He gather to him other who had been displaced, scarred and terrorized by the destruction of the forest. His singular will forged them into a tight cadre of vicious killers motivated only by vengeance. They were last seen alive in the city square of the capital of Havve , the kingdom they blamed for the destruction of their forest.
It is said that a child of that ruined city spirited the staff from the rubble . . .
