Description:	The hellish minions left to wander in the aftermath of Korax's defeat during the battle of Cronos have now scattered across Parthoris looking for fresh meat, and a new realm to call their own. Beings of chaos roam freely, causing disarray in the realm. The citizens of Parthoris have barely had time to rebuild their lives in the wake of D'Sparil's reign of chaos, which was put to an end by a yet-unidentified outsider. You are Corvus. You have laid low for a while in the dockside town of Port Mercy, and become aware of the situation almost immediately. Portals open in every corner of the town, legions of the damned pouring forth and slaughtering the populace. Stepping out into the pouring rain, you come to a scene of fresh blood dashed against the cobbles, deep red tendrils of it snaking into the gutters, and raging monsters bellowing vicious cries of revenge as the townsfolk meet a gruesome end. They smell your blood and close in on you. Standing at the foot of the belltower, you brandish your elvenwand and confront the desperate beasts as they converge upon you. The gleam of its topaz gem sends chills of fear down their backs. It's you - the faithless one.

You are Corvus. You have laid low for a while in the
                          dockside town of Port Mercy, and become aware of the
                          situation almost immediately. Portals open in every
                          corner of the town, legions of the damned pouring forth
                          and slaughtering the populace. Stepping out into the
                          pouring rain, you come to a scene of fresh blood dashed
                          against the cobbles, deep red tendrils of it snaking
                          into the gutters, and raging monsters bellowing vicious
                          cries of revenge as the townsfolk meet a gruesome end.

They smell your blood and close in on you. Standing at
                          the foot of the belltower, you brandish your elvenwand
                          and confront the desperate beasts as they converge upon
                          you. The gleam of its topaz gem sends chills of fear
                          down their backs.

It's you - the faithless one.
