WORLD WAR Meranthe 22nd Century

"So this is it? Unable to keep your word? Very well."

At first, it's easy to understand the Oracle's short response - he is, after all, notoriously hateful of what he deems as monologues. And yet, after a few minutes within the square of Gloomlight as the crowds gather to hear their leader's fabled words he chews on what's been handed to him, proverbially, and eventually spits out a like minded retort.

"When Rued Silvanas ruled Serenity, he worked with Melione Hiraeth. He paraded the idea that he had slain her within the Tower of Aetius like he was a trained performing monkey taught a cheap circus trick, while continuously refusing to show proof of a body or anything. After his death, his son became her puppet upon strings. All of those years Serenity was nothing but a front for the Coven of Denath - the Coven which saw my Uncle's death. The Coven which utilized Prospera as a front before it moved onto Serenity and performed unspeakable acts there. The Coven which also squatted within the Crescent Isle, and helped those of the Grand Guignol and the Atrellyan Witches.

For generations Serenity has been led by Clan Silvanas, and by extension, Melione Hiraeth, no better than blind slaves.
For generations Serenity has been given the grace to try and correct their mistakes on their own... And for a while, I held hope.

And then you had to get a death magi within your midst.

It's very amusing that you refer to yourselves as a pack, and as wolves. I suppose I'll add another wolf pelt to my collection.

As for Aeric? Perhaps one day, you'll understand that a man is only as good as his word.
I held out hope for you. I trusted you. I believed in you.
When you told me you understood the dangers Serenity posed, as well as Basili I thought you got it...

It's a shame you're just another idiot within the sands."

Gloomlight defends their home, as they always have.
