Ballad of Ashen Flames

For the Greater Good

An Elysian Tale by Merijn

Synopsis

The Stygian Dissonance has been going for years and the end of the Sixth-hundreth Eclipse Year is nearing. Tensions are rising as the end of the Dissonance doesn’t seem to be coming any time soon. Hextor’s Arms have been sent to fight against the forces of Heironeous. After a long and tough fight, the forces of Hextor are forced to retreat all while the surviving Arms receive new orders of persuading the Dwarves of Zigil-Shatur. New intel showed that their leader, Adduriz Silvercrown, has passed away and his son and heir, Admeariz Silvercrown, is missing. This power vacuüm offers a perfect opportunity to gain more allies during the Dissonance.

However, ancient secrets and untold truths are hidden away in Zigil-Shatûr where it is revealed that this isn’t the first time the Cult of Hextor has been active. Can the remaining Arms of Hextor work together to achieve their goal? Or will they end up turning on each other in light of newfound knowledge.
