A Song of Shadow
-
A scripture was pulled from belly of the North Sands detailing a Black Triad, men of faith who turned from the path of light to that of darkness, and given the power to rule.
Fear, Pain and Wealth is shown to be the true way to control the masses - he believes we are the Chosen of this movement having cut down a demon wrought in flame and shadow to prove himself worthy, the Prince empowered.
Further clue and whisper shall be hunted for across the realm.

Kural,
You will investigate this path to power, and if it shows promise it shall be a weapon we weild against Karim.
Khemed
I'm quitting Barabus Fen, he was a character I made for the election and in retrospect I should have quit him after the result as you can only wander around insulting Verks clergy robes for so long before it gets old.

Hark, Master Khemed, for the cosmos whispers urgent messages upon the winds of fate. The celestial bodies align to caution you: the journey into the abyss of another's will is fraught with peril. To devote thy spirit to the enigmatic wraith of shadows is to walk the path of Karim, a marionette ensnared by his shadowy puppeteer.
Tarry not upon this treacherous road; it is your birthright to illuminate the world and inspire those around you. The heavens sing of your destiny; to be a beacon, not a vassal to the dark. To tread this ominous path shall but fracture the bonds we have so carefully woven and imperil the legion destined to confront Karim's encroaching darkness. Listen well to the starry omens, and hold steadfast to the brilliance that is your true calling.
How might the heart, tethered to another's essence, unfurl its full devotion in service to you? For the stars align not for the divided spirit, but for the soul that stands unbound, radiant in its singular purpose.
Stars guide you.

Control, with a hand around the throat, is the way to crush those who stand before you.
Kural stood firm against an agent of the dark, wrought in flame and ash, and calmed the North Sands of terror.
He has been chosen by the fates to establish this new form of rule, and he will see the Maggot Prince weeping on bended knee before him in his Church

Beware the seductive whisper of power, for it beckons with the allure of shadows. This perilous road, often walked by our adversaries, is fraught with treachery and deceit. Should we strive to serve but one sovereign, let us not be swayed by fleeting ambitions that lead us into the depths of darkness. Attend to the celestial omens, for the stars cry out their sage counsel: resist the chains of temptation that bind the soul. Embrace instead the light of unwavering devotion to our Master and stand firm against the night that seeks to ensnare Ashkara.
Stars guide you.
Ya look like Gelfling... [sniffs] SMELL like Gelfling... [sniffs] maybe y'ARE Gelfling!

In the ever-turning cosmos, the whispers of this elusive tome reverberate through the hearts of many mortals, igniting an insatiable yearning for the truths it cloaks within its pages. The stars themselves weave a tapestry of caution, murmuring of its enigmatic essence and the shadows it may conjure.
We seek to draw it forth into the celestial star light, to cast our gaze upon its mysteries and discern the perils it harbors. Perhaps it holds the key to the intricate paths once tread by the Warlock of Shadows and Darkness Intertwined; a tantalizing hypothesis, yet one fraught with uncertainty.
Yet heed this cosmic warning: to delve into the very threads of this tome may invite calamity, for such an exploration carries the weight of destruction entwined within its rite. Let us tread lightly, for the cosmos may not look kindly upon those who dare to unravel its secrets. The choice is yours, if you wish these paths explored.
May the stars guide us.
