“It’s magnificent, my Lord.” One of the Chosen said as she stood beside Anak’thas. Both of them, and more Chosen as well, looked at the beautiful building that crawled itself out of the ground. It was made from the whitest stone in existence. Its edges were pristine. It was surrounded by a pristinely kept garden. On the east side of it were a few greenhouses in which incense could grow. Together with other plants that would put the average human being into a trancelike state. A wonderous garden with winding paths and even a serene orchard was on the west side. Behind it, to the north, was a graveyard filled with underground tombs. Ready to receive the charge of the place.

The building’s insides were filled with large half-circle halls filled with raised benches. The acoustics were divine within. Each hall, small and big alike, was ready to receive its effigy and the choir that would imbue it.

“You should count yourself lucky to see it.” The Chosen, Anak’thas knew her name was Selora but never acknowledged her by that name, sneered at the demi-human put in chains beside her. “This is what the Verdant Realms would bring to all lands. If only you’d respect a speck of civility.”

Anak’thas did not share Selora’s disdain for the Foxman. However, he understood why she was so hard. After all, a few days ago she begged him to head for node 10 and conquer it. Her family were settlers in the north of Node 14 and raiders had taken them. She wasn’t sure if they were taken as slaves or slain somewhere along the way. The uncertainty had developed into a bitter hatred.

The beastman had served its purpose really. He told Anak about the soul magic that was developing within the Daman Lands. The god did not wish to take more from his people than their faith. But Benea and Dzallitsunya were forcing his hand.

“There is still the Dusk Goddess’ message.” Another Chosen said. “She has been pressing. Efforts to sabotage her reign in Telum’Velik continue but it would appear that she has employed some Shadow to work against such things. My Lord… You should make your will known.”

Of course the Chosen would push for war. He made them to fight. They helped him now in Node 15 and 16 against the Chaos Monsters. It only made them realize just how hungry they were for a fight. And if his Chosen were this willing to fight, he could not imagine how the Dawnblades must be back in Tanaäth.

[color=fff200]“Soon.”[/color] Anak’thas said. [color=fff200]“Soon we’ll move.”[/color]

“And the message?” His Chosen asked.

[hider=Message]
Return Node 13 to me or suffer the consequences.
[/hider]
The Lantern-God summoned a ball that contained the message in his hand and let it fly. [color=fff200]“It is answered.”[/color]

[hider=Summary]Anak’thas and his Chosen are looking as the Chorus is built before them. It’s a large, white-stone building that is absolutely pristine. Inside there is place for many choirs to sing for their effigies (see: MP section). They have a demi-human prisoner with them.

The god ruminates about the tense situation and how his fighters are itching for the big fight. He decides to finally answer Tsunya’s message.

(offscreen he also took node 16 and 17)[/hider]
[hider=MP]Anak’thas start: 0MP
+2 MP >> Completed the remaining 2 Quiz sections
+1 MP >> Crappy drawing

-3 MP >> Creating the Chorus – A large, white building in which mortals can use soul magic to imbue an effigy with magical power. The effigies can then be used to power specialized constructs that will be constructed later.

Because soul magic only works if you stepped foot in the Daman lands this will also cause pilgrimages to happen towards the Daman Lands.

[hider=Node biomes]
Node 15 – Anak’thas continues on with his theme of a prosperous, verdant land. To the north there is  a mountain range that seals of the land from dangers coming from the Daman Lands. The shores to the east is filled with tall cliffs making living near the coast rather futile. The inner lands are dominated by gentle, green hills. The coast to the south-east is made of pearl-white sand. However, unlike Tanaäth this realm is more blessed. Graceful, cream-furred lions hunt in the northern mountains. While wonderous, white steeds roam the hillsides. Fragrant incense that sends mortals in a trance can be found in the wild here.

Node 16 – This node has been made with great aspirations. It is circled from the east, south and west by steep cliffs that go higher and higher the closer you get to the node itself. However, all around it stone is floating. On these stones crystals of all sorts of colors grow.

Both nodes are beautiful, sun-kissed lands.
