Shadowlands Horde Letter #6
Listen to the tale....
In battle, one warrior is very like another. When the tainted wind blows, who is to say which one belong to us, and which to the Lady Sun?
The Shadow has proved a valuable ally. It gives us the twisted corpses it leaves behind and adds to our armies with each victory it takes. We can use it as a tool, until a better weapon is found.
The Moon is dead--our father, who loved us. Mourn his death with blood.
But that is not all.
The Sun is gone. She weeps bitter tears, and hot pools grow in our homelands. Strange creatures leap from them, ready to destroy the murderers of Onnotangu. Another tool. And at Otosan Uchi, while the others were fighting to slay Onnotangu, a dark Lion lord bowed to the minions of the Horde. Not all of the Kitsu have come to us, but from those few who bargain with their souls, we have gained much.
We have claimed a victory at Otosan Uchi, and now the West Wall of the palace is ours. Beneath the surface of the slick stone, the enchantment is crumbling and tainted, no longer a defense for the Emperor's palace. One day we shall attack that wall, and it will bow to our might. It is a hidden Taint within Otosan Uchi's deepest heart, a mark upon the city itself.
And soon, the Moto say, they will march to the north to meet with their brethren. I do not trust their new "general", but they claim the prophecy will come true. She will lead them to the north, to battle and to victory.
I can still hear Shahai's laughter, even so very far away...
