| Nirnrath the Two-Faced
In the time of the Ancient Ancestors, merely months after the death of the Great Ancestor Suxen, a terrible evil held the Highlands in it's morbid grip. The shadow worshipping Voidsworn revered the Uncaring Phelgas as a deity of as worthy note as Suxen himself, seeking the power that He had mastered in his short time ruling the Void. The self named Voidsworn seeked to rule the Highlands that Suxen had ruled, fuelled by the jealousy that Phelgas had himself for his brother, using Sin as their Swords and Treachery as their Shields.
Spreading chaos across the realm via acts of terrorism, they pillaged villages left, right and centre. Committing gross acts of arson, rape and forcing slavery on Suxen's free men and women. This darkest sect of the Voidsworn were lead by the corrupt Nirnrath; once a Scout, a freelance Highlander that knew the Highlands like the back of his own hand. Nirnrath was tempted by the sheer power that Phelgas offered, the ability to hide in the shadows as if he was cloaking himself in a shroud, striking at his foes from literal nothingness allowed the Arathorian immunity from the law, and from the lawless, giving him a reputation like no other.
Thus his evil reign wasn't to last forever, one day, as Nirnrath stalked the nights, he slept under the sunlit plains resting against the calm sea of green fresh from a pillage that left him with an unwilling bed partner for the night and a sack full of fresh food, ale and gold. Yet his dreams weren't as sound as his life was, Nirn was suffering from a nightmare. Filled with never ending days and shadow smiting Light, and tonight was no exception. “Nirnrath!” echoed all day long, “Nirnrath!”, drove him insane. It was the voice of Suxen himself whom slew the Shadow in Nirnrath's heart and enlightened him to the power of the Light.
He was directed by the voice to seek out the Warmongering Ogardin and present himself wholly as a thief, a rapist and a Voidsworn and offer himself as a sacrifice towards redemption. This selfless act shocked the Warmonger whom saw some of himself in the young, black toothed man, and even some of Suxen. No other member of Phelgas' Army had the power within themselves to admit their wrongdoings and seek to redeem themselves so Ogardin, being the better man and guided by the Great Ancestor Himself, put Nirnrath to work. Under the Warmonger's orders, He kept his guise as a Voidsworn and returned to the Army to spy on them, leaking information about their whereabouts and planned attacks and slowly but surely a surprising amount of so called pillages were met with the full wrath of Ogardin's Army, chanting the name of Suxen as the Voidsworn fell in shock, stunned by the almighty warcry, “Ah-Hoom!”.
Even under the orders of the Warmonger, Nirnrath never stopped abusing the Shadow that Phelgas had bestowed upon him, hiding in it ever more but for different ends. Since Suxen touched his life, the Spy had halted all his evil acts; returning money stolen, offering compensation to victims of his other crimes. The Shadow had become a means to an end for Nirnrath, proving that sometimes, you can use Evil for the greater Good. I will add however, that as time went on for the redeemed man, he stopped hiding in the Shadows and evoked natural means of hiding himself becoming the true Master Spy; a Master of Suprises, Disguises and a Master of Cloak and Dagger never known by too many people as simply Nirnrath, the Voidsworn who was.
The moral of this story is that even with a life of sin, you can redeem yourself for past acts. It emphasises Suxen's great forgiveness and proves why even then, Wars were won with not just brawn, but intelligence also. The story also teaches how that such paths are equally as honourable as any soldier, and finally, teaches that too a degree it is moral to abuse evil forces as a means to an end for a greater good. | |
