State of Meranthe

[GSM]

Year 2072 AC

 The Demon King has awakened.

Skarnfel has been tirelessly churning out warriors of true darkness, a resurgence in the fel forces of the Shadowlands. With the coming of the third Imperfect, the Spawn of Sak'noth, Na'Ria has become something of a deific figure within the legions of Hel's grand design.

All would bear witness to the Ascendant, upon darkened wings.

All would behold the Lord of Knowledge, the once-Owldrake claiming their birthright.

All hail mine.

With a failed attempt at claiming one of theirs came the beating of those wings of Hel, the Imperfect shedding its skin upon the fields of battle. The demonic legion has grown in ferocity, accordingly, with the arrival of the Ascendant. The undead within Skarnfel are beginning to proliferate within like a Hel curse, growing to an insurmountable degree by Xarxes, The Lord of Time's whims.

And those that stood against Skarnfel, those that stood to destroy the Obelisk of the End, would find an insurmountable force emboldened by the powers that reside within the lands of Hel. With raucous resistance, the tides of history were beginning to shift.

Times were changing. The time for change was now.

• The Obelisk of the End has become a true garrison of the fel legions, with demons constantly on patrol at and around it. Rumor has it that an assassination attempt was placed on the Owldrake's life, shortly before its Ascension, but this cannot be verified in its entirety, as it is but illusory whispers upon the wind. In any case, the Archdemon yet lives, and stronger than before. A poor omen for the future of Meranthe, surely.
  

• The spawn of Na'Ria have proliferated and assimilated within the ranks of Skarnfel, expected to grow quickly due to their ancestry directly leading towards Sak'noth, the Lord of Change, and now with direct parentage to the Lord of Knowledge. With the forces having been slightly diminished, culled by the hands of Delphinian royalty, it appears that this move shifted into the role from what was once a simple curiosity to a necessary act.
  

• The Lord of Time, Xarxes, has been heralding in a new age of his own make, alongside the work of Archon Na'Ria's machinations. The future appears grim, as Time conspires against all; with his power growing by the day, and the new Ascendant standing shoulder to shoulder with him, something malicious must yet appear upon the horizon.
