	As Iuz was building his empire, a [[wood elf]] from a nearby elven [[kingdom]] named [[Easan]] discovered Iuz was no mere [[human]], but a being demonic in nature. Easan called many times to his kinsmen to wage [[war]] upon Iuz before he could take over their kingdom. As Easan's fellow elves began to heed his calls, Iuz's agents [[kidnapped]] Easan and delivered him to the [[City of Skulls]], the [[capital]] of Iuz's budding empire. With Easan in front of him, Iuz called the elf a [[warmonger]]. In return, Easan said that Iuz's mind could not fathom the ways of how the elves thought. Iuz expressed agreement and infused Easan with a [[fiendish]] spirit mentally connected to Iuz's mind, supposedly so he could learn to understand him.
