Hail Adventurers!
It is said that heroes are born on the fields of battle, forged by blood and steel. They are the men and women who rise above their adversaries with courage and valor. Those that who survive such trials become leaders and kings; the dead become legend… tales told by firelight.
I speak now of the things concerning an ancient brotherhood bound by solemn oath and driven by the will to resist the shadows cast upon them by the undead armies and their assault upon Thestra. There once existed and outpost of Targonor positioned at the southern border of the old kingdom. It was manned by a voluntary militia and known as Camp Lorien. One fateful night in the bitter cold of darkness word reached the camp of an approaching undead army, vast beyond all belief. An attack on Targonor’s outlying towns and villages was immanent and the people had no warning. Camp Lorien now stood between the marching horde and the defenseless villagers and farmers.
Riders were dispatched to send warning of the approaching army and orders too evacuate. The remaining soldiers at Camp Lorien, though fully aware that any attempt to resist any army of such scope would be suicide, unanimously elected to stand their ground in an attempt to slow the armies long enough for the people to escape.
The stand at Camp Lorien saved many innocent lives, but at a great cost. Nearly all of the soldiers perished that day, including their leader, Captain Ethelion Sirende, who was consumed by dark fires he destroyed Bantor Argontia, the great Dread Lord who aided in the merciless assault.
The few soldiers that remained were scattered by the death of their leader and the destruction of the old kingdom. Even as New Targonor rose in the place of its predecessor the veterans of Camp Lorien had all but given up hope that the vision of their fallen Captain would ever be restored. After many long years however, hope has returned as the bloodline had been found.
The hour of the Arvandor has come! A fire in the hearts of our brethren has rekindled and the strength of the Arnor has returned! Gone are the days of malevolence and injustice, replaced now by the resolve of this alliance. We will once again bring the hammers of justice to the very doorsteps of the unjust and once again unite under one banner against the might of Telon’s darkest foes! Yes, it is time. It is time for the people to put on the armor of the divine and pledge an oath of service to the people of Telon! Rise gallant warriors! Rise to the light of the eastern dawn! Rise above the shadows and declare freedom forever!
Forth warriors of Avalorien! Together we shall restore the glory of the Arvandor!
