The night was dark, the mood was darker. The Midnight Knights clan had just completed a successful raid on the newly established clan Guardians of the Void. Above the smoldering ruins of the small village, the leader wrung his hands and cried out into the night. Never again would he trust an outsider with the keys to the gate. Slowly and cautiously the villagers came out of their hiding places, distraught at the damage dealt by the enemy. Their leader drew himself up and as his people congregated before him, he raised his arms and spoke.
"Tonight, a great evil has been done, and we have found an enemy. This place can no longer be our home, not while the fiends know our defenses. Ready yourselves, tonight we ride. To seek a new home, and a new life"
The people whispered amongst themselves angrily, scowls on every face.
"This is your fault Reggie! Your mistreatment of our guests and of us has led to this disaster!" The people shouted in agreement, urging their spokesperson on. "We cannot bear the load of your tyranny any longer. It is an outrage! Yes, we will leave this pitiful ruin, but not with you at our head! We march as freemen!"
The people cheered as they gathered their meager belongings and begin the trek to find new homes. Reggie stood in disbelief, his face flushed in anger, and he stormed away and slowed faded into the gloom.
