across the Shiverpeak Mountains and northern Ascalon. Their attacks scattered norn and charr families and sent refugees fleeing toward Lion's Arch and the cities of the south.
The crisis introduced the norn Braham Eirsson and the charr Rox, who helped the heroes track the raiders to a hidden weapons facility and tear it down. Only later was the alliance revealed as one of the engineered coalitions of Scarlet Briar, who had been quietly turning Tyria's old hatreds into weapons of her own.
