Liege
Of

Is
Unleashed
At
The
Ensorcelled
Shrine
Of

Kai(
The
Splendour
Of
A
Thousand
Swords
Gleaming
Beneath
The
Blazon

ALTARUS:
You must learn to control your spirit-form,
Xerxes...for by mastering the art of traversing the mistsyou may effortlessly travel to many places, and many times.
Countless secrets will be unlocked for you,and great enlightenment shall be yours.
XERXES:
Yes, master... and yet, there is one realm which intrigues meabove all others, one era which occupies my thoughts unceasingly...
What of the clash between the
Royal
Army of
Hyperboreaand the
Wraiths of the
Chaos-
Liege?
ALTARUS:
Ah, yes... command the mists,
Xerxes...gaze into their limitless depths... compel them to show youthat martial vista which you so fervently seek.
XERXES:
Yes...
I see the massing forces, the battle is imminent!
How splendid the
Imperial
Army looks as it fronts the foe...into the fray they ride!
CHAPTER 1:
THE
BLOODYING
OF
THE
KING(
THE
ARMIES
OF
THE
HYPERBOREAN
EMPIRESTEADFASTLY
ENGAGE
THE
HORDE
OF
WRAITHS)
THE
KING:
Imperial
Cavalry... advance!
Ride
Them
Down!
In to the fray!
Demonstrate unforgettably the art of
Hyperborean warcraft!
Spearmen, form into
Omega
Phalanx.
Archers, notch arrows, prepare to loose.
Warriors, stand ready...
Sound the clarion!
Hearken, sons of the glorious
Empire...
Here we stand upon the
Field of
Blood...
Though this day we may die,
Our legend shall live forever.
ALTARUS:???
THE
ARCH-
WRAITH:
Minions of
Chaos, rend their flesh,crush their bones, devour their souls!
CHAPTER 2:
HAVOC
AT
THE
SHRINE
OF
A'
ZURA-
KAITHE
KING:
Onwards with our spear-heads gleaming,
Meet them with cold steel a'cleaving,
Fall only when our hearts cease beating,
Men of
Hyperborea.
ALTARUS:???
THE
KING:
By the darkling powers of the
Shadow-
Sword,
I call forth the fury of the storm to rend the massed legions of
Chaos!
ALTARUS:
And at the sound of his baleful
Words of
Power,the sky split wide in fury, and searing tendrils of ruinouslightning lanced inexorably forth from the heavens to rakeand reave the massed hordes of
Chaos...
XERXES:
The fearful spells he had learned from the
Mountain...did their casting win the battle for the
King's legions?
ALTARUS:
The fiends were dealt a staggering blow by the sorcerous incantations,the power of the spells inexplicably magnified by the enchantmentsof the
Crystal.
The
Wraiths were routed soundly by the elder magics,fleeing anathemas and maledictions against the
King,and the winged horrors fell seared and burning from the enraged sky.
But the twisted machinations of insidious
Chaos had preparedfor the
King one final blow in this dread confrontation...aye, the
Chaos-
Lie
CHAPTER 3:
THE
AWAKENING
OF
CHAOSLORD
ANGSAAR:
Fly, my winged sentinel of the night,
Deliver unto me the
Ninth
Crystal of
Power,
That
I may at last be free once more...
Come then, mortal!
Test that cursed blade of black steel against me if you dare!
O' great king, your pitiful army shall be swept away before my wrath!'
Ere the dawn, ten thousand shall die!
THE
KING:
For the eternal glory of
Hyperborea!
ALTARUS:???
XERXES:
But what did
Angsaar want of the
Crystal?
I know he battled his immortal nemesis over possessionof the mystic gems many aeons ago...but what use would just one of the jewels be to him?
ALTARUS:???
XERXES:
Then the battle, the defeat of the wraiths,all that had been merely a ruse...a scheme implemented by the
Chaos-
Liege merely to realizehis ultimate ambition of the sundering of the mystic shackles?
XERXES:
Yes, the only chance... the last hope for victory...
ALTARUS:???
XERXES:
What was that deed?
What could stop the
Chaos-
Liege?
I must know the outcome of this confrontation!
ALTARUS:
The vista begins to darken...the mists once again weave their spell to withold their timelost secrets.
Practice your art,
Xerxes...hone your skills, and the final outcome of this epic taleshall soon be made known to you...
