On Sil'Tau and Ares

The twin cities of Silgate and Aresgate are not the only settlements in the world named in such a manner. The mythological heroes Sil'Tau and Ares are celebrated all across the northern half of the eastern continent, and several provinces in Oswia alone contain places named after them.

Sil'Tau and Ares' deeds are chronicled in the 23-part epic "Incursion", in which a shooting star collides with the surface of Glade. At first it is believed to be a new artifact shard, but upon discovery of the impact site, it is revealed that the meteorite is actually some sort of portal through which demons have begun flooding through, corrupting the surrounding landscape. Sil'Tau the high elf elite and Ares the human warrior then lead their two armies against the demonic horde, destroying the portal and stemming the tide of evil. They spend the remaining 11 parts traveling the world and hunting the remaining demons. At the conclusion of the epic, they die tragically at the hands of an ambitious traitor and are buried together at the site of that most glorious battle.
