-=-The High Enchanter of Marghuul-=-
Garkin waited within the Guild of the Chaotic Lords. He was completely at ease here, within this temple dedicated to Marghuul.. After last eve's encounter with the meddling paladin Torque, he felt safer here than he did in his own guild. Only a few hours ago he had used his magics (with the help of Marghuul) to summon his staff back to him. Torque was wrong about the staff being the source of his recent change, however he wasn't too far off. Garkin knew he didn't have much time before he true intentions were discovered. He could keep them confused at best, but that was all.
These were his thoughts as a dark figure entered the room: The Guildmaster of the Chaotic Lords. The OverLord of Marghuul. Kojin. Garkin knelt before him, as was expected to do before the right hand of one's god. The two had been speaking quietly for some time now, preparing for the war to come. In that time, Garkin had been enchanting weapons for other Chaotic Lords. The two quietly waited as the temple of Marghuul filled with the followers of Chaos: Mawbo, Dana, Huck, Balzac, Ganelon.
Garkin rose before them and pledged his undying allegience to his liege, Marghuul. As he did so, his blue robes of the Enchanter guild slowly turned black. Garkin smiled wickedly as his Guildmaster symbol morphed into the ancient glyphs representing a High Enchanter of Marghuul. Garkin raised the Guildmaster Weapon, the ancient staff of Mycra, the first Enchanter, and brought it down apon his knee with a mighty CRACK, breaking it in twain and causing the energies within it to disperse.
The DemiUrge shouted to all throughout the Realm that the Enchanter Guild Items were destroyed! The Enchanter Guild was without leadership!
Garkin told the tale of the experiment to the soldiers of chaos. He explained the stutter..And the resulting explosion. He then told a story that only Kojin and Malhavoc had heard to this point: Contrary to what Garkin had told others, his experiment suceeded! Except Garkin Gnoll had not created a rune of temporal transport.....but a rune of SUMMONING. He summoned another Garkin from another time, another Shadowrealm. A much darker shadowrealm where Marghuul had beaten Celeborn and ruled all. That Garkin stood before them this eve. That Garkin would take them to war.
