After three years of silence, Solam once again made his name resound throughout the entire Abyss.
No one knew what madness had seized Solam. He suddenly dispatched his Sons of Solam to launch a surprise assault on Skullspine. Led by seven Sons of Solam and a small force of elites, they routed the demonic army Graz'zt had stationed to blockade Skullspine and killed its commander, Graz'zt's steadfast ally, the undead priest—Dark Milaruk, a powerful demon lord.
Afterward, the seven Sons of Solam moved with astonishing speed to destroy the seal Graz'zt had placed upon Adimarchus. They shattered his prison and released the crazed demon lord. At this point, many believed that Solam had sent people to break the seal under Malcanthet's orders, releasing this fallen angel, who bore a deep hatred for Graz'zt, to deal with him.
But what happened next left everyone baffled. The seven Sons of Solam did not leave at once. Instead, they surrounded and attacked Adimarchus, ultimately subduing the mad fallen angel. By the time Graz'zt received the news and rushed to Skullspine, the seven Sons of Solam had already departed with Adimarchus.
Even Graz'zt himself could not make heads or tails of it. In Graz'zt's eyes, Adimarchus had no value whatsoever. There was nothing left in his mind but the desire for destruction; no reason remained to speak of. Even if such a madman were rescued, he would bring nothing but a heap of trouble!
Why had Graz'zt captured Adimarchus in the first place? Was it not because he had wanted to use forbidden means to control the fallen angel and make him serve him? Yet Adimarchus had fallen into madness and turned Skullspine into a forbidden zone. Not only had Graz'zt gained nothing, but he had also needed to expend effort sealing Adimarchus away.
