THE BROTHERHOOD | |
And so Nathaniel gazed over the worlds and all he saw was evil. The worlds were filth and waste, decay and destruction. Civil wars were waged on endless battlefields and brother fought brother in the chaos we had inherited. We had turned the cradle of humanity into a burial pit. Traitors and renegades hid in the dark. Outside the borders of the cities mutants, and beasts from the pits of Darkness roamed. Then the veil was lifted and Nathaniel saw the light. He saw the winding road to salvation and he felt the warmth of the cleansing fires that would burn the filth away and once again light up the world. A great power surged through Nathaniel and he found that he could shape the powers of the night at will. He once again gazed over the world, and spoke: Let this be the end of Darkness and the beginning of the triumphant light that will shine over the worlds of man forever.) And around him he gathered those of faith, and they called him their leader. So it was that the Brotherhood was formed to do battle against the Darkness. Nathaniel was the first of the sacred Cardinals. He raised the banners of the just and right and lit the fires of redemption. And their light did shine over the worlds, filling the skies. And the fallen did end their warring and looked to the light, and wondered what it would bring.
