THE WAY
The last few weeks have been quite disturbing in TUR Village. As the land grows more and more dark, so do our hearts as the battle over The Way grows stronger. Lord Hoyt has continued to vex us daily with his visits to the Village. Dark as the night and crafted from some black magic no doubt, his striking Ebon Plate, Ebon Shield and Ebon Sword apparently safeguard Hoyt from all attempts on his life. At the recommendation of the red phoenix Atross, the folks of the village have attempted to reason with him. Yet, he remains uncooperative -- leering at us with his depraved grin, and taking great delight in torturing the villagers with his pets -- an oft seemingly endless stream of hellhounds and dire wolves. Even the strongest warrior can easily fall with a number of these pups nipping at one's heels. Perhaps because his master was otherwise engaged, or perhaps because Minax "amuses him," Hoyt agreed to join our defense of the Justice shrine several days ago. And while we had hoped that this alliance against Minax would change his heart, he has only stepped up his threats against TUR village with his hounds from hell.
Hoyt's Lord and Master, the evil lich Akron has made several direct assaults on TUR Village as well. When we first sighted his crimson form glowing maniacally as he arrived from the south, we sent pigeons flying for support. His company of undead is tremendous and frightening. All sorts of skeletons, skeletal knights, mummies, liches and liche lords accompany his visits to the center of the village. As friends and allies arrive to join in the defense, Akron simply raises his arms and new waves of undead sweep the village with their unholy stench.
We fear for Atross, the kind-hearted and powerful red phoenix of the Clan Red Feather. Surely his journey to our world from his has been exhausting for him. He has retreated to his meditation in preparation for the battle ahead, but makes an occasional visit to TUR Village and in and around the town of Yew. Always looking out for our safety, Atross is our greatest ally in the fight for The Way.
In the coming days, we expect Akron to harness the power of the Dream Sickle and open "The Way". Brave souls who would stand against this evil are encouraged to visit TUR Village northeast of Yew and participate in the struggle over The Way.
