Flickering light cast forth from the candle, penetrated the shadows to dance over his face. In this dim room one could only make out a piled stack of rolled parchments and the twisted smile of Mairsil.

Taking a final look over the multitude of maps on his desk, Mairsil snatched up the rolled parchments in a hand and quickly stood up from his hunched position. He looked then to the single candle on the corner of his desk and pressed his hand over its wick, extinguishing the light which struggled with the shadows of his office. With that, he turned to take his leave, speaking to himself as he made his way out of his office and to the roof of his tower.

"Finally Mairsil, you've found your true purpose, once again."

Having reached the roof, he called to his raven and watched it as it slowly spiraled through the air to land softly on his arm. Mairsil stared at the bird and considered it, looking back to the number of parchments he carried.

"Hmm.."

Deciding the deliveries numbered too many for the raven, he dismissed it and summoned forth his ethereal mount, placing the scrolls into a bag and tying it to his waste. Mairsil thought over the multiple letters he had written as he absentmindedly looked over his reagents to make sure he was prepared.

Greetings,
Old friends, old followers of Armunn. Lord Tarothin is still missing, and our great numbers have lessened. I speak of course of the Dark Order, our once great empire that has dwindled and died...until now at least. I, Mairsil, previous general and leader of the Arcane, am writing to you all to organize a reuniting. Some of you may have heard of the events that have transpired in my life, or of the organization, Arcanis, it lead me to create. I have followed the path of the arcane, and in my journey I have discovered a greater one. I speak not of magic as I know it interests some of you little, but I speak of achieving greatness beyond even that of the Dark Order. I am writing to all of you because in the past I called you friends, fellow soldiers, and followers. I do not intend to recreate the Dark Order, but I look to you all for aid in a new beginning. Make an effort to contact me as soon as you receive this letter, I assure you it's worth your time.

-Mairsil

"Kal Ort Por"

*This letter has been written and delivered to all the homes of all former Dark Order members*

Vixen grins at the missive and eagerly gathers up a quill.

Mairsil,
I am pleased you remembered to send me a note. I eagerly await any further communications from you.
Signed,
Vixen Silverfox

She ties the note to her dove and sends it off to Mairsil.

Toren read and re-read the letter, being sure he had made no mistake.

Taking up a parchment and his quill, he set the tip to the paper.

Mairsil,

Despite having never held a badge in the Dark Order I did ride under thier banner many a time. I am pleased you remember me in calling forth this... reunion. We shall be in contact.

Toren Smythe.

Kurt opens the mail and smiles with joy. He hadn't been this happy since he joined the Dark Order. He eagerly begins writing a letter to Mairsil.

Greeting old friend!
I have missed the days we all had together, and I eagerly wish to see you and my fellow brothers and sisters of The Dark Order. I miss them all and have not seen most of them since that dreadful night of the mist. Hope to see ye again soon Mairsil, I'll be there to see my family once again!

*Signed*

Kurt, former Dark Legion Soldier of The Dark Order

*Kurt seals the letter and sends it off to Mairsil. He smiles at fly's off to Mairsil then goes back into the tavern to sleep.*

Ahh.... I can't wait to see them once again, I might even get to return to my beloved home!

*Kurt stays up almost all night to excited to sleep.*

Sitting atop the roof of Mairsil's home, Ceinwyn catches the birds and messengers as they arrive with correspondence. She holds her own letter in her left hand, haphazardly wrinkled from re-reading.

She reads the first bird's letter. From Vixen SilverFox. She makes a face at it, sticking out her tongue. She mimics the written words in a sing-song voice. She then folds the note as neatly as it was to begin with.

The second letter was from Toren. Meh. He wasn't even in The Dark Order.

How in the hell did he get a letter??

She smirks as she reads it.

Yes, Toren, we shall see what Mairsil is up to.

She returns the letter to it's original state, leaving nothing out of place.

On to the as-of-yet last letter. This one sealed in wax.

Oh bother! Wax!

She smirks at it as she gently scrapes every trace of any wax off of the paper with her teeth, chewing it as she reads. Kurt. KURT!. She began to laugh out loud, almost choking on the wax. Wait, were those dried droplets of spittle or tears on the paper?

Oh goodness! She laughed so hard she almost felt tears forming.

She returned Kurt's letter to it's original state, as if it had never had wax at all.

She re-opened her own letter, then. She turned it over to write her reply. Biting her thumb, she turned the digit so that blood ran to her fingernail. She wrote a message on the paper for Mairsil.

Give me a time and date to meet, Chev- Ceinwyn

She placed all of the letters on the ground, as if the birds had dropped them.

"A message M'lord", the servant girl said as she handed Mave a message.

Taking the letter over to his desk, he sat down as he read.

"Hmm, Interesting..." was as he said as he finished reading and picked up pen and parchment to reply.

Lord Mairsil,

It has been quite a while old friend. I have found a place in the Legion of Justice but I would enjoy seeing you and other old friends. Let me know when and I will attempt to be there and see if I may help you in some way with your endeavors.

*signed with a flourish*
Lord Mave Gerhart

*letter closed and sealed with the Gerhart family crest*

Calling the servant back over, Mave hands her the letter.

"Lay this on the old guild table on the roof of the keep. I'm sure that he has a winged emissary flying around waiting on a response."

With a nod, she runs up the stairs with the letter.

Alessandra read the note and shuddered. The Dark Order. The mere words made her blood once again turn cold. Yes there had been a time she had fought alongside those that she called brothers, sisters and friends, but that time had long passed. Whatever could they want with her again? She sighed softly and pulled out a piece of parchment and sent it to her good friend Mave Gerhart.

To Lord Mave Gerhart,

Greetings my friend. It is my hope that this finds you well. I have recieved a most interesting letter from a mutual aquaintance, and I seek your counsul. I do fear the return to the land of Dark Cove, and would not do so unless you think there is merit of it. Please advise a friend in her time of worry.

In Justice,
Lady Alessandra

She quickly sealed the note and sent it with her messenger to the well known keep of Lord Gerhart.

Mave was standing at a window looking out as he saw the messenger approaching. Recognizing it as Lady Alessandra's messenger he opened the door himself, took the message and immediately read over it.

Motioning for the messenger to come inside and help himself to some refreshment, Mave went over to his desk to pen a response.

My Dear Lady Alessandra,

I believe I know the letter you speak of for I was delivered a similar one. I will be meeting with them for the simple purpose of seeing what support this has and to speak with Lord Mairsil to find out the details. If you wish you could accompany me. Even if nothing comes of it, I feel it is always best to know of things that may be affecting this land before they come to pass.

Yours in Honor,
*signed with a flourish*
Lord Mave Gerhart

*letter sealed with the Gerhart family crest*

Motioning to his own servant, Mave hands her they reply.

"After Lady Alessandra's messenger has eaten and rested, give him this response to return with" he says with a smile.

Smiling in return, she walks towards the kitchen.

*Nadia looked up from the potions she was mixing . She sensed a presence long since forgotten, but some how not completely.
She wiped her hands on her apron and walked to the door of the keep called Chaos.
Major Kane had not been in residence in many months so she had the keep to herself and was used to quiet. She opened the door , peering out and found a scroll. She opened and read it . A slow wickedly delightful grin crossed her face. She went to her room and wrote a quick reply*

Sir,

I had thought all the Dark Order dead or spread to the four winds. It is glad I am to hear all did not parish in the mists. I escaped only because I did and do not reside in Dark Cove. Please summon me when the people of the Dark Order gather once more.

Signed
