The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 8
|
Recently there was a bit of a conflict between the Justice Tiernen and the
Warlords Galhea and Corgath. Apparently Tiernen was traveling in
winter with Xexes when they saw Galhea in the area. Galhea died, and
Corgath went into winter trying to get to his comrades corpse before the
others could reach it. They took him to be a threat, and slew Corgath
before he could reach Galhea's corpse. Tiernen and Xexes looted
Corgath's items, and continued in winter, getting to Galhea's corpse and
looting it before the items could return to his pit. Galhea and Corgath
took Tiernen's actions to be an act lacking honor, and hope that his
actions do not represent the whole of Justice, especially since he is
currently the highest ranking mortal in Justice--we can only hope
that this does not lead to war.
Minions of Zaikkra are falling to the Theran defenders in greater numbers
than ever before. Morale in the dark army is nearing an all time low, as
evidenced by the attempted defection of one of their greatest allies, the
undead thief, Aeva. First branded a traitor for being seen providing aid
and comfort to the fell and abyssal invaders, Aeva now claims, "The whole
thing was a mistake" and has petitioned the gods for a change in status.
The loss of such a revered soldier has reportedly sent shockwaves through
the ranks of Zaikkra's allies, causing some to wonder whether all hope of
victory has finally faided. The few who still claim the Lich's power to be
indominable have spoken of an as-yet-untapped reserve of fell and abyssal
troops, who wait for the correct moment to strengthen the invasion force and
overwhelm Thera's defenders. Despite those claims, many citizens see a
quick end to the war as inevitable. Talk in the cities has turned rapidly
from "How shall we defeat the invaders?" To "What should we do with the
survivors? Few, if any, advocate mercy for the remnants of the Dark One's
army.
