Chapter 6, A Storm of Steel / Harryman


Over the take of the new year, the citizens of Burthorpe and Taverly have watched as new corrupt lords have entered the meetings and sat at the table of the steel council, slowly but surely, they've established near full control of the city due to their influence; money or magic or maybe just what the people want is what they're promising, but nevertheless, a cold political battle has begun and the one honorable family left fighting are the Prays.

Harius Pray has rode north beyond the steel walls with Talvar of the Talons and Captain Aeldrin of the Hooded Lady on a religious order for the druids, in attempt to find the missing scouts send to learn the truth of Guthix's death, and whilst recovering an artifact, a gem for the Zarosian ranger.

With him gone, lords Serson, Leroni, and Syphon have the most power at the steel council and though many citizens despise this strict rulership, only the imperials have the power to disobey and they are sworn by oath to protect the city through command of the emperor, or in this case, the council.

The election for a new emperor is on the horizon and it is Lord Serson of the Redhill who is taking most of the votes. These three new and mysterious lords are foreign men but have managed to seize power thanks to connections or behind closed doors; perhaps blood.

Tensions grips the city not just from the inside but beyond the walls; the power struggle in mainland Asgarnia, the supposed marching armies of the radical religious warbands coming from the wilderness, the trolls, and even the dwarves have cut off communication, refusing to continue their construction of weapons for the city. War is inevitable, and if it comes for the steel city, it comes for the world.

News of Guthix's death continues to spread and a surge in radical religious activity for good and bad is has begun.

Chapter 6, A Storm of Steel / Harryman


In the north, Harius, Talvar, A*ldrin and Jun, would finally have found the mine and entered upon listening to the missing druids. Inside they were ambushed by bandosians, led by Kol'jun Blackbreak, one fo their greatest generals, Harius managed to escape on horseback, riding through the camp, whilst Aeldrin and Talvar were captured by Olyvar and Aron, magical twins, and their new ally Jon Caspian, revealed to have been alive up in the mountains this whole team, allied with the bandosian clans. Harius managed to recover the gem Juros had sent him for but the druids were killed before they could question them; one thing's for certain, the warbands are gathering, and they are closer now to the city than ever before.

Harius rode back to Taverly reporting that Jun was missing at the two captains were dead men - he met with Juros and gave him the gem and introduced him to Caesar Pray, his brother. They had spent too long trying to convince the steel council of the coming war and the imperials remain sworn by oath to sit waiting for the fight. The dwarves have stopped sending weapons though with the gems recovered from the mine, Harius has rode to them with the coming of young adventurous girl Aoife in the hopes of coming to some sort of negotiation with the dwarves and then speaking to the bank of the grand exchange, requesting aid in the battle that is to come.

Kol'jun Blackbreak's name has spread through the city and into nearby villages, possibly Falador and Edgeville too, northern Asgarnia is the target and he is the one leading the charge; an army of armies, warbands of different Gods anticipating the return of their leaders, the return of the God Wars.

Chapter 6, A Storm of Steel / Harryman


Harius' brother Caesar has met again with Juros and the two have come to some sort of alliance; both promising to help one another by sailing back down to the south. In the company of Hollie, Nicholas, and the old man Nuj, they've gone to the south and are staying nights in Nuj's farm whilst the ranger builds the abandoned library's key using the recovered gem, and Caesar writes to the summoners, the wizards and necromantic lords of Draynor and at the Wizard's tower in the hope that they will aid in the coming invasion.

Arriving at Nuj's house they were greeted by a plentiful amount of crows; something right away was off and evil - the wind was howling and the crows were a bad omen. Eventually an armoured woman revealed herself and assaulted the four, with the help of a winged beast, a raptor, she managed to tear Caesar and Nicholas, seasoned fighters, to near shreds, giving them visions in the process of a quick figure of lightning back down at Skipper's point castle and a dark being rising up from the ashes there.

Before they were defeated, in a flash of lightning, Wallace Gatsby emerged and in a second was gone; he had been mastering his powers and training hard, able to move in a mirage or superspeed, he took away the armoured woman and with that, the fight was over. Nuj was injured and they discussed the visions, awaiting *****'s return to explain to him the events, Hollie revealed she knew the woman, the falchoner, and must have been hunting her.

Upon receiving the request for aid, 5 of the 6 the Archmages of the Wizards Tower would gather in the Grand Archmages office.

"You know we're not to interfere with the affairs of mortals, as per the authority of the Council" The Archmage of Water had spoken before they had even officially began the meeting.

"Yes, and the Council is nothing more than a bunch of tyrannical, egotistical ********" The Earth Archmage said angrily.

"Both of you, shut it. We can't said any form of aid, this is strictly a mortal affair, so we have no reason to-" Roe Umbra began, until he was interrupted by his cousin.

"Actually, Roe, I have information to tell you all. The Council is trying to keep it a secret, but it will get out eventually. Guthix is dead..." Connor stated rather plainly.

The room would grow quiet, disbelief on their faces.

"There's no way that...how?" The Air Archmage asked.

"As of yet, all we know is that it was connected to a battle at Mudskipper point, and that light. This also explains why a few mages have gotten ill. Backlash from the world..." Connor stated, rather surprised by his own words, a first in his life.

"But why would the Council want to keep that quiet?" The Air Archmage asked.

"Control...this would cause an uproar among the religious groups and mages..." Earth Archmages stated.

"Connor, how did you obtain this information? If the Council was keeping it a secret, how did you hear of it?" Water Archmage asked.

"Nero learned of it...him and my daughter are looking into it at Taverly. And after they're done there, I'll send them to help." Connor stated, rather proudly.

"We're not to said ANY aid!" The Water Archmage stated, rather loudly.

"/We're/ not. A freelancer looking after a Tower Mage, however, will..." Connor said.

"Send Meris with a note to Nero then, we can't risk anything. And send a reply that they will get as much aid as we can muster...." Roe stated rather wearily.

And thus the meeting ended.

On doge's suggestion and with a few aportations by me, i've decided to start a teaser mini-series of events in the forums that eventually lead to the Expedition to the North and the start of the Lich Plot, take this as a nice preview!

....

A Village In northern Misthalin, Six** Age

"What a damn mess...." Sir Dragomir said as he covered his mouth and nose with a napkin, he was coated in a full steel plate armor and a ******* sword hanged from a strip in his back, his helmet being held below his arm as he watched the hideous and disgusting bodies in the ditch, a elder villager standing besides him alongsides his Squire and a partner

The bodies were horribly deformed, the rotten meat giving an unbearable scent, some of the bodies were nothing more than bone.... all of them had weapon and fire marks, all of them quite recent, the most hideous of the bodies looked like several parts meshed up together, no doubt part of a sick experiment

"You're right, Elder, we should've come sooner.... but the damn Capital is too busy with the silly Class War to care about the important problems" -Sir Arkisor, his partner, said as he knelt besides the ditch, examining the most recent body, a boy no older than 16, his skin was white, very very white, and his eyes were completly black, a truly horrible sight- "Tell us the story again, Elder"

The Elder, who was almost vomiting thanks to the smell, sniffed a bit and began talking- "There was..... there was a group of travelers who stopped in your village for shelter, they claimed they were traveling north and that they would only stay a few days, maybe a week at its fullest... strange fellows they were, dressed in black, they claimed they were a caravan of pilgrims to a temple in the north, in the Dark Lands.... i don't know why we trusted them, if only...."

"On the third day of their stay weird things began happening, the Shrine had been desecrated, several --

-- religious heirlooms had been stolen or destroyed, and the graves.... several of them had been desecrated as well, we formed a mob and began looking for the Travelers, but they were gone, on the fifht day people began dissapering from their homes, the youngest and the oldest, we called for help from nearby villages and fortress, but help never came"

"on the eight day, everything went to hell, they attacked the Village, it was horrible, monsters, they were monsters, what you see now, they were alive! alive and walking, they arrived and began murdering people, burning houses, burning everything! and the travelers were with them, controling them.... they were Necromancers by Saradomin! dark magic users! eventually we managed to kill them.... again, alongsides some of the Necros, but the rest escaped, I bet they are still around somewhere...." the Elder finished his tale with a sigh, looking at the bodies for one last time before walking away, leaving the Knights to their business

"Necromancers, traveling to the North, looks like it wasn't a fake rumor or a joke, it was true" -The squire said grimly and with fear, looking at the bodies with disgust, Dragomir sighed as he slowly turned around to walk away as well- "I feared that, i really hoped they were only myths.... Sir Arkisor, travel around the village and gather some volunteers, arm then and present them to me, we are going to scout the area to search for the Necromancers" Dragomir said as he walked to their camp in the outskirts of the village, sighing as he placed his helmet back on

* By Saradomin, what the hell is going on....~
