Albeit less enlightened denizens of Darklands could do so, what I could see from heroes actions so far they would only humor my requests and such only long enough to eliminate you entirely. As you are perhaps only true threats the heroes could face. However, in Darklands there is power in information and secrets and I doubt lord Chargoth had managed pull enough arcana to summon all of you without suffering some drawbacks....either create temporal or lasting handicap for himself." Glancing on pale Glysora who could at this point be cold white alabaster statue how frozen she appeared to be and continues; "So for sharing such insight you may not get punished by him, he would not dare even if he could. However his lieutenant is entirely different story altogether. As lesson to Darkland politics you should be very careful when you have secrets, more so we Darklanders who sit any seats of power have all our own ways figure out information and secrets for exactly that reason. As well guarding our own, but one first most enemy to keeping secrets is yourself first.<br/><br/>It's true I may had suspected something curious going on if your powers grew but nothing confirmed, dark blessings are common enough thing among mighty in Darklands so I could had contributed your powers to that. However knowing you have same potential as heroes though.....it creates very interesting power dynamic. More so there is both heroes in Darklands and heroes who battle for rest of the world. Also number wise this is highest number of heroes same time as well. So very interesting times indeed. More so if indeed you can last past twenty years can create legacies and influences which change the entire world.<br/><br/>So I gladly give you more focus on your rewards but as Darklander I do demand service before payment, that's fair after all. More so my task is likely your first trial which tests and strengthens you. To see are you truly up to power you wield, as heroes have fallen before during their first quests. Same as true worth of steel sword after crafting it happens when you do the final quenching, if there is no sound the blade is good. Or else it releases awful sound and bristles up and is useless junk. If you wish unite and stabilize Darkland, you need be strong and prove it. As Darklanders respect might and power above all else and Dark Council is symbol of such and also silent desire to most Darklanders seek seat on said council, gain recognition for such honor."
