Built during the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), Liamenor served as the Covenant headquarters for forces serving under Corellon. It become a Covenant Holy Bastion, one of the major bulwarks for coordinating a war that spanned worlds.

From Liamenor's crystal walls, Corellon planned the military operations against the hordes of a demon lord named Sathumort. In total, those under him numbered close to fifty thousand. When they came through the Henmona Rift, these attacked the Cilarrion Region on the world Kriav.

In the conflict with Sathumort, Corellon's armies adapted to his foe's air attack, moving the population into forests and building redoubts where the flying demons did not have so much of an advantage. They built intricate and highly defensive areas among the trees and out of necessity became masters of the bow. Liamenor became the heart of training archers, light infantry skirmishers, and guerrilla tactics. The wood elves, naturally more dexterous than their Kriavfahliil cousins, took these tactics into the trees training how to move swiftly and safely among branches and vines. They also perfected camouflage to blend into the forests.

On 2 War March 135 GE, taking a big gamble, Sathumort sent all his reserve forces through a rift called the Sathumort Pocket. Opened several miles from the walls of Liamenor, a bridge between the abyssal world of Nasudex and the world of Kriav,they quickly went into battle. Liamenor would have fell, but for a decision by Corellon to send an elite force, the Maeraddyth Brigade, back through the Sathumort Pocket, seeking out the boss on the other side. The Maeraddyth Brigade went to Sathumort's hold Una'gah where they permanently retired Sathumort.
