The pain is too much for me to bear. I have nothing left but to go on this voyage to the west, to confront and defeat the darkness which claimed the sanity of my husband and children in their sleep. Although they still live, death would have been preferable to such a monstrous fate. They would have been at peace, joining the eternal choir. Instead, I see the tortured look on Carian's face as he murmurs the name of Xau-Tak, and my dear Dyfan and Aneira whimpering and crying in their sleep. Sometimes they just lie there wide-eyed and mouthed, tears just falling down the sides of their horrified faces. This voyage is not revenge. I must save them.

Groups of Iorwerth troops and Cadarn wizards and archers come aboard the Grisial Purdeb, meaning Purity Crystal in the common tongue, along with Trahaearn cannoneers and Ithell singers that have trained their voices to the extent that they can even shape the very ship we stand on, as well as our automatons. Trahaearn built the base of our machines, and Ithell can alter them slightly to suit the purpose at hand. Unfortunately Baxtorian cannot come with us on this voyage as Lady Seren had only just reformed, but we still have hope that we can bring her light to the world. I hope that I can bring her light to my beloved family.

We have left the haven of Tirannwn, and already I can sense many shadows ahead. Emptiness, chaos, insanity...and nightmares. One shadow is comprised of nightmares showing tendrils rising from an ocean covered in the dead. Was this what my husband and children saw in their sleep, that which caused such untold misery to them and who knows how many others? I can see light as well, but not the same as her light. Some of these lights have a tinge of darkness to them. In the name of Lady Seren, we will pierce the darkness of the world with her light! Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

After ten days the Grisial Purdeb was shrouded in fog, and when it cleared we found ourselves in a completely unfamiliar place. I can see islands here, and from within I can feel the clouds of despair within its inhabitants, living under the feet of cruel monarchs. There is tension here as well, like fear of losing loved ones and carnage in the ocean. This place is completely different from our home in Prifddinas.

Did my husband and children sense this before they had the nightmares? Were they shown these strange waters before being dragged into the depths by Xau-Tak? As I ponder these things, the Grisial Purdeb alerts us to danger.
"Creaduriaid tywyll canfod. Paratoi i ddileu."
It has detected creatures of darkness, and we prepare to attack, to destroy the shadows.

Trahaearn fire the cannons, and spheres of light burst forth unto the ship where we sensed the darkness. Ithell sing the automaton suits to weave themselves around two of our brethren from Iorwerth and Cadarn, and they fly out to meet the enemy. I can see the shadows in my mind, they appear to be lupine with features resembling creatures I believe are called vampyres. From what I hear they fought in the name of Zamorak, the god of chaos who rent the Anima Mundi all those years ago. This darkness must be pierced.

This werewolf is too strong for our brethren, and taking the fight to him any longer will take too much time. I fear that if we tarry any further then my family and others will be lost to the nightmares of the sea. We retreat to the east, following the sight of tendrils and black stone over the horizon. We shall spare our best for Xau-Tak, on this Cursed Archipelago from where the nightmares came. The terrors my beloved family are suffering now shall end there. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

Two weeks pass, and we discover a light coming from a small chain of islands. There are traces of the nightmare here, but it seems as if it had been repelled by a strange light. The islands are covered in flames of a plethora of different colours, and they seem to mutate in shape. Even the water surrounding these islands catches fire at times. Then some small creatures that resemble goblins materialise from the ash created by the flames.

Such an odd place to find goblins, and even more so to find them speaking in a calm and relaxed tone, almost as if Bandos was a dream to them. "Yes, that true. She wake us up, and we sets fire to world in her name. Flames brings peace and light to world. Does you know that?" She? Who are they talking about? And how do they know what we are thinking? "You has been suffering too. Come, light fire with us. Let it burn your doubts away." And then they conjure up balls of fire that glow in a rainbow of colours.

I can tell that these are no ordinary flames, and sense danger. I step into my exoskeleton suit and Ithell singers weave the crystal together, and I set out to defend the Grisial Purdeb. I fire my bow at one of the goblins, who disappears into the ash and reappears on a small island that has just appeared, burning with fresh flames. "It no good trying to put out real fire. She show us many things, how flames destroys and creates at same time. We was burned to ground, and now we is reborn in new shapes. Take this blessing, join us!" The fireballs surround these creatures and then launch themselves at the Grisial Purdeb, and I intercept them without damage. These flames might be fierce, but they are no match for the crystals of Lady Seren. I keep up the attack, countering with light magic powered by the crystal. We will not let these creatures burn the world! Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

Soon I sense the shadow of Zamorak and the light of Saradomin approaching us. I need to move fast to defeat these creatures. "So they has come to play their hand. We burn white city of God of Shiny Light and wildy land before Queen take us here. They comes to get burned again!" And soon many of the goblin-like creatures from the ash, along with what seem to have been dwarves, humans and werewolves among other races, all rise from the burning islands to throw more fireballs at the ships that arrive.

They are here, just as I thought they would be. And the sheep of Saradomin have herded together at this moment, though I was surprised to find elves so far away from Isafdar. I was even more surprised to find them engaging the goblins in battle, but more than that, the Queen of Ashes seems to have recruited dwarves, humans, werewolves, many races and beings that had suffered the tread of other feet. Do not fear the flames, my Chaos Paladins. Embrace the chaos that ensues and obtain strength from it!


Vey informs me that the beasts of Zamorak have played their hand, and he has sent his Chaos Paladins to the seas. I have sent a group of the Temple Knights' best mages to engage the goblins and assist the elves in bringing the light of justice to the goblins who razed Falador and killed many of my people. The flames almost engulfed Asgarnia that day, and even now I see the Queen's fire blazing through the islands here. We must extinguish them to ensure safety for humankind!


Some Saradominists come to aid me, which I thought odd as I believed them to have slaughtered those of us who travelled to Morytania. Nevertheless I find myself grateful for assistance in dealing with these creatures, even if it is only temporary. The Zamorakians, however, dock on the islands themselves and engage the goblins in open combat! Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

These paladins of the dark and knights of the light have docked on the burning islands, and are now attacking each other and the ashen creatures. An almost endless volley of multicoloured fire is interspersed with the clashes of metal as the armies of Saradomin and Zamorak charge, blocking, dodging and slashing with brutal power and efficiency. A dwarf from the ashes raises his pickaxe and plunges it into the island, causing cracks to flow out of the impact and flames to burst out from them, covering all in their path.

Vey and I watch as the Temple Knights dive in amongst the Queen's blaze and the metal of the Chaos Paladins. We are much more prepared for the flames gathered here, the knights stronger than before and with greater spirit, greater belief in me. Faith is needed more than ever in these dark times, and we must hasten to bring my light and wisdom to the Archipelago. After an hour of furious clashing, the Chaos Paladins bring forth their leader Furora, and her presence alone causes great disquiet in my Knights' spirits. I must send Vey to stop her.


It seems that Saradomin has sent his trump card out at last. Sir Vey Lance finally arrives on these blazing rocks, and he gives off that same aura that Furora has. The chaos that flowed over the hearts of all combatants here has been brought to order by his presence, and everyone stops battling, almost as if to stand to attention to these two souls. They both stand before each other, sizing each other up. Then Furora unsheathes her blade, Lance draws his sword and raises his shield, and both roar as they clash.


Before Carian had the nightmares he used to tell me of his adventures outside Isafdar. He told our children stories of epic clashes between Saradomin and Zamorak, but I used to think they were mere fairy tales. This is the first time such a fairy tale came to reality for me, and even the Iorwerth stop to watch this incredible battle. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

Her blade crashes overhead straight down on Lance's shield, and I can feel that aura bursting from their souls, commanding respect from all present. It is clear that neither of these two are to be trifled with; if they battle us I may have to step in with the Taranau, our greatest weapon on the Grisial Purdeb. No, wait...the Taranau is too dangerous to use against humans, even ones as strong as these. They both break from the contact and launch a barrage of attacks on each other, using swords and shield, nooks on armour and the sheer power of their spirits which in itself stays those nearby.

800 years of training my cryomancy have saved us from that tsunami threatening to swamp us. Our morale has gained a considerable boost after Azzanadra was freed from his prison in Sophanem, and news has only improved since. The crew aboard the Ark of Senntisten include myself along with other mages specialising in the ancient arts, a cadre of demons who survived in the Abyss, vampyres who enjoyed the fruits of the Empire, and our captain Audasius. We have been on these waters for a long time, searching for the Glory of Zaros which disappeared somewhere here so we may learn the fate of her crew. Along the way we clashed with many adversaries, some of whom are here now battling over rocks burning with a multicoloured flame.


The Grisial Purdeb has detected another darkness approaching, one hailing from a place that was once called Senntisten. There is also a light approaching, which emanates from a ship full of elves. They carry a symbol we haven't seen in Tirannwn before...they are from the Cywir clan. But I thought they were left behind when we left our world of old? Both the darkness and light pulsate, and I can feel the reverberating of the seed of the Taranau... Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

The hunger for Her light continues to intensify, and each day we can feel shadows enveloping this world. Shadows the likes of which would never have been found on Tarddiad. Zaros, Xau-Tak, Zamorak, Sliske...all of these shadows must be eliminated. We all sing in unison and the crystals within us grind and shape us into our deadliest weapons. We will avenge Clan Cywir, and bring harmony and justice to the darkness covering this planet.


There is nothing else I can do. My husband and children need me. I step inside my exoskeleton and place the seed of the Taranau inside its chest, which radiates an almost blinding light and starts to grow out in branches, covering the metal suit...

Those who would deny order and enlightenment are gathering on these blazing rocks, and Vey is still clashing valiantly against Furora. Zamorak has truly brought out his finest here, but even then I can see stronger forces coming now...


In spite of the flames, there is a certain chill to this place. It comes from out to sea, from the sky, even the water itself. This is where it will all happen. Embrace the chaos that is to come, my Chaos Paladins!


As soon as we reach the islands with coloured flames, we are greeted with quite the impressive clash between the leaders of the Saradominists and Zamorakians. I can tell that their souls exude powerful auras worthy of commanding forces, perhaps even fitting for a king. They are strong fighters, capable of holding their own even against the Mahjarrat. But even as we watch these admittedly fearsome warriors do battle, I have noticed a powerful light emanating from one of the elven boats. An elf floats outside, her body writhing as her metallic and crystalline suit changes into a state that is almost like liquid without gravity. And more elves come from the other ship in similarly malleable states.

An elf has floated out of her ship and a crystal inside a metallic suit is glowing brilliantly, growing out in branches. The metal seems to almost melt as the crystal grows and wraps around it, radiating brighter and changing shape. I remember the time I last saw Seren's crystal when I was mortal, but I never thought I would see something like this.


Amidst the light coming from the forces of Saradomin and some strange ashen creatures on blazing rock islands, and the darkness of Zamorak and Zaros, we see one of our kind arise from the ship carrying those who left on the exodus from Tarddiad. She wears a metallic suit that was clearly made by the Trahaearn Clan, and one of the most powerful crystals we have ever experienced is radiating as it grows out and covers her. The suit seems to melt and change shape, more flexible than our Cywir bodies. What the nature of this crystal is, we cannot say, but it seems dangerous.


The light of the Taranau covers the fire, water, rocks, boats, everything that is here including myself. All I can see is my family standing before me in this empty place, looking at me even though I cannot see myself. Carian, my dearest husband, says to me, "Don't give up now, dear. Believe in love, in the light of Seren, and the shadows of the world will be cleaved including that which grips us now." My children call out to me too. Dyfan says to me, "Don't die, mother. Please, survive what comes your way and come back to us as family." I feel the touch of Aneira's hands on mine, and hear the tears falling to the floor. "We love you, mother. Please come back safely." Their crying faces fade into the light, and I can see my arm again. The metal and crystal in the suit are resonating and expanding even further, and now I know what needs to be done. Even the perils of the Taranau will not stop the love for my family. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

We of Clan Cywir use our shapeshifting abilities to forge ourselves into our weapons, and the crystal stays solid and rigid. The crystal within this elf woman who just came out of her ship, however, seems to cover her in what is like a shining liquid film. The film itself is her whole arsenal, moulding parts of itself into many different weapons and armours at once. Its abilities to mould far exceed us as shapeshifters, but it still seems unstable. Indeed, we can see her writhing inside, struggling with grief at the suffering of her loved ones.


Memories begin to flash in my mind as the Taranau surrounds me in its crystal. Memories of those who had died using its power before I did, of their hopes and dreams, sorrows and unbearable pain. I now know that I can save myself from this terrible fate if I believe in myself; it is what Carian had always told me, and I cherish this knowledge as I summon forth dozens of attacks against my opponents...

What appear to be appendages spread forth from this elf and crash into the rocks and ships. She is attacking all present except her own party, and now I genuinely fear for the safety of my people. The goblins from the ash are being swatted aside like insects, and even Vey and Furora of the Chaos Paladins are struggling to defend against her. And now I can sense the callous tendrils of Xau-Tak rise from the depths as the fabled Underwater City breaks the ocean's surface rather close by. The elf leaves by her own, heading for the city, and now we are left on the islands as a colossal tsunami casts a translucent shadow over us.


I am coming for you, Xau-Tak! My husband and children will be free from your darkness!

Come at me, elf. Come at me along with the rest of these pathetic gods. I can assure you that nobody will be safe from the jaws of destiny which are opening to swallow this world as of now.
