A dozen years before the events of Myth: The Fallen Lords the cities of the West prepared for war. As the Province organized troops a few legions of volunteers stood guard over the passes of the Cloudspine, holding back the Fallen Lords until an offensive army could be gathered.
The Legions knew they couldn't hold the passes against the fury of Balor by themselves so an agreement was made with the Forest Giants. They would come to the aid of the Legions each spring and head back to Forest Heart at the first snowfall. Defense was unnecessary during winter as the blizzards of the Cloudspine would fill the passes with several meters of snow, making it impossible for even undead to cross.
For three years the Legions and Forest Giants successfully defended the pass side by side in an almost neverending battle against Thrall and frostbite. Then, without warning, the Forest Giants did not return. Balor seized this oppurtunity to break through the weakened defences at Seven Gates and Bagrada, and into the West.
That summer the Province was crushed.
