First Appearance: [[Shadows of the Past]]
=== Empyrean Shadow War ===
Summary: Rebel Shadow General


Isin Dule was a childhood friend of Ilservian Palacost who would be known of as Bael’zharon. Little is known of his early years beyond that he as a failed seminarian. When Ilservian was cast out of his town of Daralat and went in search of aid, Isin Dule and four other friends joined him. After Ilservian Palacost turned into Bael’zharon, Isin Dule became one of his Shadow Generals.
* During the occupation of the [[Dericost]] town of [[Daralet]] by [[Yalaini]] soldiers, Isin Dule accompanied [[Ilservian Palacost]] when he was banned from the village. <ref name="A Brief History for Travelers">2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall/The Child of Daralet--Leafcull to Frostfell, PY 11 / (November to December, 2000)]]</ref>
* Isin Dule is described as "a failed seminary and friend of Ilservian since childhood". <ref name="A Brief History for Travelers">2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall/The Child of Daralet--Leafcull to Frostfell, PY 11 / (November to December, 2000)]]</ref>
* [[Ilservian Palacost]]'s forces assault the Empire's holdings in the Haebrous continent, and, after laying waste to a large part of the continent, was captured by the [[Council of Five]] and imprisoned in the [[Soul Crystals]] 
* Three of the companions of [[Ilservian Palacost]], Isin Dule, [[Ferah]] and [[Ler Rhan]] survive the [[Empyrean Shadow War]], two ([[Omadin]] and [[Elithra of Daralet]]) are slain.

He seems to be one of the most rational and intelligent of the Generals, advising Bael’zharon that the assault on Jailne Lyceum was a trap. But Bael’zharon was too driven by rage and so ensnared by the Yalaini Council.  
=== The Fourth Sending of Darkness ===
* Ilservian's surviving friends became corporeal once more and raised the Thorns, using them to alter the patterns of magic in the world. But Isin Dule had misgivings. He remembered the final days of the last war, his friend's blank expression when the planar energy was felt, and the compulsion that had come upon him. “It is likely a trap, brother,” he told Ilservian, and still they had gone. <ref name=PY11/11> 2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Should the Stars Fall/The Child of Daralet--Leafcull to Frostfell, PY 11 / (November to December, 2000)]]</ref>

* The destruction of the 6th and last Crystal, the [[Shard of the Herald]], took place with help of the generals Black [[Ferah]] and [[Ler Rhan]] and their Isparian allies.
* Dule now openly declares opposition to [[Ilservian Palacost]]. During the parlay between Empyreans, Virindi and the Shadow Faction of Isin Dule, he points out one of the weaknesses of [[Ilservian Palacost]] and explains the whereabouts of the [[Heart of Shadow]] which is guarded by forces of [[Ferah]] of Daralet.<ref>2001/04 [[A Reign of Stone]] - [[Scrawled Note (Aerbax Laboratory)]]</ref><ref>2007/10 [[Masked Memories]] - [[Delving into Claude's Mind#Lore & Dialog]]</ref>

Dule returned to Dereth during the “Shadows of the Past” event and participated in the kidnapping of various Isparans for purposes of reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. Unlike his fellow generals, Dule saw usefulness and danger in the Isparan people. He also continued to be concerned by Bael’zharon’s obsessive rage. This drove him into rebellion against the other generals.  
=== The War of Blood and Shadow ===
* After the second time the Hopeslayer is defeated, the Shadows retreat.<ref name=IsinOrders>2006/05 - [[The Price of Loyalty]] - [[Isin Dule's Orders]]</ref>
* They become active again during the [[The War of Blood and Shadow]] Story Arc. The three generals, [[Ler Rhan]] and [[Black Ferah]] on one side, Isin Dule on the other, concentrate their activities on [[Caul]], where Isin Dule keeps a close eye on the whereabouts of the other two. <ref name=IsinOrders>2006/05 - [[The Price of Loyalty]] - [[Isin Dule's Orders]]</ref><ref>2006/01 [[Reprisals]] - [[Instructions (Shriveled Lump)]]</ref><ref>2006/02 [[A Change in Tactics]] - [[Instructions (Shadowfire Stone)]]</ref>
* To that goal, Isin Dule raises a Shadow Spire on Caul.<ref name=IsinOrders>2006/05 - [[The Price of Loyalty]] - [[Isin Dule's Orders]]</ref> Some members of the [[Raven Hand]] have willingly embraced the Shadow and joined his cause. <ref name=IsinOrders>2006/05 - [[The Price of Loyalty]] - [[Isin Dule's Orders]]</ref> Others, such as [[Archon Merille]] he does not trust.<ref name=IsinOrders>2006/05 - [[The Price of Loyalty]] - [[Isin Dule's Orders]]</ref>
* He finds out about the activities of the [[Raven Hand]], notably [[High Archon Kraest]], trying to summon [[Grael]] and orders his forces to interfere.<ref name=IsinInstructions>2006/05 - [[The Price of Loyalty]] - [[Isin Dule's Instructions]]</ref>
* When Isin Dule cannot prevent Grael from being summoned, he calls in the help of the Isparians to rise the [[Dark Isle]].<ref>2006/06 [[From the Darkest Depths]] - [[From the Darkest Depths#Soul Crystal of the Dark Isle|Soul Crystal of the Dark Isle Live Event]]</ref> and to prevent the [[Dark Isle]] from being sunk again.<ref>2006/06 [[From the Darkest Depths]] - [[Raising Grael's Island#Lore & Dialog]]</ref> During [[Toward Ancient Shores]] patch, he opens the way to the [[Dark Isle]]<ref>2006/07 - [[Toward Ancient Shores]] - [[Lanaith#Lore & Dialog]]</ref>, the "island where Grael once slept".<ref>2006/07 - [[Toward Ancient Shores]] - [[Toward Ancient Shores#Town Crier Rumors|Town Crier Rumors]]</ref>


His first act was to fail to send aid to Ler Rhan’s shadows who were attacking the Fenmalain Vestibule. Instead, he moved to defend the crystal inside Caulnalain Vestibule.  
=== Joining the Ranks of the Isparians ===
* Isin Dule finds a way to remove the "taint" from those following him by studying the work of [[Aerbax]]. [[Asheron]] sends him one of his Lifestones, and the Shadow faction of Isin Dule joins the Isparian people. <ref>2010/04 - [[Shedding Skin]] - [[Announcements - 2010/04 - Shedding Skin#Teaser]]</ref><ref>2010/04 - [[Shedding Skin]] - [[Shedding Skin#Town Crier Rumors|Town Crier Rumors]]</ref><ref>2010/04 - [[Shedding Skin]] - [[Character Creation/Racial Lore#Shadow]]</ref><ref>2010/06 [[Shifting Gears]] - [[Letter From Home (Shadow)]]</ref>


After the release of Bael’zharon he joined the shaky Virindi-Dericost alliance and disclosed information about the Heart of Shadow within the Shade Stronghold. The Heart of Shadow was a link between Bael’zharon and the source of his dreadful power. This knowledge was critical to Asheron constructing the Dark Crucible with which Isparans were eventually able to overcome Bael’zharon.

With the fall of Bael’zharon, Isin Dule fled with his rebel faction to an unknown location. While he is a rebel against Bael’zharon and the other shadow generals, his true motivations and aspirations are unknown.

Before he left, his scream of betrayal was heard by the triumphant humans. “Dule! Base traitor! I sense your art in this artifact assembled by the last Yalain. Thee and thine are banished from Our sight for all time, and ye shall be hunted until the stars fall from their course! Marked are thee!” [1]

Empyrean Shadow War

You hear a childish voice say, "Long ago there were five, but now there are three. They will have their revenge."[2]

The Fourth Sending of Darkness

  • Ilservian's surviving friends became corporeal once more and raised the Thorns, using them to alter the patterns of magic in the world. But Isin Dule had misgivings. He remembered the final days of the last war, his friend's blank expression when the planar energy was felt, and the compulsion that had come upon him. “It is likely a trap, brother,” he told Ilservian, and still they had gone. [3]
  • Isin Dule's faction of shadows seemed alarmed by the Hopeslayer's blind rage, and appeared to be working to keep him imprisoned.[4] Fearing that Ilservian Palacost is insane and will bring about the destruction of the world, one of his first acts is to command his forces to guard the Nexus Crystal from destruction.[5] But this first attempt to protect the council's trap failed. The humans of Ispar gained access to the Nexus Facility, and a second piece of Ilservian's prison was destroyed. [3]
  • He withheld his forces and did not help Ler Rhan in conquering the Fenmalain Vestibule.[6] Going even further, Dule's Shadows, following the forces of the Empyreans who defended Fenmalain Vestibule and Shendolain Vestibule, moved to defend the third vault, named the Caulnalain Vestibule [7] [3][8]
  • The destruction of the 6th and last Crystal, the Shard of the Herald, took place with help of the generals Black Ferah and Ler Rhan and their Isparian allies.
  • Dule now openly declares opposition to Ilservian Palacost. During the parlay between Empyreans, Virindi and the Shadow Faction of Isin Dule, he points out one of the weaknesses of Ilservian Palacost and explains the whereabouts of the Heart of Shadow which is guarded by forces of Ferah of Daralet.[9][10]
  • Ilservian Palacost is weakened and his physical form destroyed[11], however, Ferah and Ler Rhan are not.[1] When Ilservian Palacost was defeated, he exiled Dule and his forces from the ranks of the “true” Shadows.[12] Isin Dule disappears[13][14] and retreats to "somewhere in the lonely wastes".[1]

The War of Blood and Shadow

Joining the Ranks of the Isparians

  • Isin Dule finds a way to remove the "taint" from those following him by studying the work of Aerbax. Asheron sends him one of his Lifestones, and the Shadow faction of Isin Dule joins the Isparian people. [23][24][25][26]
