***********PROCLIMATION******************
It has come to my attention that members of the Circle of Prevailing Peace took it upon theirselves to attack a member of my clan. I had not previously considered this group to be a threat, and therefore not a priority, but if they find it necessary to bring war to us, then they shall have it. The clan known to all by the acronym CoPP has survived this long because we Kings were merciful. This mercy is forgotten now.
Farg, HighKing of the Tainted Shade
They were outnumbered, but they felt the lust for battle that has overcome them both many times. Armanon and Marley lurked outside the bank, knowing that when certain members of Dominion completed their transactions, they mus come that way. Marley had placed the sacred stones on the altar as an offering up to Ahriman, a request for strength and luck.
The battle began sooner than either warrior had thought it would. Seems the mercenaries knew they were laying in wait. Ahriman had heard the plight of his soldiers though. Their strength was unmatched. They swiftly dealt damage to the soldiers of fortune. After sending his companions fleeing, the two tainted focused on an old soul within the Dominion, Sondy. He never stood a chance once he was all alone with the two bloodthirsty Shades. Marley put an end to him with twist of his dagger and relieved his body of the best pieces of armour.
The two returned to Castle Ahriman hours later. They came to share the tale of the battle with thier brethren. But, as they started to regale the others, LeStat burst in with news of two victories himself. It seems he had bested Sirus while the crusader sat drunken in Kjeldoran. And he also had taken out the leader of the Stygians, with the help of a friend. These victories could only indicate one thing. The realization of the Tainted destiny had begun.

I've recuped from my losses, I believe. The stiffness in
limbs is gone now. I have arranged to buy some new
armour and weaponry. Marley approached me this
morning to see if i was ready for action. He has been
out of the fray himself for almost a week. He took
heavy damage in a sneak attack by the Den of Inequity
members and a few rogue members of the Shadow
Church. We feared the injuries were more severe than
they were.
I assured Marley that I was indeed ready for blood. I
had much time to consider my revenge whilst my wounds
were healing. I have something in store for Kallin, and
Garland as well. A messenger has just brought me the
news that the Den has been seen prowling around the
Kjeldoran Park. I leave at once.
