Clans of the Thicket

The Clans of the Thicket are a semi-recognised nation within the True Kingdom of Arman. In truth, they are more like an organised bandit group. Their current leader is Bramble the Brutal. They operate out of the Chaparral, a large stone fort built into the mountains south of Arman City.

The Thickets are a cruel folk whose only interests are killing and pillaging innocent villages. They are known to kill any adults they come across, inducting their children into the Thicket society.

The Clans of the Thicket can trace their origins to over 100 years into the past, when they broke away from the Kingdom of Arman. They were not involved or were harmed by the events of The Enmity. There was however a large influx of new recruits due to many orphaned children.

Thickets worship the goddess of life and death Pharasma. This was put in place by the previous Head Thicket, Faobrosh the Barber.

## Current Thickets

Bramble the Brutal - Current Head Thicket

Grimtooth Axebeard - Second in Command

## Sabre of Meitor Campaign

### The Black Speech

Just before the events of the Black Speech, a deserter of the Clans Cenon fled to Druin and took up a job at the Soiled Maiden Inn. However he was only there for a few weeks before he eventually caught by a figure sent to kill him. It is implied that it was Zenaxus.

### The Blood Feast

After the assassination of Aeris Rawle, Bramble the Brutal sent the Heroes of Time on a mission to the Chaparral to summon the rest of the Thickets in preparation for the Holy Conflict.

### Mutiny at the Chaparral

After the Heroes of Time arrived, Grimtooth Axebeard held an audience with Crystine the Sly and Tarquin. Choosing to stay loyal to Bramble, Grimtooth was assassinated in a coup held by Tarquin who believed that the Thickets should not be run by an outsider. Zenaxus takes command of the Thickets and they planned to betray Bramble at the proper moment.

### Fight on the Great Plain

After joining with the rest of the Armanian forces, the Thickets are engaged in a fierce fight against the armies of Count Benjen III, where the majority are slain...
Xaro

Xaro, referred to as Shadow Elder Xaro, is a prominent supporting character in the Sabre of Meitor Campaign. A member and apparent leader of the Shadowmen race, Xaro is the father of Nekro Sander, Sage Mancer and Vertan Selmi.

Apparently immortal like all other shadowmen, Xaro has claimed to have seen over 600 years, back to the time when The Demon King Meitor ruled the world

As the head of the shadowmen, Xaro has the ability to travel in time to view historical events as either spirit or fleshed form. It is unknown if Xaro can view future events as of this time.

## The Sabre of Meitor Campaign

### The Future is in the Past

Xaro shows Azrael visions of his past, but he ends up being viewed as an antagonist for helping to orchestrate the events leading to The Enmity with an unwilling and distraught Zenaxus. This is done by transporting the heroes to the Rausten Magic College in 545 UB. He equally pleads for his daughter Vertan to be unharmed despite her allegiance to the Trident Association.

### A Magical Ability

In his second confrontation with the heroes, Xaro is able to send them beyond Liken's veil to the village of Ashmarsh, a desolate cold wasteland where few lived in the year 562 UB. This time they were able to become full beings, not just spirits. He also brought back a young Raynard Olivier back with the heroes and sent him to the Magic College.

### The Trident Key

During his third meeting, he sends the heroes back to 345 UB to retrieve the Trident Key from Drew Seld. However he also caused Jiamat to distrust the heroes. He also begins to see that his daughter Vertan has been lost to the Trident Association.

### Truth

Xaro this time has his two remaining children chained up and questions the Heroes of Time on which of them to release. Before an answer can be reached, he sends them back to 5 NP, when Meitor went crazy. He was forcibly moved forward in time when a possessed Azrael kills the King of Drogna. The visit ends with Xaro striking the chains off both his son and daughter...

### Foresight

When his son Nekro summons the Heroes of Time to the Cave of Origin, Xaro relents and shows them the final pieces of the puzzle, revealing that Trident's plans have been running for decades and that it is futile to resist. When Nekro insists that Azrael's Aura Sword be powered up, he refuses and instead attacks the party. His own son impales him and Xaro finally dies...
Faobrosh the Barber

Head Thicket, 586 UB

Faobrosh the Barber was the former head of the Clans of the Thicket before his sudden death in 590 UB. He currently holds the record for the longest control of the Thickets, being the leader from 544-590 UB. He was succeeded by Bramble the Brutal.

A widely feared leader, Faobrosh gained his nickname for his use of razor blades to slice his victim's necks open. He first came to prominence in 530 UB, when he murdered his parents and defected to the Clans of the Thickets.

Faobrosh was well known for his brutish demeanour and his booming laugh. It was once said he razed an inn to the ground by laughing.

After ruling the clans for a record 46 years, Faobrosh died suddenly. Many said he died from poison, though the culprit has never been found. It is revealed during the Battle of the Oaken Staves that it was Zenaxus who poisoned him. His corpse went missing in the months after his death, and has not been seen since.

He has been responsible for the recruitment of both Grimtooth Axebeard and Zenaxus. His battle theme is Lil' Slugger Battle from Super Meat Boy.

## Sabre of Meitor Campaign

### Battle of the Oaken Staves

Despite being dead for over a decade, it appears that Faobrosh's body ended up in the possession of Luther Render of the Trident Association. How this happened is unknown. An undead Faobrosh led the Trident forces during the Battle of the Oaken Staves, though he was forced to retreat by the Heroes of Time.

### United Liken Federation Meeting

His undead body being heavily mutated by Luther, Faobrosh appeared by his master's side in Beaustrom. There Luther announced to the council the Trident Association's goal of total rule under Meitor. Isabel and Kathus Warde watched on as Luther gave details of the Fight on the Great Plain.

### Magical Mutiny

Faobrosh appears beside Luther as he attacks the Rausten Magic College for the third time in under 3 months. He takes to the air soon after the beginning of the battle. He receives the soul of his master as part of the plan to resurrect Brooke Moon after her defeat.
Lucille Basin

Lucille Basin in 565 UB

Lucille Basin is a minor supporting character in the Sabre of Meitor campaign. She is the eldest daughter of former emperor of Arman Daas 'The Swift' Basin, and the sister of his successor Carlos Basin. At a young age, she was a key political figure, using her charms to placate the masses who thought her brother was an ineffectual leader after The Enmity.

All that changed in 565 UB when a young Aeris Rawle convinced Carlos to send her away for a marriage to Count Benjen III of Aria. The marriage was political and doomed from the start. Lucille soon turned to other lovers. Upon discovery, Count Benjen sent Lucille home in disgrace, devoid of any of her possessions.

Upon return to Arman City less than 3 years later, the crowds had a new favourite, Lucille's younger and much more inept sister Lucina.

From that day onward, Lucille has shown nothing but contempt, both for her brother Carlos and for Aeris. She has since set about trying to undermine Aeris' rule; though her efforts have been unsuccessful.

Lucille was forced into marriage a second time, this time to her distant relative Serbi Zamod to avoid the shame of a bastard child. However tragedy struck on her wedding day, when her younger sister and nephew were killed in a freak accident. There are some who say that Lucille was directly involved in the incident, but this has not been proven. She has since had 4 children with Serbi before his death in 589 UB. Her children are as follows;

Tripo Zamod - Born 570 UB

Sero Zamod - Born 572 UB

Kristena Zamod - Born 575 UB

Laurena Zamod - Born 575 UB

## The Sabre of Meitor Campaign

Lucille appeared in the delegation that arrived at Requis Castle. Originally going for a celebratory dinner, Lucille was unaware that the true purpose of the trip was to arrest Crystine the Sly on charges of reportedly allowing Harry to escape prison. Expressing frustration at making a long journey for nothing, Lucille sat back as the Siege of Requis Castle took place.

### The Blood Feast

Tired from her long exertions, Lucille hesitantly arrived at the feast back in Arman Castle. Like many others, she was shocked by the broadcast from The Commander, and was unable to mount any resistance during the events that followed. In the coup, Lucille was murdered by Trident Association General Letra Musca.
Raorg

Raorg is the serpentine right hand man of Meitor. He appears as an antagonist in the Sabre of Meitor campaign.

One of the few natives of the Shadow Plane, Raorg serves as Meitor's assistant in his quest to control both the Material and Shadow Planes.

## Sabre of Meitor Campaign

### The Black Speech

When Raorg learns that some people from the Material Plane have been visiting his home in the Shadow Plane, Raorg informs his master and is sent to capture one of them.

During their third visit to the Shadow Plane, Raorg is able to capture Isabel and sent her to Meitor for interrogation.

Isabel is later rescued by the heroes, with her not yielding any clues due to being just as confused about her appearance in the Shadow Plane.

### Deception at the Diamond Bank

However unknown to most, Raorg was able to form a mental link with Isabel. This manifested as nightmares, attempting to persuade Isabel to open a portal, a power she did not possess. Although Isabel was able to dismiss this due to her kind nature, her fight with the Wuli Clan led to them opening a portal in her presence to summon a demon to kill her. Raorg saw his chance and burst into the Material Plane, exclaiming "**I AM FINALLY HERE**". He proceeds to possess Isabel temporaily and kill the Wuli sorcerers. He then flees, leaving Isabel a wanted criminal.

### Battle of Carcino Bay

Roarg leads a small contingent of undead soldiers into the massive confrontation in the walled city, whilst also riding on the back of Jiamat. He is quickly overwhelmed and slain by Azrael.
Drew Seld

At the fall of the Misel Union, 313 UB

Drew Seld is a former Commander of the Trident Association. He is remembered as not only the youngest ever Trident Commander, but the only one to commit suicide to escape the shackles of the role.

Often described as one of Trident's best commanders, Drew helped Liken to exit the Era of Decline and into the Recovery Era through his organisational skills.

## Early Life

Drew was born in the slums of Arman City. At the time, the province of Arman was under the rule of the Misel Bandit Union. The bandits imposed a tyrannical rule over the country, as they had since 220 UB.

Growing up impoverished, Drew would swear to all the gods that the bandits would be ousted. Training amongst his friends, Drew soon became proficient with swords, especially rapiers.

## Fall of the Misel Union

After nearly 100 years of rule, the Misel Union was finally brought to an end in 313 UB. By this time, Drew was a junior member of the Trident Association. He was a key member of the Misel Union's downfall, killing the head bandit himself.

This collapse caused the Misel Union to flee to their stronghold at the Chaparral, where they eventually became the Clans of the Thicket. Several members of the aristocracy tried to claim power, with ultimately the Rawle family establishing the True Kingdom of Arman.

## Rise to Trident Commander

Drew was promoted straight from a regular member to the commander of the Trident Association in 315 UB, on account of his involvement in the downfall of the Misel Union. He enacted several policies to aid the poorest members of Liken's society.

The smallfolk loved their new representative, which combined with the start of a golden age of peace across Liken caused Seld's popularity to skyrocket. It remained that way for much of his reign.

## Sudden Death

Drew Seld committed suicide in 345 UB, having just returned from an unknown mission. Many tried to determine if something had occurred on said mission, but nobody owned up to any knowledge of this mission. Seld left a note behind, which was read at his funeral to a massive crowd.

> *With the entire world at stake,*
>
>

> *My heart and soul will of course break.*
>
>

> *Though confused now, I beg you wait,*
>
>

> *For Liken's undecided fate.*
>
>

The meaning if this message has never been clear.

## Sabre of Meitor Campaign

### The Trident Key

During a trip to the past, Drew Seld is encountered outside his office at Twin Ruins. He is initially helpful to the heroes, even believing their story about the corruption of future Trident. Agreeing to help, he uses a whistle to summon Jiamat to fly to the Tropical Graveyard.

Upon arrival, he agrees that the key should be hidden, but the monster within the cave was no where to be found. Drew is then forced to hand over the key by Harry, before watching as his friend Jiamat is sealed within the cave by Harry again. The heroes then return to the present, and Drew presumably commits suicide soon after.
Marlon Sinus

High Elder Marlon before the Black Speech

Marlon Sinus is a minor character, later antagonist in the Sabre of Meitor Campaign. The third of the High Elder of Druin, he is much younger than the other two and has only been elected to High Elder in the last 5 years. He shares the post with Vallogo Desway and Tror Panuch

Marlon is notable for having suffered an accidental injury during his time as a Rausten Magic College pupil. This leaves his face slightly scarred, often giving people the impression that he has been assualted in the past. It is not uncommon for Marlon to use this to his advantage to gain sympathy for his cause.

## Sabre of Meitor Campaign

### The Black Speech

He was present at the Soul Hero celebrations when Ser Roland Osteler informed Vallogo of his younger son's demise. In the council chamber, Marlon seemed the most calm out of all those present. When Vallogo Jr. is murdered by Count Benjen III however, Marlon gets very angry alongside the other church elders.

### Battle of the Oaken Staves

When news of the attack of the Rausten Magic College by Luther Render, Marlon plays a role in persuading Vallogo Desway not to send aid, for fear of an attack on Melsa.

### The Holy Conflict

Despite being a high elder of the Theocracy, Marlon is not present during the sack of Druin. His location remains unknown.

### Magical Mutiny

It comes to light that Harry was able to find Marlon marching towards Bergahorn with an army to protect the forest nation from a Trident invasion. Although they arrive late to the battle, they are able to escort the Heroes of Time to the Tropical Graveyard. He is unable to open the gates at the graveyard before the Heroes are summoned to the Isle of the Ancients.

### Fire at the Tombstones

Upon the return of the heroes, Marlon learns that the Trident Key has been taken to an undisclosed location by Harry. Enraged, he reveals his position as the Trident 4th General and attempts to murder the heroes. He is unsuccessful, and is killed in the fight by Zenaxus.

As a Thicket, Zenaxus is able to ignore the trials, but the rest of the group suffer through them, almost dying in the process.

Once at the Chaparral, they are greeted by Grimtooth Axebeard and Tarquin. A meeting takes place in Grimtooth's quarters. Tarquin is able to remind Zenaxus of the magic seal on the assassin's floor. Using this to his advantage, Zenaxus ambushes Crystine as Grimtooth is simultaneously assassinated by Tarquin. Both of them are killed in the fight, and Tarquin agrees to play along and follow Zenaxus under Trident "command".

Battle at Honours Camp

The Battle at Honours Camp is the third major fight of the War of the Four Powers. Set in early Febrar of 602 UB, the conflict stemmed from Trident Association First General Crystine the Sly and his captain Camra Terra manipulating Oda clan leader Nobunaga Oda to attempt the assassination of Archslain Tegus in his camp.

By committing such an atrocity, the Oda clan began to wage war against the other clans of the Georgic Alliance. The fighting worsened with the arrival of Count Benjen III's thrall forces.

Archslain was able to survive the assassination attempt with the aide of the Heroes of Time. As a result of the attack, Isabel opted to stay at Honour's Camp to help them prepare for any reprisals by Nobunaga.

He welcomed the heroes to join in on the upcoming war council to discuss the threat of Count Benjen III, who had just assimilated the Morzon clan.

The war council got underway, whereby it was suggested that Nobunaga Oda's legendary axe, Glycar, could be the solution. However under the influence of Camra Terra, Nobunaga attempted to assassinate Archslain. The former was forced to retreat in the ensuing fight, but not without taking out Camra Terra for his deceit. Throughout the fight, the Heroes of Time were aided by a bard who chose to accompany them from that point onward. They had made another ally; Aeron Sweetboy.

The Future is in the Past

The Future is in the Past is the first character quest in the Sabre of Meitor Campaign. Focused primarily around Zenaxus, this quest served to explain the origins of Zenaxus' backstory and how he came to be the fierce assassin of the modern day.

## Plot

Whilst infiltrating Twin Ruins, the Heroes of Time discover several artefacts that supposedly lead to the mythical Isle of the Ancients. Shortly after escaping Twin Ruins, these objects begin to glow and the heroes are transported to an island in the sky with only a temple.

Entering this temple, they meet a strange man in a chair calling himself Shadow Elder Xaro. He offers to show them the past.

The group is then taken back nearly 60 years, to the Rausten Magic College in 545 UB. The group appears as spirits and so are able to enter unopposed into all the rooms. Eventually they come across a meeting room, where Magnus Tenebris, the head of the college, is meeting with the second High Elder of Melsa, Weelen Holist.

Remembering what Old Man Swiths had written in his book, Zenaxus revealed to the other Heroes of Time how he came to join the Clans of the Thicket after the conclusion of The Enmity. Unbeknownst to Zenaxus and despite their incorporeal form, the necromancer Tenebris could hear every word and set about planning the downfall of Arman exactly as Zenaxus described. In effect, Zenaxus, who had suffered much as a result of the Enmity, had indirectly caused it, creating an unbreakable loop of events in time.

After returning to the Isle of the Ancients, Xaro showed Azrael a vision and begged them to spare his daughter Vertan Selmi before sending them back to the surface.

The Holy Conflict

The United Liken Federation Meeting is an important plot point in the Sabre of Meitor campaign.

After the events of The Blood Feast, Kathus Warde decides to immediate bring forward a meeting of Liken's nations to help combat the threat of the Trident Association.

The meeting is cut short by the arrival of Trident representative Luther Render who proceeds to murder several delegates.

## Plot

After becoming Kathus' personal assistant, Isabel gains an insight into the political instability plaguing the Republic of Acacisa. Kathus informs Isabel that the Trident Association has taken control of Arman and are preparing to invade Melsa. Knowing her homeland is in between the two countries, Isabel once again begs for reinforcements to no avail.

Due to the increased violence, Kathus summons the delegates for the United Liken Federation meeting, a full 2 months early. She spends the coming weeks planning how to stop the advance of Trident.

En route to the meeting, Kathus is attacked but Isabel is able to protect her. Whilst at the meeting, Isabel comes face to face with Jascques Broth, the chief of the Diamond Bank of Beaustrom. The sneering elf seems to enjoy profiting off of the chaos. There is a standoff, as well as most of the delegates unsure how to proceed.

The meeting is interrupted by the arrival of Trident delegates Luther Render and Faobrosh the Barber. All is silent except Kathus, who threatens to throw them out as Trident are not welcomed here by not being a country. However Luther points out his organisation controls the Kingdom of Arman, and that the Georgic Alliance had just been destroyed during the Fight on the Great Plain.

Isabel enraged, she tries to attack Luther but is held back by Kathus. Luther decides that Kathus is an obstacle to total Trident control and orders Faobrosh to eliminate several delegates before disappearing. He is aided by Jascques Broth, who isn't a part of Trident but would rather not be slaughtered.

Isabel manages to fight them both off, but most of the delegates are killed...

In the immediate aftermath, Jascques pins the event on Kathus who is forced to call another election and is forbidden from running for the office through Acacisan law. Jascques emerges as the frontrunner and there is a strong possibility he will become the only figure of power in Acacisa.

Siege of Requis Castle

The Siege of Requis Castle is the fourth major event in the War of The Four Powers. Occurring days after the Battle at Honours Camp, the Heroes of Time tracked Trident Association First General Crystine the Sly to his home town of Requis. They are joined by the Armanian army, led by Emperor Aeris Rawle, who has decided to arrest Crystine on other charges. He is aided by the head of the Armanian Army, Letra Musca.

The siege takes place over a couple days, but eventually culminates in the capture of Crystine at the hands of the Heroes of Time after their successful infiltration of the castle. The victory causes Aeris to hold a celebratory dinner in Arman Castle, leading to the results of the Blood Feast.

## Plot

After returning from the Isle of the Ancients, the group set about travelling to Requis Castle, where Crystine the Sly had promised he would wait for them. Arriving in the town, they learnt that most of the townsfolk lived in fear of the Lord of Requis, Crystine's older brother Falmo Daar.

Requesting an audience with Lord Falmo, the nobleman dismissed the heroes' claims, stating that his brother's apparent abilities were little more than parlour tricks. He allowed them to stay for an upcoming feast where Falmo would be hosting Aeris Rawle, Emperor of Arman.

Upon their return to the throne room a few hours later, the Heroes of Time found a dead Falmo still sat on the throne, with Crystine seemingly murdering his own brother. Taking control of Requis, Crystine banished the heroes to prepare for the arrival of Aeris and his entourage.

Now cast out onto the streets, the group decided to wait and meet Aeris Rawle to try to enter the feast as part of the delegation. Later in the day, a large army led by the emperor can be seen in the distance. This delegation contained three important characters; Aeris Rawle, Letra Musca and Lucille Basin.

Aeris stated that Crystine would be arrested for aiding in Harry's escape from prison. Despite what happened at Twin Ruins, the heroes played along, suggesting they infiltrate the castle through the sewer system.

Wandering through the castle, the heroes struggled with a beefy cook, some hastily erected traps and eventually began getting destroyed by Crystine and his unique fighting style. All looked lost when Letra and his wizards finally broke the castle walls and rushed in to arrest the Archwizard.

A Magical Ability

A Magical Ability is the second character quest in the Sabre of Meitor campaign. It is the first time the Heroes of Time travel outside Liken, to the far off village of Ashmarsh in a foreign land.

## Plot

En route to the Dreadstation, the mythical pieces begin to glow again, taking the heroes to the Isle of the Ancients. Whilst there, Xaro sent them to Ashmarsh in 562 UB. This time the party were fully fledged beings rather than spirits like The Future is in the Past. Suddenly realising the temperature, the party began to freeze before being found by Ray, an 8 year old boy.

Ray's family were welcoming, although Ray's step mother curiously looked identical to Zenaxus' deceased mother. The party agreed to help prepare the village for a life festival and set off in different directions to help the other residents. Several times members of the party can see a huge demon trapped in an altar, seemingly invisible to the residents.

However a murder occurs and blame is solely pinned on Ray's father despite a solid alibi. To thwart this, the Heroes break the one rule of the village; they enter the pentagram altar at the heart of the village. There is a huge earthquake as the demon breaks free. The party appear as demons to the villagers, who swiftly turn on them. Only Ray holds back, but loses it when his father is killed by Azrael.

Suddenly the party is transported alongside Ray, in truth a young Raynard Olivier to the Rausten Magic College, where the group witness his induction.

## History

### *The Tygrine Cat*

Mithos approaches The Suzerain with great caution, addressing him formally and telling him that his wish to kill the Tygrine queen has been fulfilled. The Suzerain looks raged, and tells him that the spirits tell him that she is dead, but her son lives. Mithos is disbelieved, and his master asks him if he questions the spirits. Mithos immediately bows lower, telling him not. Suzerain declares that he has been deceived, ordering him to find the sedicia, who is Mati. Mithos bares his fangs, asking him what to do after, and Suzerain tells him that Mati must be destroyed.
Later, he is seen to be keen for news of his servant's process. He watches his high priests circling him with spells to protect Mithos on his mission. He remembers the desert being divided into great lands, and the daughters of Te Bubas and their feuding dynasties. He remembers the time when he is honored and feared by all of the cats.
The Suzerain sits up and closed his eyes. He is calling the spirit Alia, wiling the ancient powers. He opens his black eyes at the distant sound of thunder. He whispers about casting his sight into the darkness. He suddenly hears the high-pitched buzzing of a single fly.

## History

### In the *The Tygrine Cat*

Domino stops Mati, alongside with his companions, Ria and Binjax. The silver tabby whispers to him that Mati is strange, and Domino just watches Mati with steady eyes. Domino asks Mati if he is a normal cat. Mati has no answer, so he tells Domino that he's sorry about entering their territory. The large tabby hisses at Mati, while Domino just tells him that it might be OK for him to stay, as long as Pangur agrees.
Ria and Binjax laugh at Mati, but Domino reassures Mati that they never seen a rabbit. When the two tabbies laugh at Mati for having an "agouti coat", Domino tells him that there is nothing to be worried about. He introduces himself as Domino, and the other two as Ria and Binjax. He tries to convince Ria and Binjax that Mati seems ok. Domino then wants to take Mati to Sparrow.
Domino leads the way, and the group eventually arrives at a lower section of the riverbank, out of human activity. Mati feels uncomfortable, and asks Domino where they are going. Domino just tells Mati to follow him. Mati is fearful of the river, and Domino just friendlily tells him that he's just going to have to take a leap of faith.
Mati emerges over the river and out of the tunnel, with Domino coming out to greet him. Mati is about to thank him, but the black and white catling turns and disappears into the tunnel. He tells Mati to hurry up before lunch arrives, and bounds ahead. Mati envies Domino's confidence as he follows him. He silently admires Domino's broad head, and stout limbs. As they travel, Domino confidently takes the middle road and walks on in silence. The light grows brighter and the tom declares their arrival at the place.
Domino ushers Mati to the entrance of the chamber, ignoring Ria and Binjax's sniggering. Domino introduces Mati to Sparrow, who wonders who could the visitor be. Domino introduces Mati to Sparrow. Mati glances at Domino, who offers a reassuring blink. Sparrow invites the children to come in, and the catlings enter the room.
Domino asks Sparrow if they had to go home. The old tom tells them that their mothers would disapprove if they didn't, and that a kitten wasn't to attend a gathering. Domino wishes Mati good luck, as he has to go attend the gathering to meet the other cats.
The next morning, Mati thinks of the friendly black and white cat who stood up for him while the others jeered at him.

Azrael

After the Battle of the Oaken Staves

Azrael is a mysterious protagonist of the Sabre of Meitor Campaign. Joining forces with the Heroes of Time at Plage, Azrael's backstory has not been fully explained due to his amnesia.

A man who is paranoid of betrayal, he is a man of unanswered questions, notably of his past and the strange blue sword he has had as far as his memory stretches.

During a trip to the Shadow Plane, the Heroes of Time were saved by an illusion who resembled Azrael in the same room as Azrael himself, leading some to speculate that he may be much more powerful than anticipated.

## Sabre of Meitor Campaign

Azrael's first memories of his current life was awakening in Norden, with only his sword and some gold. After thanking the homeowner who sheltered him, Azrael attempted to leave Norden, but was stopped by a figure asking for help.

Hesitant at first, this man gave him a mission; to kill a defector of the Clans of the Thicket, a man known as Cenon. According to the man, Cenon had recently arrived in Plage. Before setting off, Azrael warned that a betrayal would result in this man's death. The man merely smiled.

> *'If it comes to that... the name's Drago Duneswal'*

As it turns out, Cenon was already dead, slain in Druin by the perpetrator of The Black Speech alongside Astrul Desway. Whilst in Plage, Azrael realised that Cenon was not about, but was interrupted due to his meeting with the Heroes of Time.

## Identity Theories

Azrael's identity is a source of much speculation. Having been apparently found frozen in a glacier by a man north of Norden carrying only his sword, many people suspect that Azrael is significantly older than he appears.

Furthermore, the sword has undergone four colour shifts, from Blue to Purple when Harry's dad was killed; from Purple to Red at the assassination of Aeris Rawle; from Red to Black at the assassination of Crystine the Sly and from Black to Red by sparing Ser Roland Osteler during The Holy Conflict. This mimics the old Aura Sword said to have been wielded by the Soul Hero Liken during the Year of Reckoning. Another piece of evidence is that during a trip to the Shadow Plane, the Heroes of Time were saved by an illusion resembling Azrael.

Into the Desert

Into the Desert is a continuation of the main storyline in the Sabre of Meitor campaign. Occurring after the events of Attack on Arman Castle, the Heroes of Time are betrayed but are given a second chance by an old enemy...

## Plot

Immediately returning to Arman Castle, the Heroes of Time are still surrounded by Luther Render and Letra Musca. Although the latter does not wish to ignore the death duel laws, Luther overrides them. Before all hell can break loose, Astral stops the fighting and gives the key to Luther, announcing that the several months she spent captive at the castle has changed her outlook on the future.

As the members of the Trident Association begin to leave, Brooke Moon suddenly goes berserk, snatching the key from Luther's grasp, growing wings and soaring out the window. All those present can then hear Count Benjen III announcing that he had acquired two legendary weapons and was using them to control an army of the undead.

Both parties quickly flee towards the Count's ancestral home at Dead Mans Sands. The journey through the desert is littered with encounters with the dead, with the party having to burn them during the day when they appear motionless. They also stop the night at Camp Wolny, a nomadic base for the Wolny people who are known to screech like Tusken Raiders.

At the nearby town of Oken, the group spy the Count's warship and decide to use it as an escape route. Ahead of them lies Dead Mans Sands, a decaying castle where two pillars of magic; one black and one white, can be seen striking the sky.

The final showdown with Benjen is looming...
