Not all creatures of the Hive strained for the will of Oryx. Alak-Hul, the Darkblade, was one such. Not long ago he outlived his once-King and was in position to take his mantle. Alak-Hul perished, but has now been granted the “mercy” of the Light. The newly Risen “Lightblade” now acts in the service of the newly Lucent Witch-Queen. He must be destroyed.
