[QUOTE="pneumatik, post: 4727756, member: 21087"] [b]Prelude: Rashelle[/b] [b]Prelude[/b] [b]Rashelle[/b] It wasn't a good time to be anti-Ragesian in Gate Pass, especially not if you were in the City Guard. It was clear the city council planned on welcoming the Scourge with open arms, and they were having the Guard lock up all the magic users they could find as a present to their conquerors.
