Titles are a fickle thing, reserved for those who’d made an impact in one way or another. Some people earned theirs for acts of heroism. Some for barbarity. Some for cowardice and some simply for being the way they are. Grand Champion, Coeurlkin, and now... Thunderforged of the Levinfist. It was strange. Wyra’to tugged on his hood and checked the mask again, the winds and the dust could pick up so much speed that it could graze bare skin. Fighting for the tournament was the plan, but the reality was far different. Shades of a twisted man, one whom was to be offered a trial for attacking his own countrymen? It puzzled the Keeper. Was it not better to strike down those who wish you harm? Why offer them the courtesy of forgiveness when they would afford him no such luxury in return? Tagada crowed once, leading to Wyra’to tugging on the reins a little to keep the bird in line. He’d been isolated from the Order for so long, seeing how they acted had gotten him thinking. Thunder rung out in peals across the plains and lightning arced across the night sky. It would be a long journey home. Long enough to meditate and mull over events, for this likely wouldn’t be his last encounter with his newfound “brothers.” 

He wondered how his old Master would feel, looking at the Fist now.

Suwan traveled to the Fringes. He went to support his boss Berrod Armstrong who was running the Levinfist Tournament. Suwan saw a grand gathering when he arrived at the Schism. Pugilists, Monks and various warriors gathered in large numbers to partake in the tournament. Several non adventurers were there as spectators as well.

The crowd listened to Berrod making his tournament announcements. Suddenly the Monk coughed out blood and collapsed in front of everyone. Suwan was unsuccessful in awakening Berrod with his Magicks. Instinctively the youthful looking mage took charge asking the other Astral Advent Agents to help.

Mass confusion and panic took over the large crowd as a sword wielding man fell from the sky and began attacking people. Several other terrorists appeared all around and started attacking everyone. It was complete chaos. Suwan reactively cast a shield around himself and Berrod’s body. He coordinated with Autgar, Balthius and nearby strangers to get the injured and civilians into the Schism temple. Suwan then sealed the entrance with his Magicked Barriers.

Several of the casters and warriors stood guard outside his magicked barrier. In front of the temple entrance the sword wielding terrorist summoned an army of shield wielding maidens. Working together with strangers Suwan directed those capable to protect the innocent and injured. The impromptu group of mages and warriors held the line under Suwan’s tactical command. The group kept the host of attackers out of the temple. Meanwhile inside Balthius watched over Berrod’s body while strangers helped sustain and heal the injured civilians.

A grand battle raged on across the battlefield in front of the Schism temple. Spells and explosions visibly scattering across the scarred Fringes. Several monks, ninjas, warriors, healers and casters working together to fight off and defeat the army of terrorists. As the battle at the temple entrance found a pause, Suwan quickly directed those able to care for Berrod’s body. Working with his new allies Suwan led the injured and civilians out of the temple to the nearest settlement. As Suwan left the Schism, he could still see explosions and battle raging on in the distance. He prayed to the Heavens for everyone’s safety. His focus was now to get the civilians to shelter.
