The tower of Balentyne Burns The Army of the Fireax marches south to wage war on Talingarde. Our villains now travel north by barge towards the frontier city of Farholde where they will learn more about their mission. The Ninth has so far have partway succeeded in this mission to find the Tears of Achlys for they have found the Horn of Abaddon where a vile cult known as the sons of the pale hourseman once lay claim before the Victor destroyed the cult. It is the Duty of the Ninth to Secure the horn and brake the Silver seal that holds back the Deamonic Prince known as Ketra-Kali eats the eyes to gain the Tears.

The Party has met two Individuals who are interested in the conquest of the Island and are their benefactors (They will serve a patrons for your villain to help determinate how your villain can fit in and to help me introduce them to the party. The Cardinal is Asmodeus themed and the Herald has themes of a pagan and draconic nature, for a third party of evil talk to me more about it.)

Cardinal Thorn
The Cardinal is the last High Priest of Asmodeus on the island of Talingarde and has spent years in preparation to bring the faith of the dread father back to the island. At this moment the first part of his plan has been sent in motion. The Ninth Knot has broken the Watchwall for the First Knot and now must accomplish their next mission which starts at Farholde. Which is the gain the tears which Thorn plans to unleash upon Talingarde to weaken the realm against the Army of the Fireax. Thorn has learned about the Herald from his Ninth after one of its original members told him about the Herald whom Thorn views as a rival. How much of a threat Thorn views the Herald is unknown.

The Man in the Dragon Mask
Also more commonly called His Dread Herald whom is a servant of an unknown being called His Dread Monarch. This herald has helped the original party members escape Branderscar and has given gifts, Allies and some cryptic advice but his overall goal is unknown but the party has discovered that he and his dread master have some connection to a ancient civilization that once lived on the island or at least the island was a province of theirs. But what aid can this herald provide we will see...
When the party meet the Herald again he advised to go with thorn's plan and provided some information about the horn and gave hints about a new member of their party. However its not known why the Herald seems to be going Thorn's potentially dangerous plan to unleash a daemonic plague upon the island. Perhaps he knows something that Thorn does not?
