2056 A.C
"Name one hero that was happy..." - ???
The Beginning
The sky is shrouded in darkness, Helheim's fires rage on, and Meranthe is haunted by the stench of ashes and death itself... What was once an Empire is now nothing, demonic hordes pave what remains of the streets, eldritch tendrils wither through the fabrics of life, blood is splattered throughout tainting the soils, a battle that felt like a lifetime, one that would rage on through the merciless night, an end for some but only the beginning for others.

There has been an upsurge in the population of demons and skeletons throughout the north, and there are rumors of The Deep continuing their march, The Monarch in the middle of it all, and a red moon eclipse on the horizon. More witches and warlocks are being spotted publicly practicing sabbaths, while others have migrated to the open regions to preach The Deep One's path.
Even while one thing is claimed to be sure...
Helheim's flames will bring about Change.
No candle is lit, no sword is carried aloft in memory of those who have perished; instead, a mountain of corpses is offered in name, blazing in flames from the unfathomable pits of the abyss.
...
Following The Imperfects' assassination, little time is spent in filling the ranks, and the Demonic Dragon of Meranthe Grisha is now dubbed The Wyrm; Mariona, Queen of the Undead, is now Lady Pandaemonium, restoring order once again, The Trifecta of darkness.
Quote:"I knew all the possible outcomes, I seen the world crippled and crumbling. I felt the pain before it passed, yet the burden of such causalities strikes deeper than observable. For Helheim's Champion alongside the Lord of Change cannot be forgotten as the ripples will persist for centuries to come.Ebbing through the world like a twisting vine is the alteration their ambitions swept across Meranthe, I feel it, I see it growing like a grand plague. And I see the finish line, I see the real change that is coming. And none of you can possibly be prepared for it.Time is the only factor remaining, such will see the work complete. I have seen the end."(Lord of Time - Xarxes)
- The Empire has fallen, the siege a success, Vdalion is only ashes, and there has been a considerable rise in the number of demons and dreadful creatures spanning from The Deep Hold up to the very mountains where their presence is felt.
- Even with the Lord of Change gone, whispers continue to permeate Meranthe. The Monarch will grant large prizes to those who bring him any Nephilim, but the reason for this remains unknown... However, vast sums of currency, as well as resources and knowledge, are still available.
- Deep Hold continues to provide Necromancy courses to Horde members, and word has it that something new is in the pipeline for those looking to advance.
- According to recent occurrences, The Deep Hold rumbles with life, something enigmatic and menacing reeks from beneath the forts, and change was on the way...
- With The Monarch in command, a new Prophet raises a new hand of The Deep One's fury, driven by His anger, to disseminate his message. Xananxa The Whispers of Obliteration.
