  • Balor Subborns Myrmidons

    Circa 2181 AE. The Myrmidons are subborned by Balor with the promise of power and immortality, so they leave their northern kin and become the Kithless.

    Desirous of power and immortality, the warrior race of the Myrmidons left their northern kin to join Balor and the Fallen Lords, and so they became known as The Kithless.

    -Myrmidon Flavor Text, Myth TFL

  • Muirthemne Sacked

    2431 AE. Muirthemne is sacked, burned, and buried under a mountain of rock and sand by Balor and the Fallen Lords.

    Fifty years ago the Fallen overcame the armies of the Cath Bruig, sacked Muirthemne and turned the empire East of the Cloudspine into desert (now called the Devoid).

    -Sack of Muirthemne, Fall of Cath Bruig Description, Glossary, Myth TFL Manual

    One hundred ten years ago, during the Wolf Age, Muirthemne was sacked, burned and all but buried under a mountain of rock and sand by Balor and the Fallen Lords. As I stood before the ruins of the Mausoleum of the Cath Bruig I could not help but wonder what we hoped to gain by owning it.

    -Myth II, Level 16, "The Ibis Crown"

    ...and Connacht, the great hero of the Wind Age, returned as Balor to lay waste to the greatest empire the world had ever known.

    -Warrior Flavor Text, Myth TFL

    2467 AE. ou'Kahn and Caliban forge a truce between their respective peoples, fir'Bolg and Human.

    2468 AE. Soulblighter levels Covenant, and Prince Regent Mauriac and the royal family, including young prince Alric, flee through a hidden tunnel to Shoal.

    Mauriac was prince regent here during King Alric's adolescence, and knows of an underground tunnel just outside the city which leads to Shoal, a village four miles away down the coast. The King's family used it to escape Covenant when Soulblighter leveled the city twelve years ago, and today we hope it will help us elude The Watcher.

    -Myth TFL, Level 5, "Flight From Covenant"

    Nearby Events:

  • Iri Treks Around Covenant

    2468 AE. The Dwarf Iri treks for three days straight on his way to Covenant.

    2468 AE, three days before Bahl'al's army reaches Tyr. An army of Thrall approaches Tyr.

    "...Bahl'al spurred his army onward with a blistering wind. Three full days before his army arrived... the citizens of Tyr knew their doom lumbered nearer with each passing hour..."

    -Thrall Flavor Text, Myth II

    Nearby Events:

  • Battle for Tyr, The

    2468 AE. The Watcher and the Deceiver both enter Tyr and begin to sack the old city, but then they encounter eachother and clash. The Deceiver bests the Watcher, who barely survives.

    I don't know why [The Watcher] attacked The Deceiver, unless somehow he found out what was going on in Silvermines. One of the veterans said that these two had it out after the battle for Tyr, twelve years ago, and that The Watcher barely survived. I have a feeling the real reasons for what happened today go back even farther than that.

    -Myth TFL, Level 13, "Seven Gates"

    Nearby Events:

  • Deceiver Digs Up Silvermines

    Summer, 2479 AE. The Deceiver begins digging up Silvermines, looking for the Watcher's arm.

    We know The Deceiver is looking for the arm too, and has been digging up Silvermines since last summer.

    -Myth TFL, Level 11, "Silvermines"

  • Avon's Grove Destroyed

    Circa 2480 AE. Phelot, a Shade, decimates Avon's Grove, turning its inhabitants into Thrall.

    "...those that Phelot deemed unsuitable for use as thrall... were given to the ghols, who hacked their limbs and chewed their flesh... this is how he dealt with the people of Avon's Grove."

    -Shade Flavor Text, Myth II

    I have yet to mention our jailor. It is the devil Phelot, the shade who decimated Avon's Grove during the Great War. It is a wonder he has not yet sought vengeance upon us, as he was sorely injured by The Deceiver upon our arrival.

    -Myth II, Level 20, "A Murder Of Crows"

    Nearby Events:

  • Shiver Begins Attacking Madrigal

    Monday August 1st, 2480 AE. Shiver begins attacking Madrigal.

    Shiver, one of the Fallen Lords, has been attacking the city for two days, but so far has been held back by its defenders. We all know the battle for Madrigal will decide the fate of all the Northern lands, and that if it falls we will soon have nowhere to retreat but the ocean.

    -Myth TFL, Level 1, "Crow's Bridge"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Defends Crow's Bridge

    Wednesday August 3, 2480 AE. Fifteen men from the Legion stay and defend Crow's Bridge.

    Fearing for their safety, the villagers here pleaded with us to remain when we broke camp this morning. None of them understand yet what is happening, but they have all seen the refugees from the south, and they are frightened.

    Our officers seemed unsympathetic until the people returned with nine young pigs and ten dozen loaves of bread. Fifteen of us are to stay now, perhaps to fight boredom instead of the Fallen Lords, and watch the bridge here for two days.

    -Myth TFL, Level 1, "Crow's Bridge"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Kills Mayor of Otter Ferry

    Tuesday August 5, 2480 AE. The Mayor of Otter Ferry plans a secret meeting with the Dark, but forward elements of the Legion asassinate him first.

    Having turned back the attack on Crow's Bridge, we headed south to rejoin the Legion in another small town called Otter Ferry. On our way we met a force of our own men hurrying in the opposite direction, who gave us ill news.

    The vanguard of our army, twenty thousand men, has been camped near Otter Ferry for two days now. The mayor of that village must have guessed our plan to cross the Scamander River behind the main enemy force, and to attack them by surprise.

    Perhaps in the cowardly hope that he would be spared when the Dark sacked Madrigal, the mayor intends to betray us to the enemy. A quick death will be too good for him, but we will have time for nothing else.

    One of the locals knows of the clearing where the mayor arranged his meeting with the Dark, and will lead us there.

    -Myth TFL, Level 2, "A Traitor's Grave"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Distracts Shiver's Forces

    Friday August 8, 2480 AE. The Legion stages a diversion for Shiver's forces in the small village of Comfort, while the rest of Madrigal's army fights off Shiver herself.

    Our vanguard has crossed the Scamander unchallenged and remains hidden on the southern bank of the river. Their assault will begin two hours after midnight against Shiver's right flank, at the same time the Madrigal garrison throws open the Gate of Storms and attacks her from the front.

    But I won't be anywhere near Madrigal when this happens. An hour before the main attack a small group of men and I will head in the opposite direction and strike at the enemy camp alone, hoping to divert forces and attention from the city before the real battle begins.

    The plan is to fight our way across a bridge and into the captured village of Comfort. From there we'll locate the enemy camp and create as much of a diversion as possible.

    Every thrall that remains in the camp to deal with us is one less that our main force must hack to pieces at Madrigal.

    -Myth TFL, Level 3, "The Seige of Madrigal"

    Nearby Events:

  • Shiver Killed

    Thursday Sept 11, 2480 AE. Shiver dies in a spectacular Dream Duel with Rabican.

    I believe I have read of this in the journal. Shiver was defeated at Madrigal by her own vanity, thanks to advice given by the still living head of one of the Fallen Lords' old enemies. I wonder where the head is now; we could certainly use the help.

    -Myth II, Level 10, "Landing At White Falls"

    The battle for Madrigal lasted four days without pause. Shiver fell on the first night in a spectacular dream duel with Rabican, one of the Nine. No one expected this. We have never before challenged one of The Fallen and won.

    -Myth TFL, Level 5, "Flight From Covenant"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Searches For Total Codex

    Monday September 15, 2480 AE. The Legion enters Covenant in search of the Total Codex, and runs into the Watcher's forces.

    The Head appears to know something about everything, and now it has us looking for an artifact called the Total Codex. Its been located in the ruined city of Covenant, but the first group sent to retrieve it has not returned.

    In a few minutes Rabican himself is going to send a few of us through a World Knot to Covenant, to bring back the Codex.

    -Myth TFL, Level 4, "Homecoming"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Flees Covenant

    Monday September 15, 2480 AE. The Legion, after retrieving the Total Codex, meets up with Maurican and his men, who then flee Covenant, the Watcher tailing them all the way.

    Mauriac is on his feet now, talking to the men. We met him and a few other survivors of the first expedition hiding in a collapsed cellar a few hundred feet away from the outer wall, and joined them for a brief rest until dawn.

    Mauriac was prince regent here during King Alric's adolescence, and knows of an underground tunnel just outside the city which leads to Shoal, a village four miles away down the coast. The King's family used it to escape Covenant when Soulblighter leveled the city twelve years ago, and today we hope it will help us elude The Watcher.

    -Myth TFL, Level 5, "Flight From Covenant"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Enters Shoal

    September 17, 2480 AE. The Legion exits the secret tunnel from Covenant into Shoal.

    We were two days in that tunnel out of Covenant, The Watcher crossing above us every few hours, shaking the ground in his fury and twice nearly burying us alive. Sometime on the second day the tremors grew less distinct, and we were relieved to find nothing but rats and mosquitoes waiting for us when we reached Shoal.

    -Myth TFL, Level 6, "Force Ten From Stoneheim"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Destroys World Knot

    Friday November 7, 2480 AE. The Legion destroys a World Knot just west of the Cloudspine, as the forces of the Dark have learned to use them.

    There is a World Knot west of the Cloudspine and The Head insists that the enemy has learned to travel through the Knots. If we don't destroy this portal we might hold the mountains only to be outflanked by forces emerging from the Knot behind us.

    -Myth TFL, Level 6, "Force Ten From Stoneheim"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Defends Bagrada

    Wednesday November 12, 2480 AE. The Legion defends Fool's Traverse in Bagrada from the forces of the Deceiver.

    We're up here in the mountains to stop The Deceiver from crossing into the west before winter closes the high passes. Its already started to snow pretty hard, so we shouldn't have to be here longer than a few more days.

    -Myth TFL, Level 7, "Bagrada"

    Nearby Events:

  • Dwarves Ambush Soulless In Bagrada

    Friday November 14, 2480 AE. The Dwarves among the Legion ambush a column of a hundred Soulless in Devil's Overlook, Bagrada.

    But not all of the enemy retired ahead of the snow. For the last two hours we've watched a column of a hundred soulless, separated from their masters and obviously lost, wandering the canyons below. The dwarves are running about like delirious children. It should be a spectacular ambush.

    -Myth TFL, Level 8, "Ambush At Devil's Overlook"

    Nearby Events:

  • Five Champions Rescue Alric

    Wednesday November 19, 2480 AE. The Five Champions rescue Alric from the Deceiver's camp in the Barrier.

    It all started when The Nine learned that Alric had been captured by The Deceiver, and his army decimated. I'm not certain how they figured this out, but I'll bet The Head told them (and this was back when the Head could do no wrong).

    At the behest of the Nine, our officers chose five champions from among the Legion. They were carried over the mountains by balloon and dropped at night in the rough desert twenty miles from The Deceiver's camp.

    Their instructions were to rescue Alric by any means available, and to return him to the west. I believe that The Nine were suspicious of the circumstances surrounding Alric's capture, and wished to discover why The Head had sent him over the mountains.

    -Myth TFL, Level 9, "The Five Champions"

    Alric was interrogated by Balor during his captivity, and he learned by chance that Balor had bound each of The Fallen to himself, to ensure their obedience to his will. The Fallen draw their power through these links, and were Balor to be killed they would all be powerless. The armies of the Dark would collapse.

    -Myth TFL, Level 19, "The Road North"

    Nearby Events:

  • Alric And Companions Leave The Barrier

    Wednesday November 19, 2480 AE. The Five Champions help Alric escape from the Barrier and learn of many odd things along the way.

    Alric babbled about a suit of armor so powerful that its wearer was invulnerable to attack and tireless in battle. He claimed that it was buried somewhere in the eastern desert, and that he had been sent by The Head to retrieve it.

    They say Alric talked about The Head often, ridiculing The Nine's belief that it was one of the avatara of Connacht. Connacht was the great hero of the Wind Age, who drove the evil Moagim from the earth, and The Head claims to have been one of Connacht's closest advisors during this time.

    Once Alric even spoke of The Head's defeat by Balor, where it lost its body. But I've begun to wonder how one of the avatara of the Wind Age outlived Connacht himself by hundreds of years, to fight Balor in a battle long before the West had even heard of The Fallen Lords.

    -Myth TFL, Level 10, "Out Of The Barrier"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Searches Silvermines For Watcher's Arm

    Wednesday November 19, 2480 AE. The Legion searches Silvermines for the Watcher's arm, as the Deceiver has been searching for it there for over a year and may have just uncovered it.

    The old stories all tell that when Balor freed The Watcher from his prison under the Cloudspine, one arm was left trapped in his prison of solid rock. Bound by a powerful confinement dream, it should have remained there forever. But it didn't.

    We're a hundred miles from Bagrada and two days ahead of the rest of the Legion today, outside a town called Silvermines, looking for The Watcher's arm.

    -Myth TFL, Level 11, "Silvermines"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Defends Standard

    Sunday November 30, 2480 AE. The Watcher and the Deceiver clash in Seven Gates, and the Legion sweeps in to clean up the survivors.

    But none of this concerns us. What remains of the Silvermines garrison is less than ten minutes behind us now, determined to claim the arm. We are all too exhausted to continue running, and our scouts have chosen a hill up ahead where we can make a stand.

    -Myth TFL, Level 12, "Shadow of the Mountain"

    Nearby Events:

  • Watcher and Deceiver Clash In Seven Gates

    Sunday December 7, 2480 AE. The Watcher and the Deceiver clash in Seven Gates, and the Legion sweeps in to clean up the survivors.

    The Watcher drove his army without rest through the fleeing remnants of Rabican's forces and into Seven Gates. We are there now, inside the pass, where he then clashed with The Deceiver on his way east. The bodies of the undead are everywhere, melted and broken. It seems inconceivable that anything could have survived.

    I don't know why he attacked The Deceiver, unless somehow he found out what was going on in Silvermines. One of the veterans said that these two had it out after the battle for Tyr, twelve years ago, and that The Watcher barely survived. I have a feeling the real reasons for what happened today go back even farther than that.

    Whatever the case, while the battle raged only a few miles away and we thought The Watcher was coming for us next, I was glad nobody had asked me to carry his damned arm.

    It looks like the volcano will keep Seven Gates open through the winter, so Maeldun is sending out patrols to retake the pass. The Legion's growing fame seems to draw danger like a bright candle attracts moths, and if any of the enemy survived the floods and fighting I'm sure we'll be the ones to find them.

    -Myth TFL, Level 13, "Seven Gates"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Enlists Forest Giants

    Tuesday May 19, 2481 AE. The Legion, with Murgen and Cu Roi, travel to Forest Heart to enlist the aid of the Forest Giants.

    The Legion is here alone, camped on the edge of Forest Heart and dangerously far into the territory of the enemy. Two of the Nine are with us, Cu Roi and Murgen, trying to make contact with the forest giants who live in this place, to beg their help against the Dark.

    -Myth TFL, Level 14, "Forest Heart"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Trapped In Tain

    Tuesday May 19, 2481 AE. Soulblighter traps the Legion in the Tain.

    I do not understand what has happened.

    Falling back before two myrmidons in Forest Heart, I was enveloped by a greenish haze which tore me from the earth. Now I find myself here, in a vast underground cavern with many of my comrades. We have been unable to find any way to the surface.

    Murgen believes us to be trapped inside the Tain, a relic forged by the Smiths of Muirthemne during the Wind Age. Soon after its construction, the Tain was taken from Muirthemne by raiding barbarians from the south, and believed to be lost forever.

    But they say that the darkest artifacts have the ability to bend men to their will. . .

    -Myth TFL, Level 15, "Heart of the Stone"

    Nearby Events:

  • Legion Escapes Tain

    Tuesday May 19, 2481 AE. The Legion finds a secret exit from the Tain.

    Murgen believes that we are close to finding a backdoor. A secret exit from the Tain added by its creators so they could escape the thing if it were ever used against them. It will be hidden, of course, and almost certainly protected by traps, but it is our only chance of escape.

    These caves are so vast that we've been able to locate less than fifty of the four thousand men we suspect are imprisoned with us. Murgen hopes that he can release the others after we have escaped, by destroying the Tain at the exit.

    -Myth TFL, Level 16, "Smiths Of Muirthemne"

    Nearby Events:

  • Head Involved In Civil War; Deceiver Crosses Cloudspine

    May 23, 2481 AE. The Legion learns that The Head and The Nine have become involved in a civil war in Magridal, Maeldun has lost Bagrada, and The Deceiver crossed the Cloudspine at the Stair of Grief.

    Messengers reached us today saying that Maeldun has lost Bagrada and that The Deceiver crossed the mountains at the Stair of Grief. Worst of all, what's left of the Nine had it out with The Head, which had apparently been double-crossing them ever since they pulled it out of the ground last summer.

    Something like a civil war erupted back west, too, as thousands of our own men unexpectedly rose to defend The Head. Two of The Nine were killed, which makes them something like The Three now, if you also subtract Murgen and Cu Roi, who did not escape the destruction of the Tain, and the others who have died this year.

    -Myth TFL, Level 17, "Sons of Myrgard"

    Nearby Events:

  • Dwarves Assault Myrgard

    Sunday May 23, 2481 AE. After escaping the Tain and fleeing east, the Dwarves among the Legion head into their Ghol-occupied capital of Myrgard

    This far east, the dwarves with us are closer to their occupied homelands than any of their race has been in fifty years. Not expecting to return, many of them have decided to give up their lives rather than abandon their country once again to the Ghols who have overrun it.

    -Myth TFL, Level 17, "Sons Of Myrgards"

    Nearby Events:

  • Dwarves Destroy Ghol Godhead

    Tuesday May 24, 2481 AE. Within Myrgard, the Dwarves led by Balin seek out and destroy the godhead of their ancient enemies, the Ghols.

    Led by their pathfinder, Balin, the dwarves landed in the midst of a sea of Ghols and laid waste to them with grenades and satchel charges. But the enemy boiled like ants from their burrows in the mountain, and each one that was killed seemed to be replaced by two others.

    Yet at last the attacks ceased, and the dwarves found themselves masters of the bloody patch of ground where they had taken their stand. Bodies and pieces of bodies lay everywhere.

    A swift council followed their unexpected victory, and the survivors resolved to locate the Ghol's ancestral stone godhead and blast it to fragments. The Ghols have worshipped this enormous piece of unworked stone since the birth of their race, rolling its hundred tons wherever their migrations have taken them.

    The continued presence of the Ghol's idol at Myrgard is a blasphemy, and to destroy it would be to spit in the face of their entire race.

    -Myth TFL, Level 18, "A Long Awaited Party"

    "...turning the godhead of the ghols into a monument to Balin's victory. Nothing else has done more to sustain the mutual hatred since the ghols raided the crypt at Myrgard for 'victuals'."

  • Legion Heads North

    Monday June 15, 2481 AE. Alric convinces the Legion that the west is lost, and the only hope of saving humanity is to head north to the Trow city of Rhi'Anon, to kill Balor.

    Back in Forest Heart, Alric convinced our officers that the west was lost. That our small force could contribute nothing to the hopeless battles that would soon be fought around Madrigal, Willow and Tandem. These cities would fall, he said, and all their people would die, whether we sacrificed ourselves or not.

    Then he told us what we could do instead.

    Alric was interrogated by Balor during his captivity, and he learned by chance that Balor had bound each of The Fallen to himself, to ensure their obedience to his will. The Fallen draw their power through these links, and were Balor to be killed they would all be powerless. The armies of the Dark would collapse.

    So Balor must fall. But today we are only at the edge of the Dire Marsh, nearly five hundred miles from his fortress, with The Watcher waiting in ambush ahead and Soulblighter shadowing us from behind. We have a long road before us.

    Nearby Events:

  • Soulblighter Engages Legion's Rearguard

    June 22, eighteen years into the War in the West. Soulblighter begins attacking the Legion's rearguard.

    The Legion has reached the Gjol, the poisoned river which feeds the Dire Marsh. Soulblighter has been continuously engaging our rearguard for the last two days. Between this and The Watcher's many ambushes along the way, it seems as if the two Fallen are racing to see which can destroy us first.

    -Myth TFL, Level 20, "Across the Gjol"

    Nearby Events:

  • Soulblighter Held At Gjol

    Wednesday June 24, 2481 AE. The Legion springs their trap on the Watcher, turning him to stone by arrows made with bone from his own arm. Meanwhile, their rearguard holds off Soulblighter's persuing forces at the Gjol.

    The Legion has reached the Gjol, the poisoned river which feeds the Dire Marsh. Soulblighter has been continuously engaging our rearguard for the last two days. Between this and The Watcher's many ambushes along the way, it seems as if the two Fallen are racing to see which can destroy us first.

    We will cross the river at midnight, but leave a number of men in ambush for Soulblighter when he tries to follow. Alric intends to hit The Watcher while Soulblighter is delayed, and then flee north before either can force a decisive battle.

    -Myth TFL, Level 20, "Across The Gjol"

    After weeks of shadowing us, Soulblighter's army vanished after the battle on the Gjol. He's certain to show up again soon, but meanwhile its given us a welcome rest from fighting.

  • Watcher Killed

    Thursday June 25, 2481 AE. The Watcher, having been turned to stone by arrows made with bone from his own arm, is shattered into fragments in his camp in the Dire Marsh by one hundred Berserks from the Legion.

    We held Soulblighter at the Gjol long enough to let Alric spring his trap on The Watcher. Turned out I was right about those arrows: Alric had been working on them since we entered the marsh two weeks ago, and they were tipped with fragments of bone from The Watcher's arm.

    I sure wouldn't have wanted to get stuck with one, but apparently they turned The Watcher into stone, leaving him paralyzed and helpless.

    But he didn't die. Thirty berserks chosen to accompany the archers tore through the enemy and piled the bodies of the dead at The Watcher's feet, but all were killed before they could deliver the final blow.

    Rather than leave such a dangerous enemy behind us to be rescued, a hundred men have volunteered to return and smash him to fragments before help can arrive.

    Alric has been busy again, hardly sleeping I'm told, planning for the coming battle. A single berserk reached us yesterday, after having come all the way over the mountains from the city of Willow, fourteen hundred miles away. He delivered to Alric a single package the size of a man's fist, wrapped in rags, and refuses to talk with anyone about events in the west.

    A small group of us are going into the city ahead of the main force tomorrow, to secure a bridge which Alric fears the enemy would destroy if we attacked in force. Once it has been secured, the Legion will follow.

    Tuesday July 21, 2481 AE. Alric opens a World Knot into Rhi'Anon and brings through a force to kill Balor, while the rest of the Legion prepares to assault the front of the fortress in an effort to distract Balor's army. The Journal Writer learns that Madrigal has fallen.

    In four hours, just after sunrise, the twenty-two hundred survivors of the Legion will attack Balor's fortress. Those men will surely die. There are perhaps half a million of the enemy between here and the stronghold.

    Alric left at dusk, alone. The old maps, he says, all show a World Knot in Rhi'anon, though it has never been used in our time. He intends to find it and bring through a hundred picked men to a point he believes will be almost on top of the fortress. From there we go after Balor.

    Alric's plan is a mad one.

    One of the many strange things we found while trapped inside the Tain was the shredded battle standard of that long dead race of evil creatures called the Myrkridia.

    [ . . . ]

    Alric intends to approach within a hundred yards of the fortress, and raise the Myrkridian standard. Because of Balor's old enmity toward the Myrkridia, Alric is certain that this will so enrage Balor that he will come to deal with us himself.

    One man said he was tending his livestock when he saw the [Ghasts] spill out from an overgrown trail that leads to an ancient nearby cemetery. Another villager, a small girl not yet old enough for the fields, said that she had seen brigands take her father and a few others in the direction of that trail.

    Cruniac immediately sent scouts to scour the area near the trail for the missing villagers. They returned just before sundown to tell us there were some men holding captives at the cemetery. Upon hearing the news, the survivors begged us to help free their kinsmen.

When questioned, he offered us little, save that he had important information about the recent grave robberies.

    The master of this castle is Baron Kildaer. We were joined at Tallow by reinforcements to attack the Baron's stronghold and put an end to his unwholesome trade in human remains.

    We watched in helpless silence as a massive army of Thrall, ten abreast and a hundred deep, marched out of the main gate heading south. Cruniac fears their destination is Tallow and has sent a runner to warn the town.

Cruniac has sent in a small group of men to hunt down the baron. He has positioned men at the main entrance to the keep in case the Baron manages to get past them. If the Baron tries to leave through this entrance he will be killed where he stands. Should he make it to one of the secret exits though, I doubt we would be able to find him in this wild land.

    Cruniac's last words were of the bravery of the color guard, who had given their lives trying to save him even as Soulblighter had delivered the killing blow.

    [ . . . ]

    All of us agree we must reach Madrigal and King Alric soon. But it would take months to get to Madrigal on foot. Garrick believes there is a World Knot directly west of us on the other side of the Cloudspine. Although it was destroyed during the Great War, the Dwarves seem confident they will be able to repair it. This I will have to see for myself.

    As we were breaking camp, Garrick handed me a journal he had recovered from Cruniac's belongings. The commander must have taken it from one of the Baron's libraries.

    What significance it may have had to Cruniac I do not know, other than it appears to have been written by a man who served in the Legion during the Great War.

Although The Deceiver fought alongside Balor during the last war, he held no great love for the rest of The Fallen, nearly being killed by The Watcher in a legendary battle at Seven Gates.

    The Deceiver claims to be held in high regard by the Trow as a being of "furor poeticus". He has told us of their battles against the Myrkridia and believes he can win the Trow to our cause.

    Apparently the Trow are not convinced that our race is worth fighting for, but they have agreed to do battle with Soulblighter for one year if we can defeat them in a game of their devising. The Trow have placed six flags on the field and, if we can control the majority at the end of a period of time that they deem fair, they will assist us.

    Our scouts have returned from the city proper bearing grim news. The shade Herod and a great number of fetch and Myrkridia are occupying the old armory, just inside the city walls.

The journeymen, after a hundred years of self-imposed penance for being absent during the fall of the city, threw down the gold tiles that hung around their necks and swore fealty to the new Emperor.

    The Deceiver dropped us in the middle of Soulblighter's camp, hoping to attack him by surprise. King Alric said nothing of a sneak attack before we left Muirthemne - it is obvious The Deceiver was acting on his own. We were captured instantly and thrown into rude cells with other prisoners from some unsung battle in the west. The Deceiver was caught in the claw of some elemental beast commanded by Soulblighter, but not before he had struck down more than a dozen of the enemy with his magic.

There are veritable mountains of satchel charges, sagging under their own weight, presumably brought down from Stoneheim. The putrid carcasses of wights, harvested for their baneful polyps and tumors, are strewn everywhere.

The sight of Alric hacking his way through the enemy, Balmung flashing in his hand, caused many of our own men to stand aside in awe.

    If it were anyone other than Soulblighter, I am sure we would just wait outside the volcano until they had been roasted alive or had succumbed to the poisonous vapors. Unfortunately, he has survived worse, and we must follow him.

    The Fallen Lords are dead and the Dark has fled the land. Now we return to the difficult task of rebuilding. It will take many years to restore our cities and recover our farmlands and this time, we will remain vigilant.

    I have chosen to follow the Emperor and his Heron Guard back to Muirthemne - there is nothing left for me in Strand, the place of my birth.

    I have become fast friends with Nine Skull Crocodile, the man who has healed the many wounds I received during the assault on Tharsis. He is ancient, even by Heron standards, and speaking with him has given me some insight into what has happened to our world.
