[QUOTE="Bandeeto, post: 82043, member: 2819"] Arcade’s Journal – Nostradis Ghend Finale, The Defenders are Born. ...behind the red curtain we found Mikal bound onto a scarred, blood-soaked altar. Runnels led to a prepared spell parchment. Praise the gods, he was unharmed. Sadly we were too late to save Maddoc. We found his mutilated body.
