Another Part of my Prolouge

Lore-West Country

It is said that West Country was built by the very first settlers. Within those settlers was a man who would not constrain himself to religion He was the opitiminy of the freethinking atheist. However he knew that the Children of the Feather and the Darklings were real. He however did not follow either, he thought it to be a cheap attack on the people to get money. This man became Lord Raynor. Who at present is a powerful man in West Country. Within his constraints he has denied the people of West Country the freedom of religion. Legend has it that beneath the ground of a shop that sells potions is a religious union of those who wish to pray to Koros. It is led by none other then Luther Hemmel. These underground religious ceremonies did not last long when Lord Raynor found out about it and sent his guards in to destroy shrines.
Moments after the guards had arrived in the underground temple they took Luther Hemmel in and brought him to Lord Raynor. He was told that he was forgiven for preaching against West Country laws. But if he were to do it again he would be killed on sight.
It is said that it takes a terrible mishap to change a man. But when the Dark Fathers attacked West Country Lord Raynors change only became worse. He singled out people whom he thought partook in the attack. Many of the residents of West Country were sent to dungeons where they were tortured. Among the tortured was a woman named Melea Le Fevre who Lord Raynor claimed to be a mastermind of the Dark Fathers attack. He himself examined her and interviewed her. When he realized that his accusations were right, he listened to her plead. But during her plead he fell for what he vowed never to fall for. He joined the ranks of the Dark Father temple and married Melea who became his Lady.
During their reigning years the Darklings occupied their manor and their minds. He once again killed those who disagreed with him. Leaving only those who worshiped Korous either killed or driven out of town. The small Castle State soon became a colony for the Darklings to use. The king however did not do anything about it since Lord Raynor was his brother’s son.
This left people like Luther Hemmel to become a refugee and he went back to Oolon to tell the Children of the Feather what the Darklings had done. It was then that Luther was told to go to the king for a document called the War Scrolls, which allowed them to declare war on West Country.
And so it was that the Children of the Feather sent their best warriors to the gates of West Country. With Luther Hemmel at the front of the brigade they marched and rode their horses many miles. When they arrived they blew the War Horn. This alerted the guards and the Darklings who had been watching from the tower. Lord Raynor then walked out of his manor and was told to meet Luther Hemmel at the gates. Luther Hemmel then spoketh these words “You dare not suppress our people any longer, from this moment on we are at war with West Country” Lord Raynor read the scrolls signed by the king appalled by his descion. He then spoketh “I will not surrender my land Luther, for you are a horrible human being the Dark Fathers will prevail” and with that he drew his sword and the war began.
