Kingdom under fire elf
Devastated, Lucretia creates a funerary pyre for Rithrin. However, they back stabbed him and fled from the Holy Ground. He plotted with the Ecclesians and showed the Patriarch the location of the Ancient Heart.
They soon come across Rithrin, but by then it’s too late.
The half-vampires united all the Dark Elves under a single banner for the first time in history, and this is how they repay them. Morene takes her life and says how foolish the Kaedes are. Morene begins to slowly walk towards her as she banters Lucretia for assistance. She says how undignified it is for the great High Elves to be servants of such lowly creatures. The survivor tries to get Lucretia to turn on Morene and the rest of the half-vampires. As they search they come across a lone Kaedes survivor. Lucretia’s concern for Rithrin reemerges and hopes she can save him in time. Once that is done she will take the Ancient Heart and give it to Valdamar. Cirith’s job was to act like a total airhead when in reality she was an assassin sent to monitor and kill Rithrin. She states how blind Lucretia is, and that she was well aware of the Kaedes resistance. Morene finally begins to reveal really why she was appointed as Lucretia’s overseer. The next day Morene and Lucretia learn that Rithrin and Cirith ran off together. Rithrin tries one last time to get Lucretia to admit she still loves him, but she doesn’t budge. Rithrin notes that Lucretia is still using the sword he gave her when they were going out, however, she claims it’s not the same weapon. Morene responds by saying that it makes perfect sense to defend the location, implying there is something of great importance there. Rithrin alludes to wheels of motion being set for something great. Lucretia says the decision makes no sense as there is nothing of strategic importance down there. The armies head back to Esse where they learn Valdamar has ordered them to protect the Holy Ground. The airships instantaneously turn the tide of war in Hironiden’s favor and forces Lucretia and Rumen to flee. They assault Hironiden, but then on the brink of victory are attacked by dwarven airships. During this time Rithrin still acts as a hopeless romantic trying to earn back Lucretia’s affection but she never gives in. Cirith becomes very attracted to Rithrin. Morene doubts that they can take the city without Regnier’s assistance, but commander Rumen and Lucretia are certain they can.ĭuring this time Rithrin continually conspires against his half-vampire overlords. However, following that campaign Regnier’s forces head to the Alter of Destruction, while Lucretia and her army go to invade Hironiden. With the assistance of Regnier, Lucretia and her forces take the Glaucus river, and even capture Esse. However, Lucretia wants nothing to do him now. Rithrin also shows affection for Lucretia, as they were formerly lovers. Lucretia thinks the idea is suicide, but Cirith grows quite attached to the idea. Rithrin continually tries to get Lucretia to join the Kaedes behind Morene’s back. Cirith, Lucretia’s officer, quickly takes a liking to Rithrin. The reason behind this is the fact that he is the leader of the Kaedes, a Dark Elf resistance group that plans to overthrow their half-vampire overlords. The Dark Elf was defeated by Gerald in a duel but refused to do the honorable thing by killing himself. Early on in Lucretia’s campaign she encounters Rithrin.
