Message: <blockquote data-quote="Canaan" data-source="post: 3704165" data-attributes="member: 40239">JarothJaroth is clearly uncomfortable.  "Friends, we must hurry.  Several members of the Order Drakar close  on this position as we speak.  These creatures do not merely possess the Dark Fire.  They have terrible claws and whisper dark secrets and lies that can make one go mad.  I fear they may overwhelm us."  Jaroth picks up the robes of the fallen members of the order and shoves them into his satchel.  "I must burn these."After a moment he speaks again.  This time with a far away expression.  "They were once human.  Members of my Order.  Against all caution and warnings by our Council, their leader delved deep into forbidden and ancient arcane lore.  With caution thrown to the wind, he become obsessed with the forbidden arts.  The magic twisted him and blackened his soul.  Others followed him, hungry for the power that could be theirs and deceived by his wicked lies.  They too became twisted.  Eventually they were discovered and banished, but not without a terrible cost.  Many of my Order died that day.""Whereas my Order seeks to unify the races of the Four Lands and bring peace to its people, the Order Drakar seeks to subjugate the races under the will of their leader, known now only as The Warlock Lord.""Very few others know of this struggle or of the existence of The Warlock Lord.  Of those that do, many ignore the threat for fear that addressing it will start a mass panic or weaken their authority to rule.  They will continue to ignore the threat until it is on their very doorstep, I fear.""There is one other thing.  It is in the North that The Warlord and his minions were banished.  It is in the North that we now find ourselves.  Deep into their lands.  It was clearly their intention to bring the book I now carry to the Warlock Lord.  I must spirit it away from here quickly.  I must bring it back to my Order.  They will know what it is and how to destroy or seal it away so that the Order Drakar cannot reach it.  So much effort they put into getting this book, it must be very important to the Order Drakar."His face clears and he focuses on his companions.  "The way will be difficult and fraught with peril. Would you accompany me on this mission?"</blockquote>
