After months of research, the CLANS of
the BROTHERHOOD begin to see the
results of their study.

Soul-fueled crystals, from ages long gone,
hold incredible power to CREATE and to
DESTROY. With each still CORRUPTED by
connection to their creator, their usage is
dangerous.

Little do they know the ANCIENT RITES
have melded with MODERN SCIENCE
bringing lethal efficiency to the creation
process.

ASCENSION comes as the secretive
CHILDREN OF MORTIS begin their
offensive. Striking from deep space, these
fanatics will do anything to accomplish
their goals…

Summary

• In the Muisyle System, Avitus Oligard reflects on his time with The Children, as well as how his personal experience with The Brotherhood has shaped their war plans.
• In the Throne Room on Arx, the Grand Master continues to insist the clans be ready to defend Arx when The Children attack.
• The alarms sound, and it is not Arx being attacked, but the home systems of the clans.
• Our allies The Principate are unable to assist due to their continued demilitarization efforts following the events on Dandoran.
• The Grand Master orders the Council’s Fleet to remain, hoping to consolidate the research conducted by the clans into a method to stop The Children.
• The Children’s attack takes place simultaneously through the clans’ home systems.
  • A crystalline asteroids approach the systems from deep space, followed by ships of The Children.
  • Attempts to destroy the asteroid only speed it up.
  • The Children’s advanced ships cut through the clans’ defenses as the asteroids slow down their approach impacting on the surface below.
  • The clans’ ground side defenses begin to combat Children forces, as the crystals from the asteroids take hold and grow.
  • Many of the clans face horrible gas attacks, which once inhaled, lead to ascension upon death. Those that stored crystals away are spared this, as The Children focus on recovering what has been hoarded away.
  • The full assault of The Children, and their three sub-factions begins.
• The Council goes into crisis mode, hoping the clans can hold on long enough for the research to be completed.
• Back in the Muisyle System, The Father takes control of the Harbinger for a moment to praise Avitus on his valuable information. In the distance, Avitus hears the screams of Saira O’Setera, as the pains of labor take hold over her.
