A transcript of
The Scrolls of Lore.
This scroll was found in the tomb a Paladin named Dars
Luith. Agents of Hate have recovered the original since.
Intoned the Great Enemy - Surely thou hast learned that thou
canst slay me not. And Dars Luith did heft his mace and cried -
Thou shalt fall before the primal might of these four. Forged from
the stuff of the pit. As one the three did ready their weapons.
Suloth Var - the spear, Kam Tala - the axe and Ranga Fal the
Sorcerous - blade. And so the Four did set upon the Great Enemy
assailing him with their skilled blows. And the Great Enemy did
know that Dars Luith was not wrong. His end was at hand. With a
tremendous roar the Great Enemy did take to the sky and did laugh
upon the Four. Raising his mighty weapon to the sky Kam Tala did

unknown in Orin Rakatha. Many was the number that came to their
call, but many also was the number that was lost in their struggle
for dominance. So it was that Dars Luith did alter the form of
their host from a force to a sect. A sect from which many tendrils
did stretch to many towers. Over the years the cult did indeed
flourish. But as was the way of the past a great hatred grew
between the Four. A hatred which grew over the years. It came
about that the Four could not stand to be in each others presence
and so moved on their own roads. Suloth Var journeyed to the Kalid
tower. Kam Tala to the Shadowsfall and Ranga Fal the Sorcerous to
the Wizards Concillium. Dars Luith remained with the cult which
