It has been heard that since the demons have achieved their fiftieth rank,
they are seeking revenge against all of those who thought to threaten them
in their youth. So for any of you who took a daring chance by
attacking them... Look out! In addition, it seems that somehow the
Demons have come across the wears that were looted from Nadoshi's
corpse. Perhaps the Demons and the Legion will battle and destroy each
other and, ironically, rid the world of evil, once and for all. Unfortunately,
this hope is doubtful, so this reporter suggests that any who wish to face
the Demons should not venture alone, but prepare with a group of hunters
to bring them down.
In addition, in reference to the demons, the very first warnings of doom, and the writings of a certain person by the name of Studeyr (if anyone has made copies of these notes, please notify a Herald fast! they may well hold vital information that, even if it is too late to be of use to us, might well be invaluable to the generations that live to see the next event of this nature.) I will not go over the details of those events here. I will merely list what I have learned and what I knew as rumors to be confirmed as truth: 'An Emperor, by the name of Grazz't, is the god of worlds different from our own. The gods draw power from a world itself, perhaps even from the sentient beings within each world. Thus, the Emperor apparently has acquired so much power from his other worlds that he wants to take Thera for his own as well. The Emperor's world must be a harsh, horrible one: in the very limited talks I have had with his prized warriors, the strange demons, this Emperor has cultivated his worlds by "destroying the weak". Very few beings in Thera are a perfect blend of strong body, strong mind, and strong will. Even the very few who meet those criteria are apt lose all they now have if they are pressed into the Emperor's service as comforts often make one soft. To continue, the gods foresee an "ill fate" approaching Thera. This Fate can not be avoided, I am told, but its final conclusion may yet be able to be influenced, if not by mortals at this point, then perhaps by the gods themselves.' 'Perhaps if one has listened to the stories and legends of the past, this may sound somewhat familiar. Long ago, a now banished Theran god discovered the means to travel between worlds. With his aid and direction, the armies of the other world invaded Thera. Thankfully, the god responsible for this was defeated and banished. The cycle of history has begun again. However, this time, it is the work of the god of other worlds that initiates the contact, contact which has been anything but peaceful. The other god is, of course, the demons' Emperor, the one who has already exerted some measure of destruction upon us as witnessed by the ruins of Valour. Now then, what use is any of this? I had used this pathetic example, but it did seem to fit well: a tsunami that destroys a land starts a long, long distance away as a very small tremor. Is not a small tremor easy enough to influence, and if so, might not the mortals of Thera, should they know the signs of the past well enough to recognize the new tremor, be able to influence or perhaps even determine the outcome of such future events with their own small works and deeds?' Without this, the history of Thera, the future generations are doomed to our fate as we are doomed to the fate of our ancestors. |
