Happy early Valentines day everyone.
There is still little information being released on King Rayl II's death, but Reporter Turbolk's accusation was released when it was discovered the the king was quote, "not shot".
Aldenburg was recently attacked by Bandits, and most of it's buildings were burned before King Rayl and our highlight Marauder Derek arrived. The bandits were wiped out shortly after the Dereklanders arrived.
Interview with Derek:
So, could you tell us a little about you?
"Sure, I was born and raised in Derekland by Rick Kains. He was the previous Emerald there, the Emerald's second in command of all forces, and if it isn't apparent, I was named after our country. When I was twenty, I succeeded my father in skill and became the new Emerald, that's about when I started to study magic as well."
Magic? Is it necessary with your fighting skills?
"Well, I say that you should always broaden your horizons, you never know when something may come in handy."
How did you learn magic when you were already twenty? Most magicians start at an early age.
"Well, I hadn't learned it quite yet, I was just studying magic, and its effects and theories about it. I can sum up all that I have learned about magic in one key rule:
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
You see, magic is only what people believe it is, so, if I believe that magic is my strength, then it is."
Wow, don't you think that's a little harsh?
"No."
Anything else?
"I've got the Bag of Randomness, I struck a deal with the God of Random, I can pull absolutely anything out of this bag as long as I don't use it as a weapon. If anybody else takes something from the bag, it's always coal, I'm not sure why."
Got something to say to future Marauders?
"Power is Knowledge!"
