Season Two
The Telara Saga: Fall of the Dragon Cults

The Guardians marched across Telara on a quest to destroy the Defiant leaders. Conquering every territory on the way, the Guardians found themselves at the gates of Meridian ready for battle. War erupted blanketing Freemarch and Meridian in blood. hundreds fell upon the soil only to be brought back again to fall again. Hours past and blood tainted the soil.

The Defiant forces fought with all their might sending the Guardians to the grave time an time again. As night fell a scout rushed into Dacia Ultan's den and delivered a message. The message that would change the war forever.

The Dragon Cults used Cyril's blind quest for power to encourage a battle with Asha Catari who's revenge thirsty antics made easy prey to the cleaver ways of the Endless Court. The intent was to keep the Guardians and Defiants killing each other long enough for the Endless Court and the other Dragon Cults to establish a foothold and regain the upper hand in Telara.

The now enlightened Guardians and Defiants realize that it is only with the strength of the Guardians and the intellect of the Defiants that Telara shall be reborn. They join forces for the next chapter of the Telara Saga.

Strength of the Dragon Cults

Each Dragon Cult begins at the rank of Untouchable and as the season progresses each rift or foothold defeated will weaken the forces of the particular Dragon Cult. Each Cult begins with 1,000 points of strength will decrease in strength based on the difficulty of the objective.

	The Abyssal		Vulnerable
	House Aelfwar		Decimated
	The Wanton		Decimated
