The Rumor

Retold by Ryushihan Lok-ri

Set himself must have seen great favor in the Dread Lord. For hundreds of years the House was a name to be feared across many lands. Then the most gracious of feats happened upon Lord Vorgen as he was bitten by a giant serpent. As if Set himself beckoned Lord Vorgen…his body vanished. Some say he now serves by the side of Set. Others say he was sent on a holy mission. This would be the catalyst that would cause many high ranking priest to feud within the House. Slowly, throughout time, the House was split over the lands. Rumor began somewhere that an emergence had been heard. It is belived that a few council of the nobles from the split up clan of Lok-ri have been in talks, and it is rumored the many clans are merging back into the once powerful clan that was Lok-ri under the command of the High Lady Aramina Lok-ri and her trusted council. There have been rumors of the Clans selling there skills as mercenaries to gain the monetary to rebuild. Yet, no one has confirmed or lived to tell of such reunion. Beware of those who cast and weave for if such rumors are true, none are safe in those lands, for the ancient house of Lok-ri had no problems enslaving everything in its path…
