Game Lore - The fate of the five advisers who survived the eruption in the overseas empire

Writer: Писатель

January 2013 was a tragic time for the overseas Empire. The volcano, which had been dormant on their lands for centuries, awakened, and in a few days erased the whole state from the face of the earth. Their Empress died during the rescue of her subjects. She did not have time to get to the ships of her Advisors, Quetlisse и Thutkra.

The leaders of the "orphaned" people were the five surviving advisors: the knight Kalirosh, the Necromancer Feurlis, the Magician Bilir, the Dark Elf Kh'Everst and the Demon Arabat IV the Flame-Soul. It was they who persuaded our Empress, Tolgar and Grammith to take under their wing a dispossessed nation. What has happened to them in the 8 years since the tragedy?

We are talking about events that took place during the merger of .com and .ru servers.

The chronicler of the international server described this moment in the history of the overseas Empire:

Details of the meeting of the overseas advisers with the government of our Empire can be read in this topic.

The valiant knight Kalirosh posed first of all questions of duty and honor. The tragedy of the volcanic eruption was a heavy blow for the grey-haired warrior. He was about to retire, but instead of despondency, he directed all his energy to strengthen the defense of the new Empire and train the army.
Sir Kalirosh became close friends with Warlord Grammith and soon began to participate in numerous battles side by side with the mighty warrior. Together, they visited portals, repelled the invasion of нthe Empire's enemies/url], searched for treasures и and trained soldiers during Quick Tournaments.

But fate does not care about the concepts of honor and justice. The noble knight Kalirosh died as a result of insidious deception: The Crown Prince Albrecht of the Fire Clan Dwarves was hiding a murderer who was preparing an attempt on the Empress’ life. In an attempt to catch the criminal, Kalirosh was mortally wounded and killed, while defending his new homeland.

"Internal Affairs" is only a beautiful name for an imperial spymaster. Feurlis devoted his life to intrigue, the search for conspirators and interrogations. In his skilled hands, the Empress's enemies revealed their worst secrets, the "noble" Crown Prince Albrecht died during torture, and even the highest ranks did not always know which side the necromancer was on at any moment.

He arrived in the Empire a little-known necromancer, but in a short period of time with the support of the Empress, managed to organize a wide network of interrogators and spies. According to rumors, the ruler knew about his rare skills and chose him for this position, as her court has long since fallen to distrust.

If the Empress needed to entrust someone with the dirty work, Feurlis immediately found himself there. It seemed that the necromancer gets pleasure from the suffering of his captives...

Now he continues to serve his second Empress, but who knows, quite possibly, right now he weaves another conspiracy against her?

Councilor Bilir liked to pore over books and magical artifacts more than to take part in battles. He blamed himself for failing to predict the volcano's awakening, and only working together with Abu-Bakir was able to ease the burden of guilt.

The magicians quickly found common ground and began to study the nature of portals together. But the two scientists in one study are worse than two chefs in the kitchen. Over time, their work together turned into a confrontation, and then into an open rivalry.

Abu-Bakir or Bilir?

Who remained faithful to the Empress, and who secretly worked for the benefit of other interests? One of the most provocative questions is still open.

However, Bilir is far from political intrigue, he still does everything for the benefit of science and is ready to trade anything to «quietly spend time in his cozy laboratory surrounded by drawings and formulas».

The skillful strategist and warrior Kh’Everst is also a brilliant diplomat. Largely because of his eloquence, the overseas people joined the Empire without conditions, and the surviving counselors joined the Empress's inner circle.

Subsequently, the dark elf repeatedly resorted to his art of diplomacy. Thus, it was he who persuaded the Tamer Dark Elves to lay down their arms and peacefully join the Empire. He also tried to reconcile the light and dark elves, smoothing the corners and trying to hide the ancient enmity.

Military clans should thank the adviser: thanks to him they have clan buildings!

Now Kh'Everst continues to participate in hostilities on the side of the Empire and uses his limitless talents in organising various tournaments.

The Empire lacked a good economist. Therefore, the accession to the council of Arabat IV Flame-Soul became a significant day for the whole state.

First, it was he who carried out the economic reform of the artifacts and reduced their cost.

Secondly, he proposed tax reform, which would benefit both the Empire and its military clans which from that moment were able to fight for taxes.  

Third, he persuaded the Empress to give the management of facilities over to the Lords and Ladies. Now there are shares in the Empire.

Arabata IV Flame-Soul does not care about politics, and even war interests him only in terms of numbers. Now he continues to work on improving the economy of the Empire.
