Over Icy Planes (Chronicles of Rhelg)

A view of the invasion of Rhelg, as recorded by ACO Catmatui 13523

Soon after the fighting had died down on Krayiss II, with Taldryan once again rising to defeat Clan Arcona, orders were issued from the Dark Council, that Taldryan would once again issue forth and attack the One Sith world of Rhelg. Little was known of this world, beyond the fact that it had once been home to the ancient Sith Lord Ludo Kressh, and still upon it sat the ruins of his long dead, but perhaps no longer abandoned fortress.

As is the way of the Sith, the Dark Council's sinister machinations ensured that even though this was supposedly to be a battle of united Brotherhood forces, the forces of PERSONA, PERSONB, PERSONC would all be tasked to conquer the planet. Tensions would flare, and Clan loyalties would once again rise to the surface. First and foremost on the Dark Council's requirements, was the capturing, and garrisoning of Ludo Kressh's fortress, and to secure any relics that were left there.

Tasked with the "glory" of this mission, was a group of warriors that could rarely be compared with in the Dark Brotherhood. Under the command of Grand Master Jac Cotelin, the team consisting of Halcyon Rokir, Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor, Shadow Taldrya, and Benevolent Whiner Taldrya was issued orders to pair with members of the Grand Master's vaunted Nephilim, and secure the fortress for Lord Ashen.

Stories from the Front Lines

Notes from the Aedile's Frontline Journal

Taldryan Emblem

If there was ever room for rumor, it would be now. But what I say is true: A Dark Lord has risen from the grave. Even being in the higher echelons of the Equites, I find new strengths in the power of the Dark Side each day. This place, this "Brotherhood," constantly begs for larger and darker forces to compete against.

Yet the power that the Iron Throne possesses roars with great fury. Taldryan faces new enemies on a regular basis. Cast under the will of Grand Master Muz, do we fight for our own or for the ego of a Dark Sorcerer? It becomes to difficult to tell these days. Even now on the edge of this sand stricken waste land of Krayiss II, I can only spare a moment to enter this short log. Perks of being the Aedile, I suppose...

The line in the sand is constantly brushed aside, with a new, bolder stroke cast into the ground ahead of us. My mind and mettle struggle alongside Quaestor Rian. He has learned much in his tenure. He is strong in the face of opposition, and knows how to muster his Brothers and Sisters of the Mighty House Taldryan. Our numbers are fewer this time, but our strength is much grander now. This battle on Krayiss II is coming towards the end, I can feel it... Arcona and Scholae Palatinae won't last this battle.

Taldryan will rise victorious. Mark my words.

An Excerpt from Draco's Personal Diary

Today we trudged over the ice plains of Rhelg in search for Ludo Kressh's fortress. We have marched for many hours without rest or respite, through icy terrains, through ambushes by the rouges of Black Sun. And yet we prevailed. There were only five of us: Rian, Bubbles, Sena, me and one another I forgot. We fought with the fierceness of Kryat Dragons, led by Rian. Yes we fought fiercely and broke every ambush, which was both the result of frustration from a long march, hatred for such pirate scum, and yes...thirst for power and treasure.

My frost-bitten hands what now write are nothing compared to the chill in my heart and soul. Today many things I formerly believed were proven wrong. Ludo Kressh's fortress is nothing like we ever saw. At least I never did. It was ancient. The deeper we went, the more I could sense that ancient power increasing. I could feel disturbances in the force similar to waves on an ocean. It was empowering, calling itself to us all, to embrace its dark powers. It made us aggressive: I remember Sena almost on a warpath with the others. I think the dormant powers of the Temple made us so. I felt strangely confident, as if I could decide the fate of worlds with this kind of power, like nothing could stand between me and it...

We battled with Force Spirits when we delved deeper into the temple. Can you believe it? Force Spirits! If anyone told me of existence of force spirits outside of Sith legends I'd have beaned them. But once again, the Force proved me wrong. There are Force Spirits out there. One nearly killed one of our comrades, but we rescued him and destroyed the spirits. However we had no time to jump forward for treasures because Rian ordered us to leave the Temple before the temperature dropped more. We didn't gain anything materially, buy we sure gained a lot of knowledge.

I secretly hoped Sena's annoying bird Corvus would get eaten by a Force Spirit, but alas! One can't have everything.

An Excerpt from Keirdagh's Personal Journal

Still, I fight. [T]he endless string of seemingly pointless conflicts, have sapped nearly all the will and desire out of me to issue forth with my full vigour for the battle of Ch'hodos. Still though, when Taldryan calls, I have an almost automatic need to respond. My heart, my will, my faith may no longer be in the position that I so often have found it, in full defense of Taldryan’s might and prestige, but today, I will fight. The battle for Ch’hodos looms, and while I have been told we are free of having to once again cross swords with the likes of Arcona, today we instead are faced with a battle against Plagueis, Tarentum, and my old enemy of Naga Sadow.

The Plagueians have been a revelation to me in this most recent conflict. I thought the challenge for supremacy in the Brotherhood would remain as it has been for ages, between Arcona and Taldryan, but there is now a third pretender for Taldryan’s throne. Ah well, heavy lies the crown.

An Excerpt from Nyssa's Personal Journal

Everything changes, and yet nothing is new. As I write this we are en route to Ch'hodos, the third planet in our endeavours. Our new recruits are holding themselves well so far, they have great inspiration to look to - with the likes of the OFH to set them the example, there was never really any doubt that they would do well. But still they have held firmer than I had expected, finally the tide turns. I think the other houses have had some what of a surprise - they had long-since decided that Taldryan was dead, that she would never again attain the lofty heights she once graced, but they are realising now they were wrong. We may still have a long fight in front of us to regain that position of superiority but the fight, at last, is well underway. What they failed to realise was the dedication and the loyalty that Taldryan inspires. All it takes is for her to sound her battlecry and the troops will rally. All it takes is time.
