Spoiler: Spoiler

In the aftermath of the Temple’s desecration, the Ash Lands continued to spread unchecked throughout the Land of Dreams, laying claim to the whole of it, before spreading into the marshes and beyond. The Honor Blade’s connection to the light destroyed forever, taking away their only source of magic.

Eventually, through the help of the Fae’lonic Order of Guardians, the Ash Lands were halted at the borders of Borathas, the Open Plains, and the Red Lands. But by that point much of the Dwarven Domains were cut off from the rest of the world, as well as Cyropia.

With nothing to be done, but hold the lines, armies were marshalled and sent to battle against the hosts of darkness that began to grow increasingly number and attack in the dead of night. Their armies led by former Honor Blades who called themselves the Glorious Fate, and sought the destruction of the world.

Halmark

Halmark though badly wounded at Grey’s hands, somehow survived his captivity, and fled south away from the Land of Dreams, where he is forever haunted by the screams of those he failed to protect.

Kradock

His people slaughtered and enslaved by the Fated. The goblin chieftain was eventually killed in battle, fighting alongside the Honor Blades for one last chance to redeem his tribe.

Calain

Returning to his home Vanclar, Calain had seen more than enough of the world and counselled his father to keep his people in isolation from the rest of the world.

Lorel

Distraught over the loss of so many of her friends, Lorel became a broken shell that wandered through the ruins of Citadel. The skills Grey had taught her, keeping her alive as she fought to survive.

The Fated after a time, gave her a new name, Destiny, for when she struck, death was sure to follow.

Falkneer

Aggrieved over the loss of the Citadel, Falkneer tried to rebuild the Order in the Red Lands, but too few souls were willing to join him.

In the end, he took up his greatsword and disappeared off into the Ash Lands never to return.

Glydel

Healed of his sickness, Glydel gave up his life to protect Lorel. The young albino almost single handedly tearing apart half a dozen Ash Spawn, before being delivered up into the Hall of Heroes.

Lord Colmar

His anger unquenched, Colmar went on to rebuild his army, and gather new allies as he set his sights on the heartland of Coroleya.

Lord Rykon

Another casualty in the war that engulfed the world, Lord Rykon was finally convinced to give up the safety of his home, and take the Ardents into battle where he was slain by the warrior now known as Dark Steel.

Amaryllis

Slain by her childhood friend, Amaryllis last thoughts were of her mother and father, and the little girl that had stood at the temple’s gates.

Sky

Having heard what Grey had done to Amaryllis, Sky fell into despair for a time, before returning to his village to stand with them in their final moments.

Grey

Now known as Dark Steel, Grey became one of Colmar’s most stalwart allies and most famed generals in his war to destroy the world and reshape it. Though tortured in spirit by his decision to turn his back on those he cared about, he soon realised that there was more to life after the darkness as the Ash Lands slowly transformed and brought something new and unknown to the world.

Tamrel

Despite everything Grey had put him through, Tamrel remained by Grey’s side, though his life essence gradually diminished, until he faded away, and all that was left was a ugly lump of metal that was soon discarded aside.

Kradock

Given a place by Dark Steel’s side. The goblin chieftain after having his fill of battle was allowed to return home to the mines with what remained of his people to live out the rest of their days.

Spoiler: Spoiler

In the aftermath of the Colmar’s death, the Ash Lands much to everyone’s surprise, began to withdraw back, allowing the lords of the land to provide aid to Citadel in her struggle to reclaim the castle from her invaders.

Once the Fated and their allies were defeated, and the Citadel restored to her rightful owners, a new First Blade of Light was chosen to lead a force into the Ash Lands and take the battle to the enemy, which had left behind thousands of Ash Spawn to roam about freely, before being hunted down.

The new commander on the advise of the Hero, also chose to stick to the old ways that had served them so well in the past, the Honor Blades continuing their eternal struggle against all the creatures of darkness.

Halmark

Saved by the Hero and his allies, Halmark spent his days helping to rebuild the Citadel and train the new generation of Honor Blades. After awhile though, he grew to dislike the masters insistence on claiming all the darker races should be exterminated, and eventually went his own way.

Kradock

Seen as nothing more than monsters to be hunted down by the Honor Blades, Kradock gave his life away in the hopes of allowing his people a chance at escape.

Calain

As a trusted ally of the Hero, Calain voiced his concerns many times over the needless slaughter of innocents, including the butchery of the goblins, but for the most part he was ignored.

Having hoped the newly rebuilt Order would be different, he tried for many years to persuade Grey to intervene, and speak sense to the counsel, but when alas that failed as well. He grew angry and bitter, and left for Vanclar, where he counselled his father to remain isolated from the rest of the world.

Lorel

A devoted follower of Grey Steel, Lorel became his student, and a master swordsman without parallel, almost equal to that of Grey Steel himself.

In time, she surpassed him as well, and would become the First Blade of Light at the Citadel. It wasn’t long after that she was poisoned for her views on the darker races and their treatment.

Falkneer

Old, and set in his ways, Falkneer was given the role of advisor to the First Blade of Light and was determined to rebuild the Citadel and make it even greater than it was before. But having no stomach for politics, he grew to hate his new role and return to teaching pupils, before passing away in his sleep.

Glydel

Strangely enough, the albino minotaur became well liked within the Citadel, and was seen as a symbol of divine luck that any could return to the light. Unfortunately this message was short lived, and after Lorel’s death, he fled south, and vanished over the mountains.

Lord Colmar

At peace at last, Colmar rejoined his family in the afterlife.

Lord Rykon

Having been the one to see the Citadel fall so low, Lord Rykon chose to step down as the First Blade of Light, and elected his Second Lord Derell to take his place.

Amaryllis

Glad to be reunited with her friends, Amaryllis spent a great deal of time in the Temple’s library, whilst also helping to rebuild Citadel.

Taught how to master her magic, she remained there for a time, learning as much as could, before returning home with Grey Steel.

Sky

While joyful at the news of Colmar’s defeat, Sky who had never truly had a master or a home of his own, decided to leave and wander the land, where he became famous for his skills with a knife.

Having returned to the Citadel to check up on his friends, he re-joined Grey’s side, and left for home.

Grey

Proclaimed the Hero, Grey spent a few more years in the Citadel training under the guidance of Falkneer and the other surviving masters, before returning home with Amaryllis and Sky to mourn the loss of his dear Uncle Cold Steel.

In time, Grey chose to leave the village again, but this time his feet turned east and to what lay beyond.

Tamrel

Happy to have been bonded to a soul that was pure of heart, Tamrel gained even greater powers and abilities which he shared with Grey Steel.

The new commander on the advise of the Hero, chose to break away from the old ways, and reform the Honor Blades so their attention was focused towards the protection of all races, including those deemed to be of the ‘lesser race’.

Halmark

Saved by the Hero and his allies, Halmark spent his days helping to rebuild the Citadel and train the new generation of Honor Blades. Given new hope by the changes he saw in the Citadel, he stayed there for many more years, before leaving to travel the land for awhile.

Kradock

Given a seat on the Counsel of Blades as an honorary member of the Citadel, Kradock spent most of his days trying to ensure the safety and protection of his people. He was also the voice of reason that kept the Honor Blades and goblins from each others throats.

Calain

As a trusted ally of the Hero, Calain voiced his many concerns to the Counsel over the treatment of the darker races, and with the backing of the Hero, much was changed to ensure that the doctrines would punish all those that would slay a goblin or any of the darker races without provocation.

Staying there in the Citadel to ensure the new laws would be followed, Calain eventually returned home, and counselled his father to allow those from the outside to come to their homeland, see its wonders for themselves, and share in it's vast knowledge.

Lorel

A devoted follower of Grey Steel, Lorel became his student, and a master swordsman without parallel, almost equal to that of Grey Steel himself.

In time, she surpassed him as well, and would become the First Blade of Light at the Citadel. Even long after her death which came many years later, she would later be remembered as the one to bring a golden era of peace and prosperity to the land.

Falkneer

Old, and set in his ways, Falkneer grew to become frustrated and angry with the amount of changes that had taken place in the Citadel, but with his trust placed in Grey Steel, he chose to remain silent for a time, and return to training new recruits for testing.

Glydel

Strangely enough, the albino minotaur became well liked within the Citadel, and was seen as a symbol of divine hope that any could returned to the light. However while his new fame was short lived, Glydel spent the rest of his days in the Citadel where he met his new wife, was married, and kept a life of peace.
