[Beleth]

---

It had been a very long time since the Abyss had seen this many adventurers, few used to venture so far into the darkness…

Years had passed since Lord Beleth left Britannia for the lower levels of this horrific paradise, years since the Skull had disappeared. As the Daemon Lord wandered the halls of the upper levels of the Abyss he casually tossed a fireball here or a flamestrike there, usually ending the life of some foolish mortal. Death and destruction was prevalent here once again, the in-fighting had slowed as a fresh crop of victims presented itself. Something was different this night however, something was off. Lord Beleth continued on, ignoring numerous potential kills which in and of itself was a strange thing. Atop his nightmare the Daemon Lord made his way north towards the Slasher’s lair.

As he neared his destination, the Daemon Lord was struck by magical energy and forced from his mount. The nightmare reared in pain and collapsed, dead. Its spirit now wandered the abyss awaiting rebirth. Beleth quickly found his feet and looked up now seeing the Slasher of Veils standing before him. The Daemon Lord took his true form and now stood toe to toe with the beast. Finally Beleth noticed he was not alone, the thing that drew him here was a group of necromancers and undead warriors, and they too were engaged in combat with the Slasher. The beast did not want to die and magical rocks larger then cannon balls began to fall from the sky assaulting its attackers. Next came the flame, as the beast began flooding the room with walls of fire and powerful explosions. It did little good however as in the end all that was left of the Slasher of Veils was its large daemonic corpse in the center of the room.

Beleth looked down, first at the corpse of the beast, then to the group who aided in its death. The Daemon Lord returned to his usual form and examined the faces of those in the room. Only one person stood out amongst the group, a person from Beleth’s past and the reason he had been sent here to help destroy the Slasher. A former High Priest of Oblivion was amongst this hunting party and that could only mean one thing… It was back in Sosaria.

“Take me to your Lich Lord, Church and I have much to discuss.”

The Daemon Lord had returned - Britannians, Tokunese, and Malasians alike will know true fear.
