Domerth was reading the tome he found in the Blackstone Fortress. It was an interesting manuscript indeed as the knowledge held in it shifted and changed constantly, as obeying to the wishes of whoever read it. As if the relic was... Alive. Domerth now studied the map of Magitara, which showed the locations of all the Blackstone Fortresses. Twenty seven dots, twenty seven citadels of ancient heritage. Six of the dots were green, while the rest were either crimson red or black. But Domerth had visited only five, including the one he visited with his new allies. Near the dots were symbols. Nine bore a wolf's head. Other nine a bird's talon. The last nine bore a symbol of a clawed gauntlet clenching a fist. The fortresses were built in some sort of pattern, which Domerth didn't quite understood right now.
Suddenly the saphires in the blades hilt pulsated with light and then blacked out. Domerth then wandered what's that all about. The book's pages turned themselves and provided Domerth with the answer for the question he asked. It seemed that the little light show indicated that the final piece was nearby. The book again turned several pages and drew the precise map of Merinanth's central island, Andugg. A strange blue rune indicated that the blade was held in the palace keep.
- A fortunate turn of events- Domerth whispered to himself.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN IMPOSSIBLE TO REFORGE?!- An old bald man in grotesque armor yelled at one of his generals. His handsome facial features were long gone, and now only terrible scars 'decorated' the man's face. He sported two pairs of small horns growing from his forehead, and his eyes were filled with bloodlust.
- I do not know how to tell you this great one. The remnant of the blade... It's...
- IT'S WHAT?!
- It seems like it's alive. And already has a master. Only he who wields it's soul can wield the blade. And from what the warlocks saw he who wields it is coming.
- WHO IS HE?
- The warlocks who commited the ritual went mad. I had to kill them.
- REALLY? Interesting. No matter. LET HIM COME! THE GREAT KHARNESH HUNGERS!
The general bowed down and left the throne room. The old man returned to watch a sadomasochistical orgy taking place right here in the throne room.

Salim was sparring with Leonadros near the campsite in the woods. Leonadros, though strong was just not quick enough to block Salim's lighting fast strikes. Instead, Leonadros used his spear's wide berth to his advantage and swung around him, nearly smacking Salim in the face. Salim grinned and ducked under it. He then grabbed the spear away from Leonadros and held up a dagger to his throat.
"Alright, alright, you win, Salim." said Leonadros, who was breathing heavily.
Salim smiled and then helped Leonadros up. He then heard a light female laugh. He turned and then saw Domerth's sister.
"Ah. Milady. It is good to see you. How may we be of service?" said Salim as he bowed. Leonadros followed shortly after.

- I am just walking around the camp, checking the morale of my men. You two seem to be in a good mood.- She handed them two folded pieces of azure cloth- Tabards of Merinanth. Everyone in service to the throne are wearing them. -Rebeca turned serious instantly- I expect no acts of cowardice tommorow. Either we win or we die trying.- She walked away from the two, and went towards the shore. The wind of the evening was a pleasant one. She looked to the north. Light of bonfires lighted the sky over Andugg. Only the Lord of thunder knew what disgusting rituals are taking place there right now. From what Jelm had told, it seemed that the fanatic warriors raided fishing villages, killing some and enslaving the rest. The pope is busy baptising pagan lands and the norse jarls are too busy fighting eachother to actually notice a threat huge as this. Though looking confidend and determined on the inside, she is fearing the worst.

Glendon strode down into the valley, marveling about how the landscape had changed in the years he was asleep. As he strode through the thick woods, he suddenly heard a growl. He whipped out his sword and crouched down in a battle position. Suddenly, he was bowled over by a large, white wolf.
"Lorry! It's you!" he cried joyfully, dropping the sword and hugging the animal.
"How long have I been asleep? 2000 years?! I wonder why I woke up, then..."
The wolf shrugged. Glendon picked up his sword and sheathed it, and the two companions went on their way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The gold-skinned jinn quietly followed the duo, thinking to himself, "Glendon is awake again? This is getting more interesting by the minute."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Evelgor hurriedly rode back west, followed by his blood drake and skeletal troops. He had work to do.

Salim and Leonadros tried their tabards on. Salim's tabard fit him perfectly, wheras Leonadros' was too small for him. He complained a little bit, but eventually Salim shut him up. They then walked back to the campsite.

Osseric waited for a set period of time, the reptile did not respond. Osseric disconnected the magical link and his mind went to the here and now again. He folded the piece of paper he had been making calculations on into his jerkin.
Osseric spotted Lady Rebeca standing on the shore, watching the nightsky. He noticed that in the moonlight, and if he squinted slighty, she bore some resemblance to his late second daughter. Theophany was a fine girl and she married into a good family, she had been the least troublesome of Osseric's late children.
Osseric moved to stand next to her.
"The moon looks different....in these lands, though she lost nothing...of her beauty. Everything goes as....planned?"

Evelgor broke camp, allowing his panting horse to finally rest. He looked around, examining his troops. The skeleton sat down and began sharpening their weapons, while the blood drake haughtily devoured a deer it had caught earlier. Evelgor smiled. This would surely be the destruction of those bothersome intruders.

- Our will is strong, the men are in good heart. The norsemen are fierce warriors, they never miss a good fight. They're loyal to their jarl to the end. So to answer your question Osseric, the plan goes well so far.- Rebeca turned to the campsite. The men feasted, drank and danced. Some alone, some with their ladies. All of them wanted to take everything from this evening, because for some it will be their last.

Osseric bothered not to turn around and continued gazing to the nightsky. He felt the sight of him unnerved Rebeca. Perhaps because she, a fellow practitioner of magic, could feel his connection to the Underworld.
"Let me rephrase then. How do you plan to...take the city in...the morrow? As your late brother....may have told you, I do not....answer to him. So I will join only...if it furthers my...own goals."
A chilling wind blew in from the sea, making Osseric's fine satin robes flutter.
"So if you whish...my aid, I will need to know...your plans."

- The enemy does not make use of archers nor crossbowmen. At the initial assault their warlocks blinded the garrisoned defenders, then their men rushed to the towers and slaughtered them. The magic wielders were few however, and most likely the largest part was killed by my lightning storm. The siege of the palace lasted only a few hours. With no ranged troops to back us up we were beaten quickly. But this defeat gave us an insight on their weakness. Their only ranged troops are unarmored men who use throwing axes. Our initial plan is to launch an offensive towards the palace. When the troops land, the defenders will rush towards them. Some will be killed by our archers. After we have dealt with them we move towards the palace, dealing with the remaining enemy forces. The last, and most powerfull heap will reside in the throne room. We won't need for any siege engines, because uncle is very confident in his new subjects' brutish strenght and didn't bothered to rebuild the walls and gates. As said before, no one engages the overlord in combat. He is mine and Domerth's. But where were you when we discussed the assault? -She looked at Osseric- nevermind. Tell me necromancer, how good you are at reanimating corpses?

"My reanimation skills depend...on the duration and the material I am forced...to work with. The more damaged the body...the less effective...it is in undeath. Permanent servants require...nearly intact specimens. Temporary arrow-fodder will work... as long as they...have their limbs attached."
Osseric paused shortly, he felt a magical tug at his mind. He blocked it before continued.
"Tell me, what do you...plan with them?"

- They'd be a perfect way to create a mess within enemy ranks and reduce their numbers. Even if they are reanimated for a few moments. - Rebeca looked at the sky. The stars and the moon were unusually bright. - I guess I'll see you on the battlefield tommorow.

- You will be well rewarded, you can trust me on this.- Said Rebeca, and walked towards the camp. Most of the men already went to sleep, save for a few. She sat near Domerth, who was studying an arcane tome.
- How are you feeling brother?
Domerth closed the book.
- Honestly? I feel furious. We will kill uncle, once and for all this time. I'm confident with this.
- But what's next?
- We'll sail back to Magitara, and settle there. In my travels I saw a great lake with a chain of islands in the middle. I think that's the perfect place to rebuild Merinanth.
- Our kingdom... Reborn in that land? I am willing to take that chance.

The night before the battle was to come, Salim slept, yet uneasily. He had a dream of a fiery monster killing and tormenting innocent folk by the dozen. Salim stepped forth and challenged the beast. They both fought for a long time, when eventually Salim came out on top. Then Salim started transforming into the very thing that he had defeated...
"AHH!" yelled out Salim as he woke up with a start. Noticing that he was just in a tent in the camp, he calmed down, yet felt slightly nauseous. After a while, he donned his clothes and light armor, as well as buckling on his sword and daggers then left the tent. By a still, pristine pond stood Rebeca within the morning mist. Salim decided not to disturb her and silently sat down on a boulder behind her.

Tael walked over to Salim and touched the other mans shoulder in greeting. "I haven't been present during the discussions about the assault, what are the plans?"

"I suggest you speak to Domerth or Rebeca about it. I know that will be mainly employed at hunting down the enemy Warlocks and such given that my sword's new abilities allow to do so." replied Salim quietly, trying not to disturb Rebeca.

By looking at the pond, Rebeca conjured a spell which allowed her to observe a specified area, Andugg this time. Almost all of the island was covered in urban terrain. She concentrated on the palace and the main street. Few patrols and no sign of the main force. They must've left for another raid. She did felt two strong magical energies flowing from the palace. One was uncle's no doubt. The second one was strange, yet oddly familiar.
- It seems that the gods favor us. Only a small defence force remains, protecting the overlord. The time to strike is now!- she said to Salim and Tael.- Don't just stand there, go wake the others!
- That won't be necesary, sister.- Said Domerth, approaching them. On top of his armor he was wearing a merinanthian tabard and a cloak made from wolf pelts. The cloak came with a wolf's head, which covered the left pauldron. His hair were loose, and he didn't wore his blindfold. In his arms he carried a folded cloak, just like the one he wore. He handed it to Rebeca. The cloak gracefully landed on her shoulders.
- All are awake and ready. They await only your command.
As the group approached the campsite, they were saluted by raising the weapons to the sky. The norsemen saluted by shouting a booming "HEY-Y-Y - JAA!"
- I won't talk much. Today we will fight and die together! Today is our victory day! To the ships!- Rebeca shouted with fiery determination in her voice. Stormclouds gathered and the sound of thunder was heard.
- A bad omen- Said Leonardos.
- Wrong ensign. This is the best omen. Parkkun, the Lord of Thunder rides to battle with us.- Said Domerth while boarding "The Unyielding".- We will provail today.

Osseric and his minions boarded the ship last. He had calculated a way to turn this battle into a sure profit. If he mass-sacrificed the souls of the slain to the God of Death, the power he would grant Osseric in return would be more than sufficient to raise the fallen enmasse. The goodwil of his Lord would be sure to do some good after this. The riches that were promised would be nice, but that was a liability. There was no guarantee the assault would succeed.
Osseric waved his hand, when they were all aboard. His fingers aglow, he muttered a few unspeakable words. Soon Ghosts appeared on and around the ship. The lost souls shrieked and howled, they began to swarm the ship and circled around it. With more unspeakable words, Osseric bound the lost souls to his will for the time being. His hand raised in the air and his gingers emenating a black glow, the ghosts as one stopped. As one they howled in agony and faded out of existence. They would appear when Osseric commanded so.
He saw that many members of the strikeforce were staring and gaping at him.
"Victory or Death." He said with his morose voice. The men joined in the cheer, whooping and shouting. Osseric grinned, as either would suit him fine.

Upon setting foot onto Andugg, Domerth saw the atrocities that his uncle commited. Entire families, from newborns to crones have been crucified and crows now feasted on their decaying bodies. Various pets, cats, dogs and alike were hanged, it seemed all of this was done just for the fun of it. Seeing these acts only further infuriated Domerth.
- ONWARDS! LEAVE NONE OF THEM STANDING!- he, along with Rebeca and Jelm led the forces. They hid before a wall of mist, which moved in front of the troops.
- Hey, what is with that mist?- a guard wearing a jackal mask
- Nothing exceptional. Get used to it! A fog like this is a common thing in these islands.- replied another, with a boar mask. Their armor were red with gold trim and were encrusted with fine jewels. The two wielded large battleaxes.
- HEEEY-JAAAAA!- the norsemen battle cry erupted from the mist, and Jelm's berserkers charged forward, brutally dismembering the two patroling soldiers. The mist cleared and the rest of the strike force clashed with the enclosing defenders. Domerth and Rebeca made their way to the palace. They walked trough an avenue leading towards the palace. Instead of trees there were statues of all past rulers, the kings and queens of Merinanth. All of them were badly damaged. The two were joined by Jelm and several others. Domerth didn't cared who came along, as long as they can be of some use in the upcoming fight.
