Along with the Red Brothers, Edvard mrecilessly raided and pillaged the coastal settlements of Oren, fighting in many battles with ferocity and brutality. The war would not turn in favor of Urguan despite the help of the Norlandic allies, and Oren would set their sights on Seahelm, realising that he had doomed Norland to Orenian occupation, Edvard would climb the tallest mountain in Avar in shame, eventually succumbing to the cold and dying alone.
