The Decline of Legion
The numbers of the Legion have dwindled as of late. Within mere days of each other, both the Forsaken and one of the two Dreadlords of this mighty hall vanished from these lands, never to be seen again. Katriena Schade, the Queen Bitch of the Legion, and Quexis, the Holy Shaman, were the names of these two prominent Legion members, and their departures from these lands could not have been more different. Katriena Schade was anointed to the position of the Forsaken mortal leader of Legion after the departure of the deadly fire giant Groq. Under the reign of Katriena's leadership, the lands saw the final death of Deiminos, perhaps the most hated Justice of recent times, and an increased disdain for the laws that these hated Justices upheld. In life, Katriena left her mark upon many a foe, earning herself a reputation for having "balls of steel" for her willingness to strike at any and all. It was this daring nature that ended up costing her the life that she loved so much. She died just like she lived, insolent of the law and those who upheld it. Her final death came at the hands of a Justice, which is no surprise to those who knew her hatred of them. Her reign was not overly long, but it was one in which she led her underlings into battle bravely, fighting for the power which she strived so hard to attain. Quexis was a drow who seemed to surface out of nowhere and rise quickly within the inner ranks of the Legion. She was a ruthless shaman, striking down whomever she pleased, making him the perfect target for the Knights of Valour. Many times she was outnumbered by the Knights, sometimes as badly as 7 to 1. She fought with passion, and a sincere hatred for those who smiled and did good deeds for others. She had no remorse about using any resources available to strike down these do-gooders, and this is what led to her departure from Thera. In a note penned to his Legionnaires, Lord Davarius stressed that he wished to see more fighting done 1 to 1, instead of great groups of Legionnaires ganging up together to strike down their enemies. This change in tactics disturbed Quexis greatly. So great in fact that it caused her to get in a loud argument with her immortal lord that could be heard by all her fellow Legionnaires. Not all approved of this new policy, but no other Legion spoke out with as much passion and forcefulness about his or her dislike of this new policy as Quexis. Once she realized that her pleas were falling on deaf ears, she decided that the life of a Legionnaire was not for her anymore. Instead of being cast out of the lot, she chose bravely to walk to the unsteady rope bridge north of the town of Darkhaven near the Outerlimits, and cast herself off, plunging into the inky black of the Underdark, never to return. This was a week in which two great fighters and leaders were lost, and the Legion were struck a mighty blow. It will be hard to replace such great powers as Katriena and Quexis, but the Legion always seem to have a knack of discovering the greatest talents among all the dark guilds of Thera. Farewell Katriena and Quexis! May your afterlives bring you the powers which you sought so passionately for during your times in these lands. Penned by, Alistor, the Novice Storyteller |
