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.

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: Legion Kills Mayor of Otter Ferry Shiver Killed Legion Searches For Total Codex

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.

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. Passages From The Game: 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 Flees Covenant Legion Enters Shoal Legion Defends Bagrada

Legion Defends Bagrada Wednesday November 12, 2480 AE. The Legion defends Fool's Traverse in Bagrada from the forces of the Deceiver. Passages From The Game: 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: Legion Destroys World Knot Dwarves Ambush Soulless In Bagrada

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. Passages From The Game: 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: Legion Defends Bagrada Five Champions Rescue Alric

Five Champions Rescue Alric Wednesday November 19, 2480 AE. The Five Champions rescue Alric from the Deceiver's camp in the Barrier. Passages From The Game: 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: Dwarves Ambush Soulless In Bagrada Alric And Companions Leave Barrier

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. Passages From The Game: 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: Five Champions Rescue Alric Legion Searches Silvermines For Watcher's Arm

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. Passages From The Game: 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: Alric And Companions Leave Barrier Legion Defends Standard

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. Passages From The Game: 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: Legion Searches Silvermines For Watcher's Arm Watcher and Deceiver Clash In Seven Gates

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. Passages From The Game: 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 Defends Standard Legion Enlists Forest Giants

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. Passages From The Game: 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: Watcher and Deceiver Clash In Seven Gates Legion Trapped In Tain

Legion Trapped In Tain Tuesday May 19, 2481 AE. Soulblighter traps the Legion in the Tain. Passages From The Game: 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 Enlists Forest Giants Legion Escapes Tain

Legion Escapes Tain Tuesday May 19, 2481 AE. The Legion finds a secret exit from the Tain. Passages From The Game: 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: Legion Trapped In Tain Head Involved In Civil War; Deceiver Crosses Cloudspine Dwarves Assault Myrgard

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 , and The Deceiver crossed the Cloudspine at the Stair of Grief. Passages From The Game: 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: Legion Trapped In Tain Legion Escapes Tain

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 Passages From The Game: 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: Legion Escapes Tain Dwarves Destroy Ghol Godhead

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. Passages From The Game: 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'." -Dwarf Flavor Text, Myth II Nearby Events: Dwarves Assault Myrgard Legion Heads North

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. Passages From The Game: 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. -Myth TFL, Level 19, "The Road North" Nearby Events: Dwarves Destroy Ghol Godhead Soulblighter Engages Legion's Rearguard Soulblighter Held At Gjol

Soulblighter Engages Legion's Rearguard June 22, eighteen years into the War in the West. Soulblighter begins attacking the Legion's rearguard. Passages From The Game: 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: Dwarves Destroy Ghol Godhead Soulblighter Held At Gjol

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. Passages From The Game: 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. -Myth TFL, Level 22, "River of Blood" Nearby Events: Legion Heads North Soulblighter Engages Legion's Rearguard Watcher Killed

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. Passages From The Game: 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. -Myth TFL, Level 21, "The Watcher" Nearby Events: Soulblighter Held At Gjol Legion Secures Bridge In Rhi'Anon

Legion Secures Bridge In Rhi'Anon Monday July 20, 2481 AE. The Legion enters Rhi'Anon and therein secures an important bridge. Alric recieves an Eblis Stone through a Berserk courier from Willow. Passages From The Game: 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. -Myth TFL, Level 22, "River Of Blood" Nearby Events: Watcher Killed Legion Learns Madrigal Has Fallen Alric Approaches Fortress

Legion Learns Madrigal Has Fallen July 21, 2481 AE. Alric informs the Legion that Madrigal has fallen. Passages From The Game: Before he left, Alric told us that Madrigal had fallen. -Myth TFL, Level 23, "Pools of Iron" Nearby Events: Watcher Killed Alric Approaches Fortress

Alric Approaches Fortress 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. Passages From The Game: 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 R
