The Theran Mystique - Volume 3, Issue 5
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.
