When the front gates of Leyndell, the Royal Capital, were destroyed for no apparent reason, when the Erdtree was accidentally set ablaze by some troublesome little girl, when the entire city was thoroughly conquered and blanketed by ashes raining from the sky, and when the defenders and their legendary "Omen King," Morgott, all laid down their arms and surrendered, the great battle that would decide the ultimate fate of the Lands Between had, for all intents and purposes, come to an end.
On the very day the Battle of Leyndell, the Royal Capital, was declared over, the "Ashen Council," which would govern and determine the fate of the world, was officially established in the royal court at the Elden Throne, beneath the Erdtree burning with Shadowflame.
