It is a dark day indeed... even for the order. The paladins have torn our link to oblivion, and it seems all may be lost. Lord Darrien Church is dead, Lord Soulblight a mere skeleton, Lord Bailos barely keeping himself together. Our lich lord is gone... i do not know what has happened to him.
Even as a slave... i feel my bond with oblivion severed as well. Every moment i could, i would pray to oblivion for the strenght i needed, and now he no longer answers my prayers. It is like losing ones hands... once they are gone, it is hard to work without them.
I do not know what i can do now... I was to submit a small sermon at next mass, but who knows when that will be. I am in shambles as of what to do. Nothing is working. Charnel Hill has been taken by the paladins, it seems that only Caina and it's ruins have not been taken... but if we were to go there, what would we do? Could the order i have learned and vowed to serve been decimated to the point of no redemption? Has my time been wasted. My friends would never welcome me back to their homes, they despise me as it is. I would forever be seen as a outcast of a society which does not know the true meaning of pain. How could they understand what the order has been through? None can. It is impossible to imagine.
We are held up in Mardoth's tower, at the northern end of Umbra. We sit here, awaiting an attack that may never come. Awaiting a messiah which is not guarenteed. Awaiting nothingness...
If oblivion were to return, it may be too late. Even now, the order has fallen apart, and it will be most difficult to repair. Of course i hope for the best, but how can I when we are hiding, running like fox from the hounds of hunters. We are sheep to the light's wolf.
No.. We musn't fail, we cannot fail. Oblivion cannot be destroyed, cannot be defeated, and its followers will have his blessings, and his powers. We will overcome the light which are the paladin. The wretched paladin......

Until our tie with oblivion has been restored, i will not speak.
