Background history from the game Legend[]
A city located in the North of the Norton Kingdom, Gladstone City is the location of the start of the war between the Light and the Dark which sweeps over Firuman. The event that sparks up this war is called The Change of the Bloody Moon, which is where the vanguard of the Dark Elves plan to ambush the city and then follow that up with the atrocious massacre of all 150,000 residents of the city. The souls of these residents would be offered up to the Dark Elves' goddess, the Spider Queen, Lolth and there would be less than 1,000 survivors by the end of it. After the sacrificial ritual, the corpses would be thrown into the Gladstone River beside the city. The river would nearly be cut off by the dam of corpses, the water stained red with blood. Gladstone would be reduced to rubble that night.

On the night of The Change of the Bloody Moon, the Magic Academy had been one of the places in which the Dark Elves prioritized their attack.
