He was a noble man once, but the enemy he fought corrupted his body and drained away his holy magic, as you saw. He was one of thirteen great heroes that headed out to fight The Dark One.. and one of the three survivors of the battle."<br/><br/>Alrun leaned back upon his staff. "It is said that the Dark One and all his servants had been destroyed, for none saw any demonic servants and even his lesser creatures, the orcs, had been scattered and weakened beyond recovery.<br/><br/>But a darkness is moving in the land once more. Orc tribes gather and roads that were once safe are no longer. .. and what just happened is indubitable proof. This is what I came to check here, but.. I never imagined it would be this bad. One of the Seven must have survived it's masters destruction.. or perhaps one of the remaining heroes had been corrupted in the battle itself.. I have to make sure..." Alrun nodded, thoughtful for a long moment, staring off into the distance.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">The Dark One, Common Knowledge</div><div class="spoiler_body">While now mostly considered a fairytale, told to misbehaving human children, the oldest of elves still tell tales of a darker age, before the greatest heroes of all free people united to destroy a great evil. An evil that could take the form of it's foes greatest fear.. or greatest desire, the cause of all sinful thoughts and, according to many of the stories, also able to tell when a child did not clean their room or go to bed after sun-down.<br/><br/>Legend has it that the battle against this evil lasted for Ten days and each day, one of the heroes fell, with only the youngest, a great healer, and the greatest defender of them remaining alive, finally killing the evil with a sacred flower, something so pure and innocent the darkness could find no way to corrupt it. (Although, in other re-tellings of the tale, the flower was less metaphorical and more of a magic sword.) <br/></div></div><br/><strong>DM<br/>Tag: Arrian</strong><br/><br/>The armor, albeit battered by some blows now, seems of rather fine quality and does not dissolve on it's own. You'll have to depart it from it's owner however.
