Over the ages a single organization has dominated and controlled much of
Theran politics. Through subtle machinations or outright acts of violet
brutality, this group of dark minded individuals has been a force to be
reckoned with. All the while they have been lead by the hands of the Dark
Lords, never truly understanding the reason nor the path that they were
led down. Millenia had come to pass, empires rose and fell, nearly all
the world had changed, yet this house of dark hunters remained unphased..
unchanged. For it had seemed that Dark Lords that once actively guided
these rare shadowwalkers had deserted them and left them to their own
vices. But that was not the case. It was within the annals of these
millenia that the Dark Lords brooded over the fate of their chosen. For
lifetime upon lifetime, these assassins have fed the furnaces of the Dark
Lords hate and greed. These assassins have, willingly or unwillingly,
raised the Dark Lords above that of Lords of Light through their hunting
and deathbringing. How should the Dark Gods reward their faithful
servants, the Ancients? A compromise was reached amongst the Dark Lords to
gift upon them the 'Blessing of Saddussars', a rite so unholy and
dispesicable, that all other mortals blanch at the mere mention of it. It
is the Kiss of quasi-immortality. The Bane of the living.
The Ancients would be raised upon high for their service, as was promised
to them millenia upon millenia ago. The Ancients are to be exalted and
granted the power that will allow them to smother the lands from corner to
corner with their Dark Power. They will break the land with their might.
All in their sight will be as they were meant to be... prey and food. Prey
are the ones that consider themselves powerful, invincible, above each and
every living thing. These are the true targets for the Ancients fangs.
These powerful ones pose the greatest threat to the surivival of the house
at large and should be culled with the greatest and most brutal methods
possible. The weak.. the sheep... are nothing more than food for the
Ancients as they hunt for their true prey. They are not a threat, merely
scenery in the journey of life and are to be summarily ignored, unless they
seek to rise above their station and gain the attention of the Ancients.
This of course is not to be tolerated and thus they must be taught their
lesson.
"All that lives can and will die."
