Editing Ul'Dah (section)

=== The Dead Walk ===
In 1177, a drought came over Thanalan and King Lalawefu succumbed to illness. This misfortune spurred Ul'dah to action, Sil'dih's sibling nation seeking to profit from the confusion. The following year, the city-state marched forth in full force to reclaim their water source. The Sil'dihn elite, however, did not stand idly by. They united their nation in the face of the crisis, and met Ul'dah with their own army. The resulting war was long and bloody. Yet, despite countless summers of campaigns against one another, neither side could claim superiority, and the conflict showed little sign of drawing to an end.

In 1181, however, Ul'dah found a means to break the stalemate- a powder, devised by the thaumaturges, that turned men's corpses into zombies. Having laid siege to Sil'dih, the Ul'dahns used their catapults to cast the substance upon the citizens within. What followed within was a scene not amiss from the seven hells. The bodies of those fallen to starvation rose one by one, and attacked their own countrymen. 

To explain the anguished screams, Sasagan Ul Sisigan- the third of his name and ruler of Ul'dah- crafted a fictitious tale: Sil'dih had transformed their own dead to zombies in an attempt to win the war. Proclaiming it a sacred crusade to send these zombies to Thal, he ordered his Immortal Flames, an elite unite, into the city. Behind them followed a great host, and together they purged the walking dead. Thus, Sil'dih fell.
