Warzone The Dark Legion History: Let us begin with the
discovery of the Steel Tablet on Pluto. It was the Imperial Conquistadors
that discovered and disturbed the Steel Tablet thus releasing
the Dark Symmetry into the universe of mankind. But this cannot
be seen as an accident, this was no chance discovery. Besides
the natural curiosity of man there was something else at work,
a hidden force acting on the Conquistadors like the lure of a
serpent. When the doomed Conquistador touched the Steel Tablet
it was like the toiling of a mighty bell, a resonance going out
into the void but it was also a sign, an omen declaring that the
fruit of man's soul was ripe. Swollen by greed, ambition and betrayal
the human race had finally proved itself a worthy sacrifice to
the Dark Soul. The Dark Symmetry spread throughout our reality
warping it to the purpose of the Dark Soul and rendering a large
part of human technology so maliciously unreliable that to use
it was to court disaster.
The Dark Symmetry was only the vanguard, the
precursor of the arrival of the Dark Legion itself. In much the
same way as mankind altered entire worlds to accommodate his presence,
so the Dark Symmetry worked upon the reality of mankind to accommodate
the presence of the Dark Soul.
Some fifty years later, when the planet Nero
was discovered its significance was not recognized, though many
were filled with an unreasonable sense of foreboding by its sudden
appearance and disturbing presence. The first recorded awareness
of the Dark Soul's existence came from the speeches of a young
political and religious activist by the name of Nathaniel Durand.
He was the first person to bring the imminent threat of the Dark
Legion to public attention. But it wasn't until some fifty years
after his inauguration as Cardinal of the Brotherhood that the
Dark Legion launched its first massive assault.
The physical presence of the Dark Legion was
released into the solar system after the ever-inquisitive Imperial
Conquistadors broke the First Seal of Repulsion on the planet
Nero. In the year 51 Y.C. the Dark Legion launched a massive attack
across the solar system raising up a host of Dark Citadels and
bringing new levels of terror to the battlefields of mankind.
It was only the Cardinal's vision and strength
of faith that saved mankind from complete annihilation. Leading
a combined human force he defeated the Dark Legion during the
Venusian Crusade and their presence began to withdraw from the
solar system. A brief show of strength by Algeroth's Nepharite
Overlord Saladin on Mars, reminded humanity that the Dark Legion
was not completely vanquished but had simply retreated, biding
their time before the next and final assault on the soul of mankind.
Now after almost twelve hundred years of physical
absence they have returned. The Dark Legion is back to finish
the task they began so long ago and as the forces of mankind struggle
in the grip of the Second Corporate Wars there seems little hope
that they shall survive this the ultimate attempt of their worlds,
their lives, their very soul.
The Dark Legion Military: There
are five faces of the Dark Soul and between them they command
the demonic forces known as the Dark Legion. There is evidence
of rivalry and conflict between the Dark Apostles whose appetite
for destruction knows no bounds. Although they often combine their
forces in attacking human strongholds their minions have been
known to battle each other with equal ferocity.
Serving each of the Apostles as the lieutenants
and commanders of their armies are the Nepharites, the mightiest
of which are known as Neparite Overlords. All Nepharites are unique.
They mirror the nature of the Apostle they serve but, whichever
that may be, they remain a most terrifying adversary. They are
powerful demons, both physically strong and well versed in the
ways of the Dark Symmetry.
Under the trall of the Nepharites are a whole
host of abominations, These creatures of Darkness do not possess
the identity of self in the way members of a human corporation
might. They are simple vessels of the Dark Soul's spite.
The military might of the Dark Legion is vast
and terrible. Their armies swarm out of the Dark Citadels in seemingly
inexhaustible numbers. The human forces of the corporations find
themselves faced with demonci visions from hell. But worse than
this they face their own fallen comrades in the perverted form
of the mindless Undead Legionnaires, the cruel and stupid Necromutants
and Centurions who have been warped and made evil but still possess
some vestige of foul intellect.
Among the massed forces of the Dark Legion are
further divisions formed around the nature of the Dark Apostles
who each favour particular abominations to fight in the ranks
of their armies.
IIian, First Mistress of the Dark Soul:
The Templars of IIian are almost human in appearance but appearances
can be deceiving. These powerfully muscled soldiers of evil are
semi-mechanical beings, torn from their original plane of existence
and sent to fight humankind against whom their appetite for death
can be sated.
The Nepharites of IIian make no pretence of
hiding their mastery of the Dark Symmetry. They delight in drawing
on powerful elemental forces and unleashing them with vicious
venom at the cowering forces of mankind. Lightening bolts and
blasts of freezing energy rupture and burn the flesh of those
who stand against her.
Algeroth, Apostle of War and Master
of the Dark technology: Algeroth rains chaos and destruction
upon any field of battle that feels his presence. In his ranks
you will find many of the violent apparitions that the Dark Legion
has to offer. The steel-fleshed Razides and the unearthly Ezoghouls
that tear into battle knowing no fear. The fearful Nepharite Overlord
Alakhai is infamous as he was the first such creature to be seen
by human eyes and Saladin, who contested Mars and branded the
planet with the symobol of his master and the planet's two moons
with the symbols of Semai and Muawijhe so that none should forget
the power of the Dark Legion.
Muawijhe, Lord of Insanity:
His is the domain of the mind and the Screaming Legionaires are
testimony to the depths of torment at his command. Then there
are the Zenithian Soulslayers whose very appearance is enough
to drive a man insane. These towering diabolic creatures wield
the Dark Symmetry even as they wield their vicious ripping claws.
Not only can the Nepharites of Muawijhe summon visions of terror
inot the minds of men but, by manipulation of the Dark Symmetry,
they can draw nightmarish creatures through the diminished membranes
that exist between the many planes of existence.
Semai, The Betrayer, The Speaker of
Lies: The Heretics of Semai are possessed of the most
depraved minds imaginable. The insidious mind of Semai is a powerful
force of evil. He preys on the fears of the weak-willed, seeding
their minds with false promises of safety. He is known as the
Betrayer, for those who fall victim to his powerful visions turn
against their friends and comrades, giving themselves over to
the Dark Legion as the shadow of treachery claims them. The Nepharites
of Semai follow their master's lead in terms of deception. They
often resemble humans, and they use this likeness to infilitrate
human ranks and carry out their task, to turn people against their
own and to slay them if they refuse to be turned.
Demnogonis, Prince of Pestilence:
Demnogonis looks upon the wounds in human flesh as fertile ground
in which to plant his wasting seeds of rot. Within his ranks you
will find the Blessed Legionnaires, corpses from the stinking
earth, raised up and animated by the power of Dark Symmetry. The
legions of Demnogonis wield weapons that cause disease and the
dreaded Curators dress the wounds of the injured with parasitic
balms and devices designed by the withered hand of Necrotechnology.
