{{TErow| 1 | Opening|"[[Sleen]] has provided us with the name of the man whom you will seek out.  Grand Forgesmith [[Khazandar]], an alchemist and weaponsmith of great repute is the sole man in all Antagarich who has the knowledge and skill to build [[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]].  Find him [[Xeron]].  Find him and force him to construct the Blade, for if he does not consent, make him suffer until he does.  My vision will become reality and you will carry it out for me.<p>According to [[Sleen]], he is being held somewhere in this area of the [[Contested Lands]], protected by those accursed [[Conflux]]es.  Destroy them.  Make them suffer for daring to stand in the way of destiny.  You are too close to achieving my victory to be held off by this rabble.  Succeed and the rewards will be glorious.  I shall wear your skin as a cloak and your eyes shall adorn my rings should you fail me."</p>As the vision fades from the red crystal shard, you stand and summon [[Sleen]] to your side.  [[Xex]], your faithful servant, "bamfs" away and returns shortly with the slimy human. <p>"So [[Sleen]], here is my task for you.  Find me the location of that smith.  Failure is not an option."</p>}}
{{TErow| 6 | Guerilla Attacks News'|[[Xex]] teleports into your presence with a message on his lips.  Kneeling before his lord and master, [[Xex]] begins his report.<p>"My master, I have come to regretfully inform you that our enemy has again begun their shadowy attacks on our supply lines.  We lost three more caravans and the mark of that accursed pale warrior was left behind on one of the wagons."</p>"Arise [[Xex]], my faithful companion.  I have a task for you.  Seek out [[Sleen]] and put a name to this mysterious pale warrior.  I wish to know his name, so I might know it when I kill him."|effect= -2000 {{g}} [[Gold]], -4 {{w}} [[Wood]], -4 [[Ore]] {{o}}, -2 {{m}} [[Mercury]], -2 {{s}} [[Sulfur]], -2 {{c}} [[Crystal]], -2 {{gem}} [[Gems]]}}
{{TErow| 11 | [[Khazandar]]'s Location|[[Sleen]] stumbles into the meeting area, having been pushed there by [[Xex]].  You turn and face the little man who has provided you with much worthy information.  He is visibly sweating and you know that fear courses through his veins.  It is obvious that [[Sleen]] is still worried if you are going to carry out your threat to eat his heart.<p>"I bring news Your Eminence," [[Sleen]] states fearfully.  "The Grand Forgesmith [[Khazandar]] is being held in a simple hut somewhere in the tunnels left behind by the [[Overlord]]s of [[Nighon]] when they invaded [[Erathia]] not long ago.  He should be easy to find as he will be heavily guarded."</p>"Congratulations [[Sleen]], you have managed to exceed my expectations as to how skilled and useful you are.  Perhaps you will not need to be eaten after all.  However, I wouldn't be making any long term plans if I were you."}}
{{TErow| 21 | New about [[Catherine]]|A hurried messenger [[demon]] rushes into your planning session early in the pre-dawn hours. Infuriated at the intrusion, you grasp the [[demon]] by the throat and lift him off the ground.  Your fetid breath in his face, you ask him why you are being interrupted.<p>"My master, I come to pass on a message sent by our spies in The [[Contested Lands]].  They tell of a meeting between the [[Elemental Lords]] of the [[Conflux]] and [[Queen Catherine]].  They also say an agreement has been reached between the two armies.  They are now allies!" the demon manages to croak out just before you crush his windpipe.</p>Throwing his lifeless corpse to the ground, you bellow out in rage.<p>"Bring me [[Sleen]]!  I want to know why this little piece of information escaped his attention.  I want to know why [[Queen Catherine]] is still alive!  I want to know why incompetents SURROUND me so!  [[Xex]]!  Get this useless sack of griffin droppings out of my sight.  I need to think."</p>}}
{{TErow| 38 | [[Gelu]] Kills [[Xeron]]'s Mother|A forlorn-looking [[Xex]] enters your chambers, a long look on his face.  He obviously bears grave news.  He kneels down as is tradition, but is waved to stand and give his report.<p>"My master I regret to inform you that your mother has been slain in battle.  It was the pale warrior who has been plaguing us so.  She fought bravely yet was slain by that accursed one during one of the raids that he has been leading.  I am truly sorry my lord," [[Xex]] states as he takes a step backward.</p>"Leave me."<p>When the tent is clear you drop to your knees and sob.  Soon your sobs turn to laughter; laughter with no humor; laughter filled with insane rage.  Moments later, the tent erupts in a steady stream of swearing and the crashing sounds of destruction.</p>}}
{{TErow| 48 | Spirits of the Dead|In your sleep, you are visited by haunting dreams.  In it spirits come to you, with a warning.  Your present course of action is leading towards your destruction.  You laugh in their faces and the visions get worse.  Still you laugh at their pathetic attempts to sway you from your appointed task.  You have suffered far worse fates than some insipid ghosts haunting you in your sleep.}}
{{TErow| 66 | Cat Marches on [[Kreelah]]|[[Xex]] "bamfs" in and kneels before you while you are deeply involved in examining tactical maps.  You turn and put your hand on [[Xex]]'s shoulder.<p>"What is it my trusted friend?  Is it bad news again?  You may feel at ease when speaking to me."</p>"I have grave news to bring you my master.  Our spies have informed me that [[Queen Catherine]] and her forces now march on [[Kreelah]] itself.  Our northern lines have failed to breach her defenses enough to gain a foothold in Erathia and I have reason to believe [[King Roland]] has reinforced her position and made his own push into [[Eeofol]].  My lord, I fear we might be beaten."<p>"NEVER!"</p>You backhanded [[Xex]] across the face, sending him sliding across the floor.<p>"I cannot believe what they have brought me to.  No longer shall I tolerate failure.  I want them all slaughtered.  Kill everything.  Leave no survivors. GO!!!"</p>[[Xex]] quickly flees his master's presence just as you unleash your fury on the map table in front of you.  Maps and markers fly across the tent, scattering like spores in the wind.<p>"Know this [[Catherine Ironfist]], I shall have my revenge.  I swear by [[Erebus the Dark]] I will flay the skin from your child's bones as you watch.  You shall suffer my wrath for this insolence!"</p>}}
