Description
When The Patchwork King was finally slayed by Brohm, and the Iron Legion was pushed back, what was left of the country was ruin and wreckage. Castles turned to rubble, towns nothing but ash, and the people who survived the brutal war now had to face a harsher reality. The country tried its best to pick up the pieces and restore normality, but with the nation in shambles, it was difficult. There was some whispers that said that The Patchwork King may have won in the end, that the nation would never recover. But from the ashes and debris rose four men who did not shy away from the challenge and chaos. These four swore to rebuild the nation and to bring peace back to the land. One took up construction and repair of towns and cities. Another took to books and wisdom to devise new systems and plans. One looked after resource gathering, so that construction could run smoothly and families would have food on the table. The last turned to justice and peace, making sure to snuff out crime whenever it tried to prey on the weak. The four led armies of men and women to complete these grand tasks, soon having homes springing from the ground and fields filled with food. The country began to heal, and soon the shadow of the war began to fade. People had hope once again. As the rebuilding efforts continued, more and more people and rulers bestowed the four with power, wealth and influence. With the four being the backbone of the revival, the people had no problem pushing off all responsibility and effort onto the four. Everyone believed that if these four remained in power, the nation would go beyond normality and soon become a superpower to the rest of the world. It wouldn't be long before the four had fixed everything, and life would continue as it was before. But things were brewing, things that no one expected.

The four men who had taken on such great responsibility and power were now becoming consumed by the work. Their devotion to the cause was turning more and more into desire. They had the power to do anything, use anything, or build anything. And as the nation grew closer and closer to normality, the four wanted more. They didn't want their influence to end, and they didn't just want to be a normal world anymore. And on one day, unknown to the rest of the world, the four men came together and became the Armed Lords. Together they would continue their efforts and create a utopia that would shadow the rest of the world. They would reign supreme and all would be in awe of their conquests. But it didn't stop there, as the four were soon visited by beings from above. The angels had come.

The Elucidated Angel came down to the man who had become Lord Khara. Khara had been responsible for the logistics and planning of the grand revival, thinking of new ways to grow, build and adapt. He and a team of scholars spent months in mountains of books, finding ways to help the nation heal. But all this knowledge was not enough for Khara, he didn't want to find knowledge from old books and scrolls, he wanted to make it. He wanted to be the man who birthed new ideas and inventions, and have his name forever remembered. With this, this angel of knowledge promised him the power to open is mind and to see beyond all. His mind would be all consuming, all knowing, with an army of scholars and wise men paling in significance. Khara accepted this promise and sold his soul to the angel. The Elucidated Angel took his soul and turned it into a red crystal, which was placed into a holy staff of divine power. The other three joined with their respective angels and sold their souls as well. With new powers and weapons in hand, the Armed Lords strode out into the world and started to build their utopia.

The corruption of Lord Khara became evident to the people when scholars and wise men began to disappear. The population of the whole city that he resided in vanished, leaving the streets and markets empty. Those who came to investigate found the citizens sealed within their homes, all in some coma-like state. Many were emaciated and fused to cocoons of filth and waste, having not moved for weeks. Using his power, Lord Khara had put them in some type of trance, in which he linked his mind to theirs and used their brains as if they were his own. People wasted away as their minds calculated, dreamed, theorized and imagined things for Lord Khara, the information flowing into his own, dominating mind. He used this knowledge to fill countless of scrolls, and to inform the other Armed Lords of new methods to fulfill their dreams.

Soldiers came to stop Lord Khara, but they fell to his awesome power. His staff was capable of casting devastating spells, but they weren't the worst of it. With his staff, he could force his foes into these knowledge comas, and use them as think tanks for him. Pulling from their minds, he would find out the weaknesses, plans and strategies of the still awake soldiers, and use it to defeat them. Their sleeping comrades would use their own knowledge and experience to formulate plans to kill their friends, and Lord Khara used them with glee. It seemed like the Armed Lords could not be stopped.

But in this dire time, Brohm once again arrived to save the day. Calling together a band of heroes, he faced off against the Armed Lords and was able to defeat them. Taking their weapons and souls, the heroes took them away to a place the Armed Lords would never find them. Sealing them away with powerful wards and spells, the weapons were forever lost to the Armed Lords, who were left to escape into the wilderness, powerless and lost.

It has been decades since the fall of the Armed Lords, and many believe that they died in the wilderness. But some say that something of them remains, forever searching for the weapons and souls that gave them such power and purpose.

For Lord Khara, tales tell of a hidden library that contains the scrolls that he wrote with the minds of a thousand men. These forbidden scrolls were said to contain knowledge so advanced and warped, that a common man would go mad reading them. But the information on these scrolls would surely bestow the reader with advancements in all fields. Some say that if such scrolls exist, they should be used to move humanity into a new age, while others believe they should be destroyed on sight. Knowledge birthed from torture and death should not be used in the world.
