Since that night in 1765

I’ve known only triumph

The chosen of the god-king

Vyakzkaa of the Vale

Through tricks and witchcraft

I made my way to kings

Taking thrones

Slaying armies

Laying waste to those who defy

I am Xelvellol

Harbinger of end times

Bringer of the night

Lord of Humanity

Right hand of our Holy King

The Onyx Throne I sit upon

Once sat a weakling king

Bastien filled his role

And gifted my that weakling’s head

Now from here I lead endless armies

To spread endless death

I yearn for the chance again

To join them in the hunt

I cannot count the sacrifices that have been made

The War Chiefs tell me my soldiers take ten million a day

Chief Tsuul of the Mediterranean War Front approaches

Xel: “What word bring you now, Tsuul

Tell me of your conquests”

Tsuul: “My lord, I regret to inform you that we have encountered…unexpected interruptions coming from deep within the ottoman empire. Within the last three days, our operations in Greece have fallen to a complete standstill.”

Xel: “Have they? Everything has progressed without the slightest miscalculation thus far. Would you mind explaining to me what exactly the problem is?”

Tsuul: “Approximately a week ago, Chief Adrekk stopped reporting back. Search parties were sent after him, but they too did not return. After several days, we could not afford to keep stalling. I ordered the Warfront march on. Three days ago, we came across Adrekk and the search parties.”

Xel: “Continue…”

Tsuul: “My lord, the men lay in a field of cinder, and all of their eyes had been burned out. We rushed to their sides, and asked them what events transpired, but they just repeated, endlessly, ‘Eschaton will unleash the Ash Omen upon the usurper.’”

Xel: “So, Eschaton has finally decided to show their faces again, have they?”

Tsuul: “Xel, we were not prepared for Eschaton. We thought them eradicated, we were not ready for this.”

Xel: “Gather the other Warchiefs, we must not make another move until we devised a new strategy do you understand me?”

Tsuul: “Yes, my lord, i understand. But what if they strike before us?”

Xel: “If they strike before us, then may the God King have mercy upon our souls.”
