A Darkness is coming and we must be prepared!
-
Holy Ser Edward Bronislav I would sit down at his desk within the Cathedral of Saint Humbert as he looks over his newest reports from his Holy Rangers and Knights. The news was not good, as the races squabbled with each other while a more sinister problem was slowly arizing. First Adelburg… then Kal'Omith, then the Dragur Library, and then Santeria… the beings seemed to have gained support aswell from the crazed Aengul. “This is troublesome indeed…” he’d say as he calls over his master scribe, saying “I need a favor from you old friend… have your group get to work on creating pamphlets which are to be sent to all the human settlements.” The master scribe would look him over with curiosity and suspicion “And what am I to say Ser?” Holy Ser Edward Bronislav I would hesitate for a few seconds before speaking once more, “Tell them.. a darkness is coming… and the Church will need Holy Knights and rangers…” He would pause once more “Say… they are to be true of heart and strong in faith.” With that, the scribe got to work sending pamphlets across the North and the farthest human settlements South. Whilst Holy Ser Edward Bronislav I delved over the problem at hand.
