"<Raises an eyebrow.> You defy the natural order of time by being here now without experiencing the events which led us to this point. BEGONE!"

"So, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting, Hero. We must know where your loyalties truly lie. Can we count on you in the fight against Drakath? Will you aid us as we crush all who would claim our throne?"

"How Can I Help?"

"So, you are a hero of GOOD? <She judges you carefully> You are granted passage within my Fortress as a result of the truce. Once Drakath has been defeated, I will finish the battle my Father started with your King!"

"So, you have chosen to be a Hero of Evil.... I shall test you to see if you are worthy of becoming my champion. Drakath will pay for what he has done! Then..."

"My army of darkness will conquer this land. We are UNSTOPPABLE!"

You say, "Excuse me... um.. your leader was ker'sploded and your fortress just crashed into the side of a mountain."

<clenches her teeth> Indeed. It is true. The Empire has been thrown into chaos. We have lost control of our forces and Villains from all over the world are coming to claim this throne for their own.

We must move swiftly to increase morale and prepare ourselves before the 1st Lord of Chaos arrives.

You say, "We could hang up some motivational posters and invest in some self-help tapes."

No... I must prove I am worthy to replace my Father. <forces back a tear> First I need a symbol of power that will command the respect of those coming to challenge my right to rule.... I need my Father's armor."

"You must travel to the Crypt in Swordhaven where the Knights are guarding my Father's cursed DoomKnight armor. Bring it back to me to earn my trust.... now go! Recover the cursed armor of Sepulchure!"

"Travel to the Crypt This is troubling. My Father's armor has been corrupted by Chaos. Thank you for returning it to me, hero!

His armor is not the only thing he left me. I found that my father had taken out an Unlife Insurance policy but it does not say for what amount."

"If I can get this paid out, I may be able to fix Shadowfall to its former glory, and hire an army to help take down Drakath!! You have proven your worth by returning my father's armor, now go to the King's Tax Collector to get the gold!"

"You've actually collected the policy? I'd heard getting money out of that Tax Collector is like getting bacon from a cow!

You say, You don't know how true that is...at least the Bacon part.

Well? How much was it for?! Give me that paper! One TREELI cough TRILLION GOLD?!! I'll be able to repair Shadowfall and hire all the mercenaries in the land! No-one will be more powerful than me! NO-ONE!"

"Thank you for your help. I need no further assistance HERE... but Drakath is wreaking havoc across Lore. King Alteon needs your help,

and in the interest of the alliance... I have to send you back there."

"Long unlive the Shadowscythe! <Within her unflinching eyes you see fire and determination> We must restore Empire to its former power and make Drakath pay for what he's did!"

"Thank you for your help. I need no further assistance HERE... but Drakath is wreaking havoc across Lore. Go to Chiral Valley and offer your assistant"

"Long unlive the Shadowscythe! <Within her unflinching eyes you see fire and determination> We must restore Empire to its former power and make Drakath pay for what he's done."

"Switch to Evil? I can see that you can to change to the side of Evil. Wise decision. Alteon the fool would have only brought you pain, poverty, and misery. The Shadowscythe Empire, on the other hand, can help you unleash your dark powers and desires!"

"Sepulchure My father would only honor the most skilled of his dark warriors. If you can prove to me that YOU are the most worthy, I will give you a gift that many have sought, but none have yet received... the helm of the Dark Lord Sepulchure, Leader of the Shadowscythe."

"Leader of the Shadowscythe"

"Huh? Yes, how can I help you?

"ON THE FACE?"

Gravelyn looks completely unamused

"Zombie goo, really? This is the third time this has happened this week. Don't tell me - this is some kind of weird hazing ritual for new Chaos recruits, isn't it?"

"It's good to see you, Hero! You have been given a singular honor, in recognition of your valor and victories. My home is now your home.

Where Shadowfall goes, you go, too."

"You are surprised to find me here? Don't be. I send my fiercest warriors out in the sun before ceremonies to bleach their bones white. It makes their skulls more intimidating against the dark metal of the armor. It's important to pay attention to the fine details; first impressions matter. LAST impressions splatter."

"The Tomb of the Blue Lotus, a house of death and the source of a newborn river. You might have visited it before to wrestle a croc, and now you're back to wrangle some annoying snakes. I'll wring their necks. You and Tara should just enjoy the trip."

"My Empire hunts the Shadows, and we didn't need Zhoom telling us what we already knew. He just had to go and get you involved. The Shadow Hunt is keeping my more bloodthirsty warriors busy. Destroying Ouroboros and his ilk will show them what happens to those who defy me. Then, I'll decide what happens to the Sandsea, the Yokai Isles, and Greenguard. You already know what's most important to me."

"I imprisoned the Mysterious Stranger that supposedly founded the Shadowscythe Empire. It keeps trying to tempt me with information about Ouroboros, Camlan, and... the previous Champion of Light... in exchange for talking to you. That isn't happening, and people are beginning to remember the Doom Triad we're hunting. The effects of Condemnatio Memoriae are wearing off."

"Pharaoh Zhoom isn't being upfront with you. It isn't out of malice, but I think he feels...inadequate. The rituals he's meant to conduct as Ruler of the Sandsea keep failing because the land itself doesn't believe he's qualified. His people want him to be their true Pharaoh, but Sek-Duat is still out there. Some, on the other hand, turn their backs to him. I heard Zhoom was a bounty hunter under Sek-Duat's employ before all this. Interesting."

"Two weeks ago, my father's sword begun laughing, but would not explain why. Six days ago, whispers begun to fill my throne room. And yesterday... the Necrotic Blade of Doom said I would want to be here, now. It seems we have much to discuss.

Discuss?Yes. As far as we know, my father's spirit is — mostly — trapped inside the shadows surrounding the Queen of Monsters. A FEW pieces of his spirit have resurfaced inside objects scattered around the world. Like in the Necrotic Blade of Doom."

"My Empire is here to hunt the Shadows that seek to usurp me. If the Paladins or the Sandsea's forces get trampled, it'll be their fault for getting in the way. If Pharaoh Zhoom wants to keep his throne and his people safe, he will need to prove himself. Perhaps you think I'm being too harsh. Maybe Zhoom should be solving his own problems instead of dragging you back into this mess. I know you want to investigate the Shadows, but...

ShadowsThe Metamorphosis Maw has been spotted slithering through the sands. I have no doubt that the Shadows are attacking the city of Duat, but these snakes are different from the ones we fought in Battleon and Camlan. Perhaps one of the other Condemned Shadows is gaining power, and it's manifesting as Chaos. Just looking at purple makes my blood boil. By the way, why are we dragging around that grave robber in the gray robes? Who is he?

TaraTara offered to fight alongside me outside the walls of the city, but I turned her down. It gets harder to do that the stronger she becomes. Having the 'Neutrality' card doesn't help things. Alright, it's only you here. I can say it out loud. It's difficult to be harsh with Tara. She looks up to me like I'm a hero, and I don't need to tell you how dangerous that is. Tara and Victoria...I've made up my mind, but where do we go from here?

LightTell Zhoom to keep his guard up, even with his supposed allies. The Lightguard aren't here out of the goodness of their hearts. They want something from the Sandsea, and Astero's dropping castle-sized hints that they'll use any excuse to take drastic action. If Pharaoh Zhoom proves to be a weak leader...I heard that Sek-Duat was originally a man from Greenguard who 'shone Light' on the Sandsea. What if that Light belonged to Celeritas'?"

"Hero. I didn't expect to see YOU here, but I should have known. You would be where the action is. Have you heard what the fear-guzzling, bug-eyed she-beast is doing? She is feeding. On children. On more than children. She's leeching power from the world itself.but i wont allow that the world can't be mine if nothing left of it to rule"

"My father, you know when Drakath shattered his spirit, I thought I'd lost him forever. And I soldiered on, because that's what he raised me to do. The ShadowScythe are MINE - and his return does not change that. But... I will not scorn his advice, or his strength and power. By using Akriloth as a vessel for his spirit, I have regained my father AND an army of beasts that may just turn the tide in this war. Will you fight with me?"

Alright, here's what we're going to do, New Friend! I know what Daddy needs for his Evil plans because I'm the bestest Undead Princess in the Fortress... AND I'm Daddy's favorite! So I'll tell you what to do, and you'll do it. ... What? That's how it ALWAYS works here! So GO!

"Daddy teaches me what I need to know to be the Evillest Princess in Lore. He is REALLY smart, and VERY Evil! He says one day, I'll be able to turn whole countries Undead, and they'll ALL listen to me, just like they do to him! Right now, I've only been able to make Chuckles. But he's my BESTEST friend!"

"Weak? Don’t look down on me. The water hasn’t melted me and the hallucinations aren’t showing me anything new. When we get in the cave, don’t hog that monster all to yourself. How dare it think it can peer into my mind. The Empress of the Shadowscythe is not swayed so easily by things that could never happen. I am not weak. I am not weak..."

"The invitation sounded like a joke to me. I almost tossed the card but then I received word that many were accepting the call. Turning the invitation down meant admitting defeat. If someone else won, you’d be stuck with a bore or a freak too. My father being here was a welcome surprise. That being said, my main goal is rescuing you. Forget about any worries you may have. I could rescue you in my sleep."

"You are a popular person. Very popular. It’s just a statement, I don’t mean anything by it. Warriors, scholars, even princess Victoria met me in battle. All fought tooth and nail to be here but I prevailed. I’d be insulted if you expected anything less from me. That’s it. The fights were a bloody affair. Why are you so curious about boring details? The competition isn’t over yet. I still need to win."

"Father is my main competitor. He is the Doomknight. The man who raised me and the Shadowscythe to its greatest height. I don’t blame you for being a bit interested, though I don’t plan to go easy on him. It’s our way of bonding. As for Safiria, I’m far from worried but I will give her credit. She’s a professional actress. Give her a closer look and you can tell she’s exha

usted from her battles. A gust of wind will do her in."
