The sounds began in the early day. Most of the inhabitants of the small elven town were still asleep, but the sounds of the reformed Demones Manor certainly all who still lived and worked in village. The fires up on the hill were burning once more, and two Harbingers stood, watching over the few slaves who worked the night shift. Fires were being stoked, and workers levied. The forces of Setherien were moving.
The strange sickness of the land, emanating from the corrupted manor, had been spreading out over the last few Elven days. Bit by bit, inch by inch, like tentacles from a giant beast it had spread upon the land of the elves, tainting it and changing it to the will of the North.
Now, with an increased pace, it began to move. Into the town, past the armored Harbingers standing by. The first one, in garb of black and gold, spoke.
"Brother Kaernk... shall we begin?"
The second, a reddened Harbinger with a cold air about him, spoke up.
"Indeed."
The two began shrieking orders to slaves and cultists alike, motioning to the town. Within the next few hours, the slaves were already hard at work at the first of the shops in the secluded elven town. Wood, stone, metal, all these items were taken and brought back to the manor. They came out quite differently. The wood was used for fuel, the stone used for ammunition, the metal used for the armor and weapons of war.
"Finally, this town shall be of some use... they shall live in the slave pens... for workers under His will do not need this..."
The golden Harbinger pulls at a flower, crushing it beneath his gauntlet.
"Such is not the will of Him... such is not the will of Chaos..."
"We shall use this place to our advantage, and then make it our own... for certain."
"Yes..."
The homes begin to fall, the trees begin to burn in the furnaces of the manor. And in the town itself... the corruption begins to take a new form. A strange shape begins to appear... but what it is... none can truly tell yet.
