![]() The Tale of Captain Johne"Over the ages, comets, fiery nebulae, have torn through our skies as harbingers of impending doom. They appeared just before the emergence of the Dark Lord Mondain. They heralded the reign of the Enchantress Minax, and they foretold the impending danger of the hellborn Exodus. . . Now, while we live in the midst of peace and enlightenment, the comets have begun again."
Thus were the words penned by Sir John, astronomer and scribe of Lycaeum, just prior to the rise of the Shadowlords and the reign of Lord Blackthorn. Though the tyranny of the Shadowlords and their unknowning puppet scar the all texts of history, little is known of the vessel Ararat, mundane in all respects, save for her Captain whose tragic tale heralded a new age of darkness. . . |
