[centre][color=black][i][b]Grandmaster Thulemiz, Son of the Celestial Above, Champion of Chaos, Lich Lord Level 30 Hero, 37 Khookies[/b][/i][/color][/centre] Thulemiz did not reply until he had led Kanros into the library and sat him down. All around them, bookshelves were disappearing and entire rows of tomes. The Silent Six, barring Greyus, were hard at work transporting the precious content of the library to Sviebard where it would be safe from the their enemies. Levitating in a rather intimidating manner above Kanros, he began explaining the situation. [color=black][i][b]'This raging war began with the Chaotic One. He demanded the defeat of the warlord Ialu, and in exchange he promised to lift the Night of Nightmares which had fallen over the world with the burning down of Orabil, Vowzra's tree of light, which kept the darkness at bay,'[/b][/i][/color] as he spoke into Kanros' very mind, snippets of the events which had transpired floated into the demigod's mind. Kanros would be able to see with clarity Sauranath's burning down of Orabil and the return of the darkness. He would see the meeting of the gods and the weakness which Zerabil experienced thereafter. And he would also see the coming of Vestec to the weakened Zerabil, how Vestec retired to him his power and might and commanded him and the Victors to attack Ialu. [color=black][i][b]'The Chaotic One gave us his word that should the warlord Ialu be defeated, and should I, Thulemiz, be in Garakai king, then the darkness will be removed forevermore. That is why we marched against them, and that is how the warlord managed to ambush the Army of the Southern Realm of Man and crushed it utterly at the Battle of Man's Fall. Many men and women fell that day,'[/b][/i][/color] Kanros would be able to see, now, the horrors of that terrible battle. The vision would be see real he might even feel himself slightly empowered by Thulemiz's memory. [color=black][i][b]'And then the Fiery One, the Lord of the Forge, commanded us to seize a certain weapon in the warlord's possession. In return, he will create out of our Battle Brother, Rejys, a being suited for war and battle. Even now our Silent Brother Greyus watches the warlord for any sign of the weapon. He believes he has found it - it is in the shape of a sceptre of some kind,'[/b][/i][/color] Thulemiz paused and looked around at the now empty library. [color=black][i][b]'We must take possession of that sceptre, and we must march upon Garakai and take possession of that too, even if briefly,'[/b][/i][/color] and with that he turned away from Kanros and continued his mental speech. [color=black][i][b]'The plan is simple enough. Our Silent Brother Greyus has informed us that the warlord has struck up an alliance with the Great Reptile, Sauaranath. He has at his command a force of thousands of skeletal dragons,'[/b][/i][/color] he turned around and floated higher, [color=black][i][b]'it is I, the Great Lich Lord, who rules over the dead. It is the Silent Six who are the great necromancers and commanders of the dead. It is not Ialu or any measly dragon. We shall bend those skeletal dragons to our will, and we shall turn them against the warlord and his forces,'[/b][/i][/color] he floated ever higher, until he was just beside the great chandelier in the dome of the library, which he then started orbiting. [color=black][i][b]'You will then take on the warlord while the Silent Six and I command the dragons. Once that is done, I will come and face Ialu alongside you, and we shall seize from him the weapon before taking our forces and retreating to Garakai. There will our quests be complete. There will you and I part ways, if you so wish, or there you may renew your vow to me and come to the far off lands of the Icy One where we shall forge an empire to spread death across the world.'[/b][/i][/color] With that, Thulemiz descended and levitated once more before Kanros.
