The latest from my spies in the field tell me that there are many of the items being collected as we speak. Roving bands of Heroes and Heroines have been delving deep into the depths of the nastiest pits of evil, and the most dangerous castles and keeps.

The latest reports tell of a planar magician of the pinnacle of his guild, with a heart as pure as the nightgaunts he conjures (which could be the reason the Lords of Fortress ignore him), carrying several of the desired items.

Let me reiterate my interpretations of these strange visions and the requirement of the items. The faction who comes up with the majority of these items will have their sway over the Demon's power and will do with it what they will. The Nexus may use it to strengthen Magic and therefore stake their claim against the Village. The Tribunal may use it to restore Order to the universe and thus exert their influence back through the Chaos Planes. The Fortress...well they will of course stamp it out as evil with extreme duty and prejudice! The Scions.....well...they have yet to show much interest. Surprising, but not unexpected.

To Arms Therans, the wave of maniacal chaos that is the Demon Brothers may be coming to a crest like a great tsunami, or it could simply break harmlessly on the rocks that is the Heroes of Thera. Only you can end this tale. My interest is piqued, and I await to see the outcomes.

Yours in awe,
