The Diamons invaded the Northlands. On the approach of the Diamons' hoards the Melites abandoned their farmsteads and moved into Agyr. Garrisons were posted.. In some sections of the city walls seemed sufficant protection, though the defences remained vunerable to attaacks. Agyr needed more time to mount their defences. If the Diamons had reached the city, they would have surely overtaken its defenders, had it not been for the courage of one man, One - that great patrician whom the fortune of Melhed gave to be her shield on that day of peril.

One was on gaurd at the bridge near Lastfell when the town fell to a sudden attack from the diamon hoards. Only a small bridge stood between Agyr and total destruction. The Diamon hoards came pouring through the forests, while the melite troops, throwing down their arms, were behaving more like undicsiplined rabble than a trained fighting force.

One acted with swiftness: he proudly took his stand at the mouth of the bridge. Sword and Shield ready for action, he prepared himself for close combat, one man aginst the diamon hoard. He intened to by his comrades time to collapes the bridge. The advancing diamons paused in sheer ashtonisment and confusion at the sight of such reckless courage.
