First Sharran War

After the fall of The Hand, Allanna and her Sharran arcanists, along with her loyal servant only known as David waged a war in Cordor that resulted in a strong uprising against the Sharran influenced Arcane Tower.

Aristotlus, together with many Cordorians spent weeks in a war that took place on the streets of Cordor, which ended in Allanna's capture and a final, standoff battle with David on the upper floor of the Tower where Cordor's forces along with future archmages Kaeshan Se'Lhane and Sway Sand, defeated the last remaining Sharrans.

Second Sharran War

Allanna's successor Keth's building of the Sharranite Stronghold in the Abyss allowed him to assault Arelith countless of times with minimal risk form himself. At this time, a small branch of his people, including the Lord Necromancer Tijies Majirie, Archmage Deiter Heydrich and probably the two witch-sisters, left Keth and his fortress to form a small cult in Wharftown.

The age of Keth's reign over the Fortress ended abruptly, only very few know what has happened to the sorcerer. Some believe that after a failed assault on the grove he was imprisoned in an old oak, others suspect foul play on Selene's account, who got to rule the fortress later. Yet others say that Keth went to attack a traitor, Tijies and got defeated during the assault against his people. Even though the main forces were defeated, the remaining Sharrans kept spreading fear and terror all over the island, infamous remains of the Second Sharran war are the cult formed by Tijies, the Witch-Sisters and the corrupted Damion Balefire.

The infamous Witch sisters and their loyal men and allies led a great many assaults from numerous bases such as Wharftown, the Sharran Temple in the Abyss, the caverns around Brogendenstein or the island of dragons. Although they lead each of those attacks personally, only one of them was captured, Venmelya, the younger and less calculating one.|In an attempt to free her and many of their forces, Quimelya and her men descended upon Light Keep. Even though Venmelya was freed and therefore escaped execution, the assault on the heavily fortified castle cost many of their men.

The Witch Sister vanished soon afterwards and nobody heard anything from them until they claimed the Abyssal Fortress for a new era of war and bloodshed...

Third Sharran War

After barons Cameo and Zeer Giovanni were discovered to be active Sharrans, Judge Carrion exiled the two Barons and stripped their titles. The couple fled to the Abyss, where they occupied the abyssal fortress once belonging to Keth Naburis of the Forsaken.

Zeer Giovanni began development on Doom Golems. To acquire the necessary model to work from, Zeer enlisted the aid of the Black Widow barbarian tribe to assault Cordor and kidnap the Duke Galverson. This was done so that the ex-baron would exchange the Duke's life for a Mithril Defender. A group of adventurers led by baroness Eldafire and future commander of the New Cordor Guard, Graash Zorgar, escorted a Mithril Defender to the Giovanni's abyssal fortress.

However, in a last moment of Sharran trickery, Cameo Giovanni stabbed Duke Galverson with a corrupted dagger. Combat ensued, and Cameo Giovanni was slain by Majordomo Jacob Swift, and Zeer Giovanni by Professor Melphele. The end of the Third Shadow War called for the decline of the Baronial Rule of Cordor soon after, as there was no longer a ruling Duke to lead the city.
