[QUOTE="Dantardis, post: 6024134, member: 46174"] Blackhaven was a dark dingy town, perched on the edge of nowhere, on the way to nowhere. Arriving at the gate David asked two of the guards on duty if they had heard of the cult of the Whispering Way. "I don't know about that", answered one of the guards, you best see Marshal Bennet." Taken to Bennet;s office they asked him for more details, he advised he wasn't able to help them with their cult problem but perhaps they could help him with his. He continued: "The War of the Four Kingdoms - Gallantaria, Femphrey, Brice and the Northlands - almost tore the Old World apart, but the four sides turned away from the abyss and made a fragile peace which has lasted up to the present day. Yet this peace is constantly being eroded by the many agents of Chaos who seek to aggravate old rivalries. The Old World can never know true peace until its barbaric past is finally laid to rest." "High in the Brician ranks was Karam Gruul-the Inquisitor General. Gruul was swift in urging Brice to war, and his was the guiding intellect and the dark magics which lay behind many of Brice's military successes. It was he who prepared the murderous fire-traps along Brice's borders; he who had thousands of war prisoners dragged, screaming, into his Tower of Inquisition, where horrific deeds were perpetrated; he who tortured and killed peaceful Bricians with his 'traitor-hunts'; he who assasinated his fellow generals when they spoke out against him; and, finally, it was he who remained unseen and unknown while his men died on foreign soil. Not for nothing was Gruul nicknamed the 'Hand of Death". "When peace finally came, a condition of the armistice was that Gruul should be made to stand trial for his crimes against humanity. But the warmongering Brician king claimed that Gruul had died in the Last Battle and that his body was but one of thousands ploughed under the earth. Moreover, the king denied any knowledge of Gruul's atrocities and he ordered that all mention of Gruul be erased from his country's histories and monuments.
