Champions Task Force

The Champions Task Force (abbreviated by humans and Felinas as CTF) is a group of Ardoni who work to catch the threats hidden in Ardonia. They often sneak into the kingdoms and perform vigilante justice; while this is commonly demoted among the kingdoms, the kingdoms' leaders often praise the Task Force for catching their most ruthless villains and criminals. The Task Force is led by the current Champion, and there has been known to be over 50 members in it at a time; however the exact number has never been determined, as many of them work in secret.

# Battles

## Northwind Conflict

### Battle of the Shrine

In the Northwind Conflict (aka the First Nether Invasion), the CTF, at that time a private army led by Ryelius Kaltaris, pledged to defend Ardonia against the Netherans. The first battle of the Northwind Conflict was the Battle of the Shrine, where the CTF defended their Song Shrine near the Walls of Time from King Phoenix of the Nether. Ryelius killed him, but Phoenix ran him through with his last breath, permantently injuring Ryelius and leading Krelo Mendoris to become the new Champion.

### Battle of Silverwatch

During the Battle of Silverwatch, 14/27 CTF members were slain, in turn killing 22 Netherans which had occupied the Northwind port town Silverwatch. Eventually the CTF was able to clear the Netherans out with the help of Northwind's army in Hailstone, which they sent for assistance.

### Hailstone Invasion

It seemed as if all was lost, as the Netherans had invaded Hailstone and had killed the King of Northwind :( at last, Krelo reigned and invaded the city, killing many Netherans. The guerilla combat lasted for days.

### Battle of Hailstone

Finally the CTF and the Crown Peak Military (Ardonia stood united at this time) they were able to retake Hailstone, and the CTF was awarded many medals and bravery awards.

## Nether-End Wars

### Battle of Obsidiholm

The Battle of Obsidiholm is the first battle in the Nether-End Wars, which established a solid balance between the two dimensions. Obsidiholm is a large city in Ender Dimension which was destroyed by the Nether in the battle, but the CTF was able to evacuate the city so only 32 Enderans died.

## Voltaris Purge

### Sendaria Massacre

During the Sendaria Massacre, the Champion Aurelius Nestoris led a charge during the banishing of the Voltaris. 14 Voltaris were killed and 12 Ardoni from other clans. This was the first event in the purging of the Voltaris.

### Barrier Mountains Purge

Under the lead of Champion Aurelius Nestoris, the masters ordered the Task Force to attack and destroy the newly exiled Voltaris from the Barrier Mountains in the north. During this was when leadership was changed from Aurelius to the new younger Ardoni, Thalleous Sendaris. Thalleous continued the purge with the rest of the CTF and killed many Voltaris, forcing them into hiding.

## The Great War

### Battle of Voltaria

During the Battle of Voltaria, Ingressus had acquired the Protisium Prime and the Supporium Prime. The Enderknights faced off against the Nether in Voltaria while the Voltaris attempted to reclaim their home province, but the CTF charged in and sided with the Enderknights. During this, Rendor tried to kill Ingressus but he was able to defend himself from Rendor's dragon. Thalleous was not present in the battle, as he and Achillean Nestoris had been on a trip to steal a weapon, the Nebulord, from the Voltaris stronghold.

## The Second Great War

### Second Battle of Mount Velgrin

The Champions Task Force has fought many individual battles, serving as the Provinces' private armies. A significant one that happened during the Second war was the Second Battle of Mount Velgrin, headed by the CTF's acting leader, Zulius Kaltaris. The previous leader, Thalleous Sendaris, had been killed by a Voltaris general, and Zulius took command while the next champion, Tempest Sendaris, had gone missing near Crown Peak. Zulius was then killed by Ingressus Voltaris, leading Tempest to then take command of the CTF.

# Leaders

## Recent Leaders

### Tempest Sendaris

The current leader of the CTF, Tempest Sendaris, is one of the greatest champions to reign, although only just old enough to be one. His two apprentices Airiox Sendaris and Kaela Nestoris are also in the CTF as its youngest members. Tempest led the CTF to its final battle on the Voltaria-Sendaria border, when the CTF fought the Primesingers and finally defeated them and their leader, Tor Mendoris. Tempest is also known for contributing greatly to the Second Great War; while not joining the KoA like his apprentices, he led the remaining CTF members to victory in the Ardoni provinces, slaying 300 Netherans and thousands of Undead.

### Thalleous Sendaris

While Thalleous is undoubtedly one of the greatest Champions, he almost never was believed by the other CTF members about the return of the Voltaris. luckily, he managed to hide the Primes before the Voltaris could get to them, awakening the CTF and its new leader Zulius (after the death of Thalleous).

# Significance/Accomplishments

## Alliances

### Alliance with the Enderknights

The CTF is often a good ally during wars, some significant examples being the Northwind Conflict (100 BGW), The War of the Nether and End (73 BGW), The Ardonia War (65 BGW), The Nether Invasion (1-10 BGW), The Great War (0 BGW), the Second Great War (154 AGW), and the War of the Primes (around 158 AGW). The largest conflicts of these were by far the Nether Invasion, The Great War, and the Second Great War (may be excluded for short length and replaced with the Northwind Conflict). In all of these except the Second Great War, the CTF allied heavily with the Enderknights. Some knights are famous for allying with the Task Force, especially Shadow, Rendor (deceased), Abbigail, Crystal, Saxon, Trevor, and Silvern.

### Alliance with Blaze

Blaze is a Netheran warrior who lives in Nazgard, capital of the Nether kingdom of Ardonia. He is the leader of Vulcannus' task force, and often helps and relies on the CTF, as they are great friends with him. He did not like the leadership of Pythus and helped Vulcannus quietly undermine his brother's systems. Since Blaze has extraordinary powers and is one of the most powerful Netherans, he is often on the front lines of the wars. In fact, he allied with the Enderknights during the Great War instead of the Netherans themselves. Blaze is a very powerful ally for the CTF.

### Alliance with the Clans

The Masters Council is usually in control of the CTF and commands where they go and attack, which is why significant members such as Thalleous Sendaris, Osivian Sendaris, Zulius Kaltaris, Hadion Mendoris, Galadar Mendoris, and others often are seen in meeting caves with the masters to work out plans.
