NEWS ROUNDUP
The light fades and darkness follows by Zanderic
-----------------------------------
After the fall of the great warrior and Knight Runath, the Legion has
grown double in strength. With new found power the Legion could once again
return to claim their rights to Thera. I have had the bitter taste of their
new found strength from Thkot. It seems that it has made more than a
formidable opponent out of him. I recall the times when I could beat him,
as long as I was prepared. Now he seemingly has a strong advantage over me.
Their protection proving to be more and more tempting, grows in the mind of
those that fear them. The Legion is like a sickness in so many ways. Once
the Legion infects an area, it spreads and destroys all that are in its
path. The sickness is growing within the body of Thera, and the only cure
is that of the Knights. Let us just hope that their blades are keen enough
to end the infection, now and forever.
Resurgence of the Legion by Dartheryn
------------------------
It has not gone unnoticed by many inhabitants of the realms, that the Legion of
Darkness is once again enjoying something of a resurgence. It now boasts powerful,
high profile members who appear to be taking an active role in upsetting the
current balance of power in Thera, which is currently very much in the hands of
the Knights of Valour. With new members being inducted, and the ability to
co-ordinate their appearances in the Realms, these new Legionnaires once again
pose a conceivable threat to those who refuse to pay for protection.
Navatar, executor of Valour and leader of the Knights Cabal, however, was
unconcerned about this recent revival in both the power and the membership of the
legion, saying "Day after day they are cleansed".
While it certainly seems true at that at the moment the Knights still hold sway in
the battle of Light and Dark, it may not always be so. As Navatar himself states
They are cleansed from the land, and yet another takes their place. It seems
that, by the very nature of their chosen path, these evil creatures will swarm to
the legion. While the Knights strike down Legionnaires, more will be waiting to
take their place, hungry for the power and protection the Cabal offers.
Navatar claims that he has "not come across one who has proven a challenge", yet
this may only be a matter of time. As the power of Legion grows, so it will feed
off its own power. As evils all over the realms see the dark Cabal growing in
influence once again, they too will seek shelter and support under its aegis,
strengthening the group still further with renewed applications. Its current
weakness, and inability to defend itself, will likely end after the departure of
key Knights. Then, perhaps, the realms can look forward to once again being
plunged into the fear and chaos generated by rampaging Legionnaires.
Navatar confidently states that "The Age of Knights is far from over," and so it
will need to be, if they are to combat what looks like a Cabal preparing to once
again extend its reign of terror over the lands.
I remain your humble servant,
Dartheryn.
