Excerpt from the journal of Draxus Ultimax:
The sun shone brightly before it fell into shadow that afternoon. A darkness the likes I had never seen blocked it out from view completely. Soon thereafter a great quake was felt through the ground and the walls of my city Vongottstein shook as though they would tumble to the ground themselves.
I scrambled atop a tower to see if I could discern what the source of this rumbling was and to my horror a great host of demonic warriors adorned with evil armour weilding the darkest weapons and flying horrible standards were pouring out of the ground towards my city. "This was the day of judgement for all creatures of Thain," I thought to myself. The Demonic Knights were chanting something as they marched, "Gorrath…Gorrath.."
I donned my armour swiftly, for I was well versed in the art of combat and was considered the strongest warrior in Vongottstein.
Vongottstein's army poured as a river out of the doors of my city and I raced ahead of them to meet these Demonic Knights head on. To my terror I saw something in the distance driving them on. A Balor, something I have never seen, nor had anyone on the surface of this world, as they were thought only legend.
I carved a line through the demonic knights as their evil metal burned through my armour and seared my skin. All around me men were screaming in terror to their horrid deaths. I will never forget that sound or the bloodshed.
I met the Balor head on and clashed my sword against his flesh though my weapon was useless and could not pierce his tough hide. With a mighty blow I was felled in a ruinous heap on the battlefield. Gorrath, the Balor, which I later learned was his name, picked up my limp body as I was drifting in a semi-conscious state and laughed a gritty scraping laugh. With my last breaths of life I sang a hearty song to the Eternal Celestial Light to send me swiftly and surely to Valhalla as Gorrath tore my earthly body to pieces.
In my last fleeting moment of life I saw a massive series of lightning that struck the ground. Riding the lightning were Celestial Knights and they to the cheers of what men were left alive, joined the fight and electricity crackled all through the air.
I recall the laughter of succubi and then… Blackness…
