History

During the Last War , in the Third Siege of Korth , the White Lions were engaged in defending the city from Cyran and warforged soldiers. When they finally breached the walls in the winter of 972 YK , the White Lions heroically held the Holygate while clerics of the Sovereign Host under Alinda Roerith sealed it. King Jaron , Alinda, and the White Lions captain then rallied the defenders and drove the Cyrans out. [4]
After the Last War , the White Lions stopped using the Caves of the Skeletal Hand to store food and water reserves. [5]
