The Brothers of Valor


With the dark days of Casca's reign over, Britannia looked toward Lady Dawn to ascend the throne and lead the Kingdom into a golden age. A new land had been discovered in the wake of the Shadowlord's defeat, and a new civilization beckoned - offering its clawed hand in friendship.

However, many new beginnings face unseen challenges - each silver lining has its dark cloud. The 'Brothers of Valor' raise their weapons in hatred...


Mission 26, September 20, 22, & 23, 2009- Security
Queen Dawn was to meet Queen Zhah of the Ter Mur gargoyles at Castle British in Britain, and Magnus Grey was determined that the summit was to proceed without incident. The spies scoured Britain and found that John Cullen, an anarchist who helped them demolish Casca's blackrock bomb facility, was preparing to disrupt the Queen's meeting.

The spies tracked down Cullen's whereabouts through his 'business associates' - a xenophobic group led by a man named Pemenard who want a human dominated Sosaria. Because Queen Dawn was meeting with the gargoyle Queen, they deemed her a traitor to humanity and ordered her death. The timers they sold to Cullen were rigged to go off early, destroying Castle British.

Letter, by Brother Pemenard

The spies raced to the Castle to defuse the bombs, and apprehend Cullen. The egotistical man was arrested and thrown in a cell in Yew Prison where his bluster gradually diminished. Unfortunately, someone gave him the means to escape. He did, however, leave a note saying he would gather intelligence on the racists.

Queen Dawn met with Queen Zhah without incident, and the two monarchs opened the moongate system to Ter Mur in the spirit of friendship. Both Queens returned to their respective castles before a horde of the human supremacists attacked the Britain moongate. They were swiftly routed by a large group of loyal humans, elves, and gargoyles.

Mission 27, September 29, 2009 - Wingless
Magnus sadly reported that there had been an incident at the Vesper Customs. The human supremacists attacked a trade negotiation between Britannia and the gargoyles of Ver Lor Reg in Ilshenar. The human customs official had been taken captive, and his gargoyle counterpart had been maimed - her wings torn off.

Ransom Note, by Brothers of Valor

The spies spoke first to Aurlem in Ver Lor Reg, giving their condolences and seeking to learn more about the attack. The gargoyle sent them to the Custom's building where they found a ransom note. The 'Brothers of Valor' was the name of 'Brother' Pemenard's deranged group.

Orders, by Brother Pemenard

Following a trail to Donald Stitches at the docks, it was learned that the 'Brothers' left for Minoc. The spies fought their way through the Brothers' supporters toward Mt. Kendall, where a moongate to their prisoner awaited. Dean Baker was rescued and returned to Britain.

Mission 28, October 6, 2009 - Savage
The Royal Spies are tasked with escorting Queen Dawn during part of her pilgrimage to the Shrines of Virtue. They easily escort Dawn to the Shrines of Honesty and Compassion, but her meditations at the Shrine of Valor are rudely interrupted by Brothers of Valor scum. Upon defeating Brother Samvan, two books are found on his corpse...

Conspiracy, by Brother Pemenard

Once Queen Dawn set off for her next destination, the Spies are sent to Ilshenar to investigate several leads. They find that Brother Pemenard had been dealing with a village of brigands to the northwest of the Honor Moongate. After defeating the Brothers' forces remaining there, Pemenard is actually seen with a group of savages. Tracking him to their fort, Pemenard is cornered but escapes by sending yet another of his followers to his death. Brother Malfard fell victim to his disgusting beliefs, and the relentless courage of the Royal Spies.


Mission 29, October 13, 2009 - Void Nightmare
Rumors of Brothers' activity at the Deuce's Vinculum Inn in Ilshenar causes the spies to stumble upon their plans to attack Ter Mur and the meer with summoned fire daemons. From a note it is learned that Charbon the Pyromancer was hired to perform the feat, but rebelled when he was not paid for his services.

After traveling to Monor, Charbon is easily located and questioned about his employment and daemonic summonings. He tells the Spies that the Brothers of Valor wanted to use the bound daemons to attack the meer village of Lakeshire, and to corrupt one in the Void surrounding Ter Mur.

Letter, by Brother Pemenard

The Spies follow the Brother's trail to the Eastern Desert Outpost and are forced to kill Brother Renasolph. The spies then split up to face both the threat to Ter Mur and Lakeshire at the same time. Four more Brothers are slain in total, as well as a fire daemon in Lakeshire. The daemon in Ter Mur is warped by the void into a 'Void Berserker,' yet it is still quickly defeated. Queen Zhah gives her unofficial thanks.


Mission 30, October 20, 2009 - Demon Code

The daemon Bartholomew had the spies meet him in the library in the abandoned palace within the Abyss. There, he gave them information regarding the activities of the Brothers of Valor. The spies found that the Brotherhood were using orcish slaves to mine in Covetous, and elvin slaves to chop lumber in Yew for ships being built in Jhelom. The Brotherhood’s agents fell to the spies’ assault.

October 26, 2009 - Attack on the High Council of Britannia
During the 324th session of the High Council of Britannia the Brotherhood of Valor made the absurd demand that the Council expel all its nonhuman representatives. After the resounding dismissal of their demands the Brotherhood made a foolhardy attack on the Council Chambers. When the Brothers were defeated, a disturbing note was found on their corpse...

Mission 31, October 27, 2009 - Fairy Diplomacy
The spies escorted Sherry the Mouse to the Twin Oaks Tavern in Ilshenar where she would meet a princess of the Fey and begin treaty negotiations. Unfortunately, the note discovered by the High Council the night before held true and the Brothers of Valor attacked the summit, intending to kill both dignitaries.

Mission 32, November 3, 2009 -
Queen Zhah of Ter Mur requested the spies help recovering a book which had been stolen from the museum in the Royal City. Using clues found at the scene, it was determined the thief came from Ilshenar. Tracking the thief to a brigand camp northwest of the Honor Shrine in Ilshenar it was discovered that the Brothers of Valor was behind the theft.

They apparently had an interest in speaking with wisps and killed a researcher in the Wisp Dungeon to take his research. The spies learned that the Brothers wanted to get specific information from the ethereal creatures, and had learned how to summon a specific information broker.

Letter, by Brother Pemenard

Eventually he is located in the ruined city on the eastern edge of Ter Mur, where he has prepared to cast his modified Armageddon. The spies attack the supremacist before his casting, successfully ending the immediate threat posed by the Brotherhood. The stolen tome is snatched by the ‘strange bird,’ fortunately however, it had already been copied. The spies return a copy to Queen Zhah, earning her gratitude.
