*A chill wind howls down the lonely path of Death's Road*

*A hooded rider treks along the dark path, their battered black robe ripples against the cold wind. Another man in a hooded white robe rides a short distance ahead. His eyes are moving back and forth madly and he mutters irrationally to himself*. |

*Brother Styer continues to keep his distance and he moves uneasily in the saddle as he listens to the ramblings of his colleague*. |

Now we've returned.... We must meet the righteous... Fulfill our Godly mission... *He breathes heavily* We will cleanse this land. It is our calling.... Yes... Set them free.... Set them all free... All of them. *He voice becomes more frantic and irrational*. you know this Brother Styer. One by one.... *He gazes over his shoulder at his follower*. By my hand I can free their spirits and send them to the Zoriat.... *He closes his eyes and begins to mutter under his breath*. I will do what our Gods have ordained. I will do their bidding. *He gazes back once again at Brother Styer*. We and our followers must release all those we meet, believers and non believers.... *He looks straight ahead and his eyes glaze and narrow*. Then we must release ourselves..... Yes... The Knights must also go to their Gods. *He nods*. The flesh must suffer, but the spirit will be healed by the Zoriat. All will be at peace with mortal death. |

Everyone must die? All those we meet must perish? Must that be the way of things Brother Keeler? |

We are mere instruments in the hands of the Zoriat.... The North Road led back to this our true path.... *Keeler grips his horse's reins and shakes them aggressively*. The flesh is corrupt and must torn and rendered apart.... Then, and only then.... *Tears glisten in Keeler's eyes and he gazes up into the dark misty sky*. Will those in this land understand the meaning of their being.... We can open the gateway to their Gods.... The sin of the flesh will give way to the love of the spirit... *He closes his eyes and the tears fall*. Purity.... My Brother.... Purity.... |

I understand Brother Keeler.... *Brother Styer nods his head uneasily*. Wexler and the Knights of the Zoriat, the Brothers of Shadow, they too have pledged to follow you.... *He continues to keep his horse a safe distance from Keeler's*. There is war raging across the land, the mermaid usurper and her poisonous father appear in alliance with the barbarous Kanarans and our mad Queen.... |

Princess Philomena..... The tavern wench.... *Keeler grins strangely*. An influence of corruption, a moral degeneration.... *He grits his teeth and his body starts to shake*. Sin upon sin, upon sin... Flesh to be rendered and stripped. *He sighs and shakes his head, digging his teeth into his bottom lip, until blood begins to seep*. Why did the Zoriat make us have such weak bodies? *He swallows and spits blood*. Why am I tasked to break them open? *He gazes up at the sky again*. The Zoriat made their flesh... Why did you not keep us as we were first made, in the spirit of pureness? *He shakes his head*. Madness.... *The blood runs from his split lip and drips on to his beard*. That I must be tasked with something so brutal, just to return us to godliness.... *He laughs*. Yes... Divine madness.... |

It is dangerous to question the will of the Zoriat, it is simpler just to obey and do their bidding. *He takes a deep breath and speaks quickly and nervously*. Question not my Brother, for our calling is all that we must know. |
