== Original Horns of Hammerad ==
The Horns of Hammerad was originally formed by [[Calruz]], [[Ceria]] and [[Gerial]],<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/06/07/2-27/ Chapter 2.27]</ref> two years before the events of Volume 1. [[Sostrom]] and [[Hunt]] also belonged to their senior members. These five were the longest and most dedicated Horns, each of them had also spent the years before in other adventuring groups.<ref name="1.00H">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/02/12/1-00-h/ Chapter 1.00 H]</ref>
Other members joined the Horns of Hammerad less than a year before their arrival at [[Liscor]], in case of at least two [Warriors] only a month before that.<ref name="1.00H" /> Among these junior members were Terr, Coblat, Grimsore<ref name="1.02R">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/11/02/1-02-r/ Chapter 1.02 R]</ref>, Barr and [[Marian (Horns of Hammerad)|Marian]].
Some junior members, like Marian, signed on with the Horns only as temporary members, openly stating that they would leave once the group made a major haul.<ref name="1.00H" /> This also explains the fluctuation among them, as the Horns were still twelve members strong when Ryoka encountered them the first time.<ref name="1.02R"/> For example, prior to their arrival at Liscor
=== History of the Original Group ===
The Horns of Hammerad were introduced as a group of twelve adventurers around Level 20 each. They were fighting a losing battle against [[Liches|Lich]] in the [[Ruins of Albez]], when Ryoka delivered a batch of potions to them,<ref name="1.02R"/> which earned the City Runner their lasting gratitude.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/11/20/1-04-r/ Chapter 1.04 R]</ref> After their successful run in Albez, the Horns stayed for a while in [[Celum]] and then went to [[Esthelm]] to debate about their next dungeon run into the [[Ruins of Liscor]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/11/1-11-r/ Chapter 1.11 R]</ref> They arrived to Liscor and stayed at [[First Wandering Inn|The Wandering Inn]], becoming close with the [Innkeeper] Erin Solstice

The Horns of Hammerad took part of the well-prepared raid expedition of five Silver-rank adventuring teams into the Ruins of Liscor, along with the [[Silver Spears]], the [[Flawless Flights]], the [[Circle of Reneë]], [[Kyrial’s Pride]], and [Tactician] [[Olesm]].<ref name="1.00H" /> They accidentally triggered the release of [[Skinner]], a lesser guardian of the Ruins, who proceeded to kill most of the adventurers and [[Skinner's Attack on Liscor|attack Liscor]] with an army of undead.
One of the adventurers who lived was the captain of the Silver Spears, Yvlon Byres. Ceria and Olesm were thought to have died during the initial attack but survived by hiding in stone coffins. They were soon rescued after the half-Elf sent a distress signal to [[Pisces]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/25/2-05/ Chapter 2.05]</ref> Calruz also survived, albeit with one of his arms torn off, but was driven deeper into the dungeon. Gerial, Hunt, Terr, Coblat, Grimsore, Sostrom, Barr<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/27/6-11/ Chapter 6.11]</ref> and Marian died in the ruins. Gerial's, Sostrom's<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/02/19/1-02-h/ Chapter 1.02 H]</ref> and Hunt's<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/22/2-04/ 2.04]</ref> deaths and/or corpses were not explicitly shown or mentioned.
