Sons of Alaric Seeking Help

Please read and take heed my friends!!!

Greetings!

I am Kurtis Brightmark, the librarian and official record keeper for the Sons of Alaric- Kingdom of Irvanshire Mother Chapter. As some of you may have heard by now, one of the biggest enemies of not only our group, but humanity itself, was the vile Garland Decedres. He was one of the three founders of Project:Deadma,n and by far the most mentally unstable. Project:Deadman and its success, until the combined efforts of the SOA and Elmerton brought it down, was not his ultimate goal. He wished to become an incarnation and very nearly pulled it off. After his death at the hands of the heroes of Elmerton and the eventual destruction of Project:Deadman, most figured his evil was wiped from the face of our world. We were wrong. His son, a man by the name of Dedrick, still draws breath after being freed from an SOA jail. On top of that, a journal Garland kept seems to have been scattered across all of Irvanshire and possibly even beyond. These pages could contain terrifying power and long lost dark arts. Please, if you stumble across anything that you think may even be a page, please report it to the local magistrate or to the nearest manor house.

Thank you for your attention,

Stay safe and be well,

Kurtis Brightmark

Declaration From the Sons of Alaric

To our friends and brothers and sisters in arms in Irvanshire:

Greetings. My name is Special Agent Atwater. I am a former scribe and scholar who joined and fought with the Sons of Alaric after my family was killed by the undead creations known as Ultimates. The Sons wish to clear the air a bit and keep everyone informed of our activities and overall mission. I will break this up into simple numbered points.

1. Supreme Commander Alaricson is still not with us. The grief he felt when commander McConell died hit him very hard. We have tried to contact him, but so far we have failed. In his stead, General Tunney from the Terl Ayre branch has been called back to be Steward Commander until he returns. We have also called back Special Agent Fisher, who has been promoted to General.

2. Making sure Project Deadman (PDM) never returns is still our top priority. With Garland and Sebastian dead and, as far as we know, the beacons destroyed, it would be highly unlikely that PDM would be able to return, though loose ends still exist. We know that Garland’s son Dedrick is still alive, and we have heard rumors of a book that not only explains how to create the serum that is needed, but the proper incantations and other scientific means for creating the beacons to power PDM creations, as well as the full process to create “Perfects” and “Ultimates.” Anyone with any information on this should contact us immediately. You will be rewarded with coin and/or training.

3. The Sons are also still hunting vampires and actively seeking out those who supported them in their latest “Game” that claimed countless lives.

4. We also support Bosephus Blackgate and his clan in their fight against Rebekkah Sky and her clan in the Blackgate war. We have been supporting Bosephus with food, money, and weapons for months. We now have agents and other troops below ground to support them. We consider the fusion of regular humans and shadows in accelerated birth pits to be an abomination, and it must be stopped.

5. We have no statement on the Gatekeeper at this time.

We hope this clears things up. The Sons of Alaric may not be as publicly active as we once were, but we are working tirelessly to ensure that evil will never triumph.

Thank you for reading this.

The dead may rise from their graves and they may walk, but as long as even a single agent draws breath, they’d better run.

-Special Agent Atwater

Commander Brandal Mcconnel Struck Dead!

In the early morning hours on the 12th day of Reapingdusk Commander Brandal Mcconnel of the Sons of Alaric was killed in the midst of heavy combat while on a mission that the Sons of Alaric has deemed top secret. A letter was given to me today, the contents of which I will reveal here:

To our friends, and our Brothers and Sisters in arms:
Just this past moon while a mission- the details of which I will not reveal- our beloved commander, Brandal Mcconnel, was killed in action. Already hobbled and badly injured from the soul wound he received many moons ago, Brandal still bravely lead the charge against a terrible enemy.

It was a long and terrible fight that drained the abilities and energies of many of fine warriors. In the end when the smoke cleared and all was said and done, Brandal lay dead on the field of victory by the hand of Siegfried of Gothrok. A few days after the incident, Siegfried confronted the Sons of Alaric, his glowering visage made even more terrifying by his intense anger. It appears that the vampire known as Queen Amphelise had managed to control the Incarnation of Evil for a short time in order him to have him do her bidding. It seems as though Amphelise wanted the mission that the Sons of Alaric were on to fail so utterly that the group, and those who worked with them, would be completely broken. Though Siegfried did not display regret for his actions, his anger at Amphelise’s blasphemous control of the Incarnation he worships, not to mention using him to do her dirty work, was palpable as he relayed his story. After explaining his actions, the Hierophant hopped away.

Brandal’s death was one of a true warrior and his final fight was one that showed his heroism and his care for those who fought alongside him. He died as he lived- selflessly thinking only of those that he swore to defend and in conflict against those who wish to bring pain and destruction to the people and the world he loved. In his final words he made the following proclamations:

1. General Edgel Alaricson from now on will be known as Commander Alaricson. He is now the total leader of all divisions of the Sons of Alaric worldwide.

2. Special agent Bianca Fisher will be promoted to General of the Sons of Alaric mother branch. She will go by the title of General Fisher.

After struggling to make his intentions known for the SOA, Brandal took one final tired breath and exhaled. He then passed on.

Brandal was one of the bravest men I have ever met and I have no doubt he has earned his place in the hall of heroes. He, along with Pollard our founder, Alaric, and all of our fallen agents, will never be forgotten by the SOA and many others around the world. I also want to take this time to thank and appreciate the heroes of the small township of Elmerton. Many of our missions would have failed if not for your help and dedication to our various causes. In particular, the following people risked life and limb in order to retrieve and return Brandal’s sword to the Sons of Alaric, and we are truly grateful for their help: Ulysses, Nogard, Raelynne, Magno, and Tala.

Elmerton will always have the thanks and help of the Sons of Alaric. This town is a shining example to the rest of the world what a group of like-minded people can achieve regardless of the odds. Your bravery is the very fabric of legend.

We must now prepare for the funeral of our Commander. We will also have a small remembrance ceremony for him in Elmerton at the beginning of Boneharvest during the Festival of Souls. All are invited and the details will be announced shortly before it begins.

Thank you all,

General Bianca Fisher

The letter ended there I attempted to get in touch with Commander Alaricson with no luck. I will report on more details as I get them.

Sons of Alaric Declare War!

To the People of Irvanshire:
This is something that has taken many many hours of thought to come to a decision to: After gathering my most trusted advisers including but not limited to General Edgel Alaricson, Lady Teagen, Special agent Fisher, and a few others that I will not mention here, the choice is clear. We have sat by too long as undead beings not unlike the ones we all swore an oath to destroy have had an almost unopposed run to do as they please. For too long we have allowed these things to quite literally play games with people’s lives. The powers that be will do nothing to stop them because, to be honest, these things are the true powers that be. All that being said, I will lay this out as simply as I can here: The Sons of Alaric will no longer be idle. From this moment on the Sons of Alaric declare war on a new enemy.  The Sons of Alaric delcar war on any and all vampires who dare sully the life cycle and exist only to bring death and misery to mortals.
We are fully aware of what this means, not only to our group as a whole, but to the lives of all involved with us who take this stand. Vampires and those who support them may read this and laugh, but to those who doubt our abilities I say this: We destroyed the single greatest undead threat that the world has ever known.
It took many lives and countless hours but Project:Deadman was destroyed.
To all Vampires I say this: Your time is over, your reign of terror is about to end. Mortals will no longer be your pawns. We will retake the night. They say you feel nothing and that your kind cannot be killed. I promise this, you will feel fear and you will feel the true death you deserved so long ago. The Sons are coming and all those who support us are as well. The sun is about to rise on your kind.
You have been warned.
Brandal Mcconell
Supreme commander of the Sons of Alaric.
