{{h|Gelu|0=}}: 
Several days ago the [[AvLee]] [[Council of Elders]] commanded [[Gem]] and myself to avenge the deaths of [[Lord Falorel|Lords Falorel]]<!-- in-game mistake -->, [[Lord Fayette]], the [[Dragon Lords]] and all the other victims of the [[Necromancer]]'s raids.  At the border we encountered this... this horrific scene.  The [[Deyja]]n lords must be destroyed before all of [[AvLee]] is harvested for their [[undead]] armies.

{{TEheader}}
{{TErow| 1 |Intro [[Gelu]]|{{Hn|Gelu|0=}}:  After learning that [[Sandro]] was behind the plot to kill [[Lord Falorel]], I did some more investigating and discovered the [[Dragon Lord]]s I destroyed were not bandits.  They were real [[AvLee]] [[Border Lord]]s.  I felt I had to explain personally to the [[AvLee]] [[Council of Elders]] and accept their judgment for my mistake.  The Council was skeptical, but after consulting with their Oracle, they said I could best make amends by participating in a punitive campaign against [[Deyja]].  I feel honor bound to accept their judgment, and I have taken a leave of absence from the [[Forest Guard]].}}
{{TErow| 1 |Intro [[Gem]]|{{Hn|Gem|0=}}:  The doll got to me.  It looked just like the one my sister had right before she died.  I remember thinking she was the luckiest girl in the world to have a doll like that.  Then the horde of [[skeleton]]s killed everyone in my village.  I was the only survivor.  I'm GLAD the [[Council of Elders]] choose me as one of the pair to punish [[Deyja]].}}
{{TErow| 9 |Letter [[Ethric]] to [[Gem]]|{{Hn|Gem|0=}}:  I received a message from [[Ethric]] today.  [[Ethric]] said it had been decades [[Sandro]] was his apprentice.  He said [[Sandro]] ran away and become a [[Necromancer]]!  There were more ill tidings.  [[Ethric]] said [[Sandro]] might be trying to construct a powerful artifact from all the artifacts I gathered for him.  I was so furious, I screamed.  None of my troops came near me for an hour.  I must pass these tidings on to [[Gelu]] and the [[Council of Elders]].}}
{{TErow| 12 |Message [[Gem]] to [[Gelu]]|{{Hn|Gelu|0=}}:  I received a message from [[Gem]] today.  She had found out [[Sandro]] is a [[Necromancer]].  She sounded angry.  She said [[Sandro]] might have built some powerful artifact from all the artifacts she gathered for him.  I wonder if the dead [[AvLee]] Lords stumbled across this plan?}}
{{TErow| 21 |Scout Report [[Barbarian]]s|{{Hn|Gelu|0=}}:  My scouts encountered some [[Erathia]]n irregulars today.  They were part of a militia unit from the town of [[Clovergreen]].  They knew [[Gem]].  They also passed on interesting news.  Two [[Barbarian]]s named [[Crag Hack]] and [[Yog]] are invading [[Deyja]] from [[Erathia]].  I should [[Gem]] about this and send word to the [[Erathian High Command]].}}
{{TErow| 25 |[[Gem]] to [[Yog]]|{{Hn|Gem|0=}}:  Today I received word from [[Gelu]] about a pair of [[Barbarian]]s attacking [[Deyja]] from the [[Contested Lands]].  To my surprise, an hour later some of my Elven scouts escorted in some [[Orc]] spies with a message for me.  It was from a blue [[Barbarian]] hero named [[Yog]].  Hmm, I met him once in [[Enroth (nation)|Enroth]].  He's with another [[Barbarian]] named [[Crag Hack]].  I've heard of [[Crag]] too.  [[Yog]] and [[Crag Hack]] are upset with the [[Necromancer]]s and [[Sandro]] especially.  What?!  [[Crag]] collected artifacts for [[Sandro]], which DID combine into a powerful artifact!  [[Ethric]] was right!}}
{{TErow| 25 |[[Gem]] to [[Yog]] (cont)|{{Hn|Gem|0=}}: To express their displeasure with [[Sandro]], the [[Barbarian]]s decided to invade [[Deyja]], but [[Yog]] wants to know what is really going on.  This is good timing for our own campaign.  We are hitting [[Deyja]] from the North while they are attacking from the West.  The [[Erathia]]ns are going to have kittens when they hear about [[Yog]] and [[Crag]].  I want to talk to [[Yog]].  Where's that map?  Hmm, [[Gelu]] and I need to first take Castle [[Crypthome]] to secure this part of [[Deyja]], but afterwards I'll ask [[Yog]] and [[Crag]] to meet [[Gelu]] and myself at a place called [[Blagden]].}}
