Lore & Dialog

From the many Aluvian, Gharu'ndim, and Sho towns which dot Dereth, the sound of town criers making an announcement can be heard:

"People of Dereth - if you would help fight the Viamontian invaders, come to Holtburg, where Antius Blackmoor, seneschal to Her Majesty Queen Elysa, is currently organizing an expedition to protect Glenden Wood from the invaders who have so cruelly sacked it!"

"Although all are welcome, only those who have achieved the eightieth level of experience will be able to proceed very far into the mission."

---

"Move swiftly if you wish to aid your country - Antius will depart within fifteen minutes from now."

---

Antius Blackmoor has gathered his forces.

He departs now for the town of Glenden Wood, to attempt to free it from the Viamontian invaders.

---

Antius Blackmoor is entering the North Glenden Prison at 31.8N, 25.5E with an armed group in an attempt to retake Glenden Wood.

---

Antius Blackmoor has begun to open a portal from the bottom of the North Glenden Prison into what appears to be the main headquarters of the Viamontians in the Glenden Wood area.

---

Commander Jared Kurth's sword pulses red as it sinks into Antius Blackmoor's heart.

The sword explodes in a blinding flash as Antius falls, slain.

Commander Jared Kurth raises his arms in a ritual of bestial triumph, snarling at the observers of this struggle, daring them to assault him.

Antius Blackmoor's corpse looks very pallid on the floor...there is not evidence that he has returned to his lifestone at all.

---

The body of Antius Blackmoor is now lying in state in the Yanshi Allegiance Hall. Mourners may pay their respects to the fallen seneschal of Queen Elysa.
