(( Here . for all us Dalelanders, is when the DracoLich came to the beastmen lands and flew down on a group of adventurers. . . ya was great. . . ))
Elektra speaks around the ranger camp fire to any who would listen.
Her hands come together like flapping wings of a bat , as she describes the dracolich.
"Most of the group was stricken by terror, when it just came down upon us ... I endured its ominous presence.. Perhaps because my eyes have beheld even worse things... "
She pauses, her brow furrowing with the memory.
" . . . the creature taunted us, as i stood beneath its decaying muzzle, its foul stench unblievable. ", Elektra would recall, her face going a bit pale.
" It laughed at all of our divisions that keep us from uniting a force against the undead. It mused how foolish we were to fight against each other. and that soon enough, we would all be totally united with each other. . . in the army of the undead !"
She pauses, shifting her weight on the crate, as if an unseen burden had settled on her shoulders.
" it was then that we set our minds on gathering the many talents, minds and forces of the Dales to do exactly the opposite of what this curse of a creature had said."
Again, she takes a deep breath and lets out a crestfallen sigh.
" I recall what the Headmaster of the HoR , Crypto, said to others... He said ' there will be ages for is to hate, suspect and kill each other, and we can all return to all that , once the undead are defeated, but for now, we must work together to stop them.'
I tried again and again to reason with folks, but in the end , it was just as the cursed dracolich had said... Each faction refused to even consider a unified effort... Can you imagine how I felt when it became painfully clear ... The cursed beast knew us so so well...it's words haunt me even today."
