Erodin shook his head, continuing to play his part as prompted. He knew how important the contrast would be, how they would all see it. He was the Dreadlord, the archetype of fear that so swirled around them. To the servants in this hall, Erodin was the danger. He was the thing to be feared...

A strange expression flickered over the man's features. Something between despair, rage, and utter indignation. It was a look that Erodin had seen before, on the faces of men who had always thought they could never be harmed. Orren opened his mouth to speak, but all that managed to come out was...

"But they wo-" Erodin clasped a hand on the boys shoulder. "In a few hours, everyone in that building is going to be dead." There was no threat to the way he spoke those words, but mere fact. There was no arguing with it, there was no changing it. Why would there be? "You no longer want to be a...

Erodin tipped his head in a nod, slowly wandering over towards a table in the corner of the foyer. There he snapped up a decanter of what he thought might be brandy. "Clever." He praised. "The people are easier to fool." A lesson that he and Amelie had taken too long ago. Most peasants were...

It was a good plan, but still showed the girls inexperience. Erodin clicked his tongue. "It is not about boredom." He told her simply. "This is an opportunity." The Dreadlord well understood her impulse. How many villages had he wiped from the face of the map? How many cities had he...

"Complete." The lie slipped from his tongue with ease of practice. The Rune that Erodin would apply to the boy was not the same as those pressed upon the Forsaken. They were similar, almost indistinctly so, but Amelie and He had long ago twisted the mark for their own purposes. Though his...

Erodin tilted his head in a nod, as if confirming some suspicion. "The Forsaken are, to many, a mar on Anirian society." Though, for different reasons for different people. "Dreadlord's are the children of Anirians. Humans all, yes?" He told her, explaining a secret that nearly no one in Vel...

With those words, the trio left behind the slaughter in their wake. No one and nothing stirred within the Palace. Ladies, Lords, and servants alike lay strewn about the halls with cut throats and broken bodies. Their now broken and rotting forms a mark of what had happened here tonight, and a...

Erodin did not speak as he watched Vittoria coerce the boy. The smile lingering on his face as he allowed the Initiate to play with her new toy. For a brief moment he wondered if the boy would be brave enough to resist, to tell Vittoria to fuck off. But as he turned back to glance at Erodin...

Erodin smiled wide, a wicked grin that sparked his eyes as they rose to meet Vittoria's. "Have your fun."

The herd shifted and moved. The crush of the crowd growing even as Revin began to pull himself up. Whispered horror grew to higher calls, and the nobility within the room began to beckon forth within their terror. Then the screams began to silence piece by piece. Blood slickened marble floors...

Erodin was getting bored. He had thought perhaps that he might find something here. A little noble lady with too lose of a tongue, a drunk who might share some secret...but all he found was complaints. The nobles of Lumiria were wealthy, powerful, but utterly ensconced within their own ways...

Erodin perked an eyebrow. "Well the Suitors are certainly more pushy than back home, aren't they dear?" He said, eliciting a small chuckle from the gathered nobility around them. Most of them of course knew the game that was being played here, or what they thought was being played anyway...

"That would be delightful, Contessa, if only my wife were not a jealous wo-" Erodin let the charm turn almost immediately when he spied Vittoria and her baited fish. It wasn't subtle, it wasn't even secret, but the way he made the conversation flow somehow managed to offend no one. Erodin did...

This had always been the least favorite part of being a Dreadlord for him. Amelia had enjoyed it, but that was no surprise given her magic. The flickers of thoughts and glimpses of memories caught delighted her, which had often delighted him with more than just gossip and rumor. Their base of...
