One night later an army of Duervar assails the Parthan/Orc armies from behind. The Parthan armies press into the city, allowing the Orcs to do most of the fight. Somehow, the Parthans activate the Magna Portalus and an elite force of Parthans pass through the portal escaping Tharthin.

An elite force of Parthans invades the heart of Camus. The High Lord of the Holy Crown, the King, and the Arch-Magi of every Mage Tower is slain in the ensuing chaos. General Greyven takes up the High Lords sword against the invading forces, and slays their terrible leader, a fallen knight of Thamor cursed with undeath, and leading an army of undead warriors. It is claimed that legendary heroes came to the aid of Camus in its time of trouble, helping drive back the Parthans. Such heroes as Kalthanan the Dragonslayer (High Prince of Mirivia), Dorak (Duervan lord of honor and courage), and Bartal Drednaut (One of the Chosen of Thamor). Though these rumors were widespread there was never evidence that they were in the city or that they remained afterwards.
The Parthan army and supporting Orcs in Tharthin were finally routed.
The Parthans who invaded Camus were all slain, though some say Arch-Primus Kalos was amongst them, and escaped with the Crown of Tyrrant King after killing King Khorathis II himself.
The Parthan army laying siege of Camus is suddenly taken from behind by the army of Riverport, who they had thought was heading to Tharthin. They are routed and forced to retreat by boat back to Farrellin and Parthus.
