The Conspiracies Against Humanity

By Brother Pemenard

I present here my case that humanity as a people is faced with many dangers we must fight. Chapter One: The Gargoyle Race

To talk about the gargoyles is to ask the question: What is their origin? While similar to a human in size and bearing, gargoyles are relatives to demons not humans. They live with their kin in Hythloth. A demon-slayer weapon in the hand of the righteous will kill these vermin as quickly as their balron cousins. This connection cannot be ignored. Demons destroyed Magincia. Demons invaded Yew. Daemons are the dark servants of the Shadowlord faction. Look at any major threat to humanity, and you will find a demon close at hand.

Some will argue that not all gargoyles share the brutality and villainy of their kin. They will point to Ver Lor Reg as a symbol of this. This view of history is flawed. These gargoyles were servants of the creature Exodus. Perhaps we “freed” them as they would have us believe, but I see beneath the surface of their ruse. Their city sits very close to the sleeping Exodus, an area swarming with their demonic cousins and less “enlightened” gargoyles. Too close to not need a strong standing army. Too close to never be attacked. We were duped by these creatures, duped for a few useless trinkets and trade skills.

Now we are faced with a new bunch of these demonic creatures. This group has conveniently been living deep underground beyond horrible dungeon caverns. These gargoyles have a standing army. These gargoyles craft powerful magic weapons and use strange lost magic. These gargoyles have been invited into our city by the blood-traitor Dawn. There is now a direct gate between humanity’s capital and the city of a lost demon tribe!

Mark my words, the wings of a gargoyle army will block out the sun over Britain if they are not stopped.

Chapter 2: The Elves

To look at the elf menace completely, we must look at history. Elves disappeared into “lore and mystery” during the cataclysm caused by Mondain. The few of this motley crew who remained in Sosaria forced themselves onto various humans, mixing their foul blood with human purity.

Their “return” has been nothing but problems for humanity. These immoral creatures have taught honest humans their foul spellweaving, an “art” focused on seduction and consorting with demons. They have brewed foul poisons and given these to elf assassins who due to the natural shadowy nature of elves are almost impossible to catch.

However, their worst crime took the form of Casca of Heartwood. This elf traitor managed to become king pro-tempore by deceit and murder. His action resulted in the deaths of many loyal to Britannia and humanity, including my own brother, Morton.

The danger of the elf is not in swords or armies, but in their duplicity. To trust one for even a moment is to risk a dagger in the back.

Chapter 3: The Meer

The Meer “accidentally” plagued the city of Yew. The Meer“inadvertently” got humanity involved in their ancient blood-feud with the Juka. The Meer have shared less of their magic and trade skills than even the elves and gargoyles. The Meer hide their weakness and desperation behind mystery and secrecy. At best, they are incompetent and pathetic. At the worst, they use humanity as a sacrificial shield. Neither option is acceptable to me.

Chapter 4: The Hostile Races

The Juka, Orcs, Trolls, Lizardmen, Ratment, Ettins...the list goes on. These supposedly “intelligent” beings continue to plague the day to day lives of honest humans. It isn’t a productive use of time to recall every crime these foul creatures have committed against humanity. However, we must never forget all of the innocent lives lost to these blood-thirsty thug species. Many of them worked for the elf Casca. Many of them work with Minax or the Shadowlords or Exodus or any other power that would see us in chains. For your children, never forget this. Some have signed meaningless treaties with these butchers! There can be no peace with any non-humans, and to forget this is madness!

Chapter 5: Sherry the Mouse

I will talk briefly about this creature. She is unique I believe, though she may be a runty ratman for all I know. Some would allow her small size and ability dupe them into ignoring her crimes against us. I will not. Her sedition against the humans who feed and protect her starts with her book. In this work of fiction and slander, she “exposes” two noble human beings, showing them willing to sacrifice all of us. Lord British, who she told stories to for years, was confused by her mad chitterings. He left us without leadership and protection because of her fanciful stories. Her slander against Blackthorn pushed a great man to criminal deviancy. This horrid rat now has her sights set on the new queen.

Chapter 6: Dawn of Yew

“Queen” Dawn shows her inexperience and callous nature when she deals with these creatures.

She was “friends” with the Meer Dasha. This relationship hindered her ability to effectively wage war against the Juka. Instead of defending the contemptible Meer with human blood, she should have sacrificed them for her own kind.

Dawn lived in Yew, even when its connection to Heartwood was formed. While there is no confirmation, there are rumors that humanity’s queen may not be entirely human. Even if she is a human of full blood, no doubt she was indoctrinated with elvish heresy in recent years. This might explain her lack of speed in moving against the elf lord named Casca.

In the recent troubles, she forged an alliance with Dragons! Rather than treating these lizards as the beast of burdens they are, she treated them with respect and deference. Out of amusement or something more sinister, they didn’t simply just roast and eat this mad little girl! Many humans died to protect these dragons who very quickly flew the coup.

Now, the little “queen” is forging alliances with the new gargoyle menace. Soon, we will have to worry about gargoyle taskmasters running Britain! We must take a stand now before we lose our way as a people. Humanities darkest hour is in the hands of a monster-loving nitwit from Yew!
