## Quest

### Main Quest

* Find Rogthil.
* Aridon must survive.

Description: Following the failure of the Undead in Salria, Rogthil has gone missing. Being the last of the Bonelords and now no longer under Aridon's control, he is a dangerous being for all who encounter him. Aridon must constrain his former servant - either by force or through diplomacy. Given that Rogthil has been merged with the other two Bonelords, it is unlikely however that he is in any stable mental state and even less likely for him to cooperate.

* Defeat Rogthil.
* Aridon must survive.

Description: As Rogthil refuses to cooperate, Aridon has little choice but to battle his former loyal servant. Rogthil cannot be allowed to free, he's too dangerous for the living and undead, mortal and immortal alike.

Rogthil then said that Aridon was really believing in his own lies.

He battled the renegade Bonelord, dueled with him, until he eventually defeated the Bonelord.

## Aftermath

Aridon tried to control the Bonelord once again, but failed to which Rogthil said that he cannot be controlled or caged even if a part of him wanted to return to Aridon. He then said that even Aridon's immense powers can't contain him anymore since he has the essence of the three Arkainians, including the gods Aridon slayed; thus, protecting him. Before teleporting away, he declared war against anyone in his way. Aridon was left in thought if everything the Bonelord said was possibly true and must be considered, despite Rogthil's insanity. He also had the thought if the whole balance was really just an act or invention to which he thought to be unlikely.

They defeated and drove the Gods to extinction, and ruled Arkain and let their creatures grow, like the Demon God creating Demons, Master of Shadows raising Shadows, Avatar of Death reanimating corpses and the Dark One enslaving others. But the Dark One's betrayal caused the downfall of their alliance. Aridon and Bhaarizel left the creations to their fates, while preventing the resurrection of the Dark One, while maintaining "balance" and leaving the mortals to their fates.

He then says that the Dark One is setting himself together in another continent - EXPLICITLY on the Imperial lands, where Largoth hid himself. Then saying to Ornasion that he was only a tool for the Dark One's ascension, by making the Demon Legion invasion as a cover, then telling what would Zindrach thinks that the Demons fell for his rival's petty tricks, and fooling his creations for it, while others dream of his return, even rebuilding his fortress.

The scholar Galareth had lived an ordinary and boring life in an university in Kerrel until he decided to change it. Instead of enduring the boredom, he decided to play around with the dark arts of necromancy – and it turned out that he was quite good at it, learning quickly to raise zombies on the local graveyard in secret. He grew very skilled very soon without any outside help. Eventually, he was approached by a member of a secret group of necromancers, inviting him to join them – he declined, convinced that they merely wanted to leech his knowledge from him. They gave him a week to reconsider but he never did. On the eighth day, the scholar Galareth disappeared without a trace of his whereabouts. The Rohir Nexus had taken him in. However, rather than killing and raising him, they traded him to the Ardoz Nexus instead. The Ardoz Nexus did what they do best: Cause pain and agony. They slowly drove him insane, causing unthinkable mental and physical pain to him – but also making sure that he stayed alive. Eventually they decided to try something new. They did not just kill him, they tore his spirit out of his body and bound it to the body of another prisoner: An ogre magi who had been part of the Ogre Legion until he had fallen before the might of Sir Edoarus the Executioner. The body of the ogre now contained two souls that fought for control. But the Ardoz went further, they magically combined the two spirits into one. Galareth and Gart the Great became one – and it drove them insane, even in death. The Ardoz Nexus watched their undead ogre with the mind of both a human an ogre for several weeks as the creature did nothing but speak words that made no sense. Eventually, the creature calmed down. It now identified himself as Galareth the Great. Galareth had retained his magic skills, but he still felt the consequences of his unnatural creation from time to time. He completely embraced the way of the Ardoz Nexus. The experiment turned into a researcher, experimenting on the living to "improve" them – through pain and the abhorrent thing that the Ardoz Nexus called "science".

Then one day as Brazen turned the age of six, much to the shock of his fellow clansmen, the tribe's elder came to meet with the young man and learned of the fighting spirit that swelled within him. The clan’s elder told his parents that he wished for Brazen to be taught in the ways of combat in order for him to become a great warrior some day, his parents of course with great astonishment as brazen was the youngest of the tribe to be recommended to be a warrior and great pride accepted his proposal.

During his training Brazens natural talents only grew to the point that at the age of twelve he was considered to be on an equal with some of the more accomplished fighters of the clans. And when it was time for him to choose a Warlord to fight in the name of, he chose the house of Valgar. There in the house of Valgar he grew and fought day by day week by week till the day of his Twentyfirst birth when he had to leave his home and become a wanderer of his people. Made to leave behind all but the most minor of necessities and a photo of his loved ones, Brazen was blindfolded and led into a field far from home so that he could not easily find his way back.

Many days passed that Brazen wondered on his own till he finally found a village. Just a small one with not even a name to itself. He spent some time there doing some odd jobs helping the people of the town till he could afford to buy some new equipment and get a ride to the (what in his mind was considered) sprawling metropolis of Leyn.

And so here at this moment begins the story, of Brazen Valger.

Skullblade Clan

Skullblade Clan was an Orc Clan in Arkain.

## Description

The warriors of the Skullblade Clan boast that, unlike the other Orcs, their ancestors
came to Arkain on flying beasts rather than than sailing on ships. While it is true that
the clan is in control of many flying beasts, it is unlikely that they really travelled on the
backs of these beasts all the way from the original home of the Orcs to Arkain.
Still, since the Orcs have no historical records and do not even know where they came from,
the Skullblade Clan stays to this version of the story. Many believe that the Skullblade Clan did
not even have any beasts when arriving on the future Orc Islands but instead found and tamed
the beasts there.
Either way, there is one thing that all Orcs can agree on:
While the clan also has strong ground forces, thirsting for battle, the aerial might of the Skullblade
is not to be underestimated.

## History

After the disastrous Great Journey, the Orc Clans were reforming their ranks, and finding new lands to settle.

General Dorbric Berangar is an Imperial Army General, and leader of the Imperial Regiments, namely Bull Regiment.

## Description

The current leader of the Bull Regiment, the veteran General Dorbric, is said to be as strong as ten men, his axe having cut large Demons in half with but a single strike. There are also rumors that, on the way to the Kingdoms, his ship was attacked by a sea snake and he tore the beasts' jaw apart with his bare hands as it tried to devour him. Like his warriors, he prefers to charge right into trouble and break through anything in his way, leaving the more complex strategies to other regiments and generals. Still, labelling him as little more than a simple-minded buffoon would be a grave mistake. One should not give the Bull a reason to start a stampede while standing in front of him. Dorbric may be more of a brawler than a leader, but exactly that made him the perfect leader of the Bull Regiment.

## Personality

Being a headstrong commander, he preferred direct confrontation over long talks. But it is a mistake calling him a meathead, as he is not stupid.

## Abilities

Lady Meya

## Background

In life, Lady Meya was a countess of Toran, a beautiful noble with countless suitors, however she never married any of them, she enjoyed watching them all trying to gain her favor. The countess was a selfish, vain and arrogant woman, uncaring about anything except her looks. However, as she grew older, Meya began to worry. She was still beautiful, but she knew that time would take her beauty from her. As many others before her, she was approached by the Demons who offered eternal youth - for a prize. She was very, **very** tempted, but despite her vanity, Meya declined their offer, having the demon cultists killed. After that, she was contacted by a group of necromancers, who claimed to have found a way to help her achieve what she wanted in exchange for monetary support. After just having turned herself into an enemy of all demon cults, Meya accepted and joined the cult, funding all of its researches and also studying the arts of necromancy herself. In time, Meya became the leader of the cult and made it focus on finding a way to reach immortality. Age began to leave its marks and Meya forcefully fastened the research efforts of the cult.
However, as the cult became more and more powerful due to the countess' funding, the Undead decided to put an end to their actions. One day, Meya woke up and was surrounded by her necromancers - who were now undead. There was also a skeleton with a bow made of bones that appeared to be part of his body. Meya heard a noise that could have been a laugh coming from the skeletons' mouth as one of her former acolytes cut her throat. Yet, this was not her end. She was brought back from the dead to serve the cause of the Undead and granted the eternal life she had been looking for. Meya would continue leading her necromantic cult, but now in the service of Aridon. She would lure young, beautiful men and women into her service, turning them undead, and make them infiltrate necromancer cults to both keep an eye on them and influence them. They would use her looks to seduce the leaders whatever way Meya wished. Over the years, Meya became the one who was, either directly or indirectly, manipulating all existing necromancer cults.
