The Fall of Aun Tanua

I am Nalicana. Once I was Asheron's student. Now I lead the Order of Dereth as best I can.

Aun Tanua was a mighty warrior--the greatest, perhaps, that the Order of Dereth has ever known.

Imprisoned and tortured for many ages, he was recently rescued by Order agents. We thought it a victory.

Yet, though the hero's mind was sound, his soul was consumed with a rage for vengeance.

When his rage took the life of an innocent shaman, our surest link to Wharu was broken. So, too, was Aun Tanua's honor.

Now Aun Tanua has vanished into the mountains along with his fanatical Loyalists. In my heart, I fear they no longer serve the Light.
