[!] A mass of missives are dispersed across Aevos, so that none would be ignorant of what was done.
To the accomplices of the so-called ‘Riftmakers Association’, known consorts of Iblees’ kind; vile warlocks, doomsday necromancers, demonic scourge - those who claw at monstrous power that would stop at nothing to further unsettle the equilibrium of light and dark - know this: You are anathema to morality, and you shall pay the ultimate price for it.
In 1984, an alliance of descendants snuffed out the abominable project of the Riftmakers Association; a tear of immense proportion that if left unchecked would have posed dire consequences for not just the surrounding land, but the continent itself. Rallying together a force of Canonists, Norlanders, Templars, Druids, Nevaehlenites, and Magi of Hohkmat, the tear was obliterated.
A years’ worth of effort produced cannon-bores and cannonballs, forges burning from sunset to sundown for spears and steed-armour. Apothecaries laboured tirelessly to concoct boons for every last edge possible in the first step of this war effort. Even the Druii mustered their finest to restore the balance on this day.
The conflict did not last long, owing to the overwhelming firepower levied against the ruinous forces. One-by-one the enemy would be felled as the battlefield was plunged into a sea of fire, spells, crossbow-bolts, and potion-blight. Even with a cameo from the Red Lich himself, alongside an emerging half-formed Horror, our forces persevered, broke through their guard, and slaughtered the routed apostates. The craven amongst them fled only to be cut down like rats.
The Druii took point once the battle was over, marshalling their power to cordon off and seal the devastating wave that would follow the tear’s destruction, rendering it all but inert. Once the last of them had moved from the firing line, Norland rolled forth her mighty battery of cannons, unleashing a thunderous rain of ammunition that sent the tear sinking in on itself.
What remains is a small, insignificant hollow that will soon follow its predecessor in ceasing to exist. Let the dark smile, jeer and taunt in their immortality. Let them flaunt their lack of humanity. They will scheme, and they will crawl into the light, time and time again, sometimes joined by mortal allies - but it will not matter. They and their masters will share the same damned fate: total and indiscriminate annihilation.
I extend sincere thanks to all who answered the call for aid; to those who set aside their differences to fight harmoniously alongside unexpected allies, under my unexpected leadership. Should the need once more arise to stand against the long dark, I pray that you shall again take up arms in our shared struggle.
