It was the Order of the Deag that discovered the secrets of the Hell essence that the demons used as an energy source. The Argenta and Maykrs alike were baffled by this mysterious new enemy. Not long afterwards, the first reports of demonic invasion arrived, with the Eastern mountains of the Alorum being first to fall. The Khan Maykr, on the other hand, was more intrigued by the dark realms the stranger spoke of, seeing it as another land for the Maykrs to enlighten. Though victorious, his only reward would be a chance to die honorably fighting the enemies of the Argenta. ![]() In spite of his wounds, the stranger fought with surprising ferocity, sheer stubbornness keeping him from succumbing to his injuries.
