ARC #1 - THE THALION THEOCRACY

Arc Length: 171 Days.

Approximate Length: Wednesday, December 28, 2022, to Friday, June 16, 2023.

Medal of Honor: MDL OF HNR 1 - Slayer of Tyranny 

Enemy Variants: Repentants, Templars, Flamers, Crusaders, Wardens, Gargoyles, Purgers, Praetorians, Eradicators, Siegers, Obliterators, Chaplains, and Bishops.

SUMMARY: Galron went head-to-head against the kingdom known as the Thalion Theocracy, a kingdom of oppressed and, quite frankly, brainwashed people ruled by the manipulative Pontiff Marthelius. This kingdom sought for the destruction of all inhumans simply because they viewed them as possessing little to no worth; nothing more than a plague on the world of Cynderin, certainly not as worthy of the world as humans were. They viewed themselves as very holy people, righteous in Thalion's eyes, even though they ironically used dark magics and other unethical processes to augment their warriors in ways you couldn't dream of. One of the way they did this was by making artificial angels; this did not turn out pretty. Galron and the Theocracy went to war for a long period of time, resulting in the death of the Overlord of Galron, Lord Sersh, as well as many other denizens of the kingdom. In the end, it was discovered that Pontiff Marthelius was actually an undead, an extremely powerful sorceror that was able to use many high-tier manipulation magics to fool the population of the Theocracy into pledging fealty to him. This feeble creature had lived so long due to the fact that he possessed an Eternia Crystal, a very rare, naturally forming crystal that is said to be a "leakage" of Purgatory into the normal realm. This special crystal allows you to store your soul inside it, and it breaks when the soul is transferred out of it (for those who know of Liches, think of the crystal as a Phylactery). In an extremely well-hidden cathedral, the final fight with the Pontiff ensued, resulting in his death. The Theocracy was now truly freed, and the citizens of the kingdom soon either began to re-integrate with the human kingdom, Nekhacia, or embarked on their own journeys. This victory is what opened the knowledge of the hidden kingdom of Galron to the world's view for the first time, leading Galron to finally be recognized as a true nation on Cynderin.

ARC #2 - LORD JERICHO AND THE ARMY OF DARKNESS

Medal of Honor: MDL OF HNR 2 - Master of the Soul 

Enemy Variants: Mechithralls, Brute Thralls, Bile Thralls, Bane Thralls, Skarlock Thralls, Stitch Thralls, Grim Knights, Iron Lich Overseers, Soul Harvesters, True Death Knights, and Death's Touch Assassins.

SUMMARY: Galron faced against an army of undead, all pledging allegiance to the Undead Lord, Jericho. Jericho himself was once the king of High Lothric, the Dark Elven Kingdom that was once known as a powerful kingdom under his rule; after a brutal revolution and war against the Elves, the Kingdom has since fallen. Jericho had sworn vengeance upon the world, especially the elves, but also sought to do the impossible: bring his wife back from True Death. Over time, he grew his army and was capable of fighting multiple different war fronts at the same time, directing a major focus towards Galron, who posed the biggest threat due to their versatility. It is during this time that Galron also encountered (at Razor Rock) Rilinvel, a civilization on the other side of Cynderin that was also being assaulted by Jericho's forces as well. The two kingdoms joined forces, and sought to put an end to Jericho's reign of tyranny when he began his assault on a Rilinvel township. But this changed when Zenos Yae Galvus, a mysterious aid to Jericho who appeared previously at Razor Rock, summoned a Celestial on the battlefield; it was slain, but Jericho absorbed it's power, and was stronger than ever before. What followed in the months afterwards was terror; Pantheon was corrupted, and turned into a mindless beast; Lord Sersh's old armor became the Armored Calamity, a writhing abomination of souls trapped within the armor of the dead king, and more. Eventually though, one fateful day Jericho was able to be convinced to halt his assault on the world, thanks to Lord Horus Carvenhall. Galron and Rilinvel temporarily allied with Jericho, in hopes to kidnap Lord Taranth, the Elvish Lord who was responsible for the death of Jericho's wife. Their search led them to Atum, the Dwarven Kingdom, where Taranth was found, captured, and tortured at Galron, until Markus and Galio arrived to free him. Not long after, Jericho disappeared for a moment. Later, he contacted Galron once more, and gave them a map allowing them to teleport to the Royal Garden of High Lothric, where Jericho wished to show them something grand. Upon arrival, Jericho mentioned to Galron that he had finally found a way to reverse True Death. However, it required souls....and they were the souls he'd use. A massive battle ensued against the Undead Lord, eventually resulting in his unfortunate demise; but not before his soul was captured in a gem held by the Warmaster, allowing him to be forever immortalized in the Simulacrum.

Medal of Honor: MDL OF HNR 3 - Savior of Hell

Enemy Variants: Rogue Demons, The Blight Infected, Pyreweavers, Skulkers, Executioners, Defilers, Juvenile Helldrakes, Adult Helldrakes, Elder Helldrakes, Hellhounds, Demonic White Walkers, True Fallen Angels, Skinstealers, and Orcs of Khasseon.

SUMMARY: Galron faced against Astaroth, the legendary archfiend known as the General of Hell during the Heaven and Hell War. While first appearing as another traveling demon, Astaroth appeared to Galron near the final battle against Jericho. However, shortly after his arrival at Galron, things across Cynderin started to go awry. Specifically, rogue demon activity started to spike, with no known cause for it. This occurred much more frequently over on the continent of Rilinvel, and eventually escalated so much that the continent was overrun with rogue demons, and a mysterious infection known as "Rogue Blight" that caused those mortals affected by it to morph and contort into fleshy abominations. Galron was able to save Blackmyre from the onslaught of the rogues, but after this, the continent of Rilinvel was fully razed and lost, even still to this day. Rogues then started appearing more frequently on Cynderin; and it seemed that things were getting worse. Galron sought out to help fend off the rogues from the various kingdoms, and it had been found out that Astaroth had even corrupted the Dukes of Hell themselves. During this time period, Galron also got the assistance of the legendary Lycan, the first ruler of Nekhacia and Astaroth's old nemesis. Galron traveled to Atum to clear out rogues and to the various other kingdoms. At Drimmudel, the Duke of Greed was defeated; at Cicadia, the Duke of Sloth was defeated; at Nekhacia, the Duke of Wrath was defeated; at Galron's own castle, the Duke of Lust was defeated; and at a town near Galron, the Duke of Gluttony was defeated. All of these Dukes were cured of their corruption induced by Astaroth, and with all of the Dukes cured, Galron began its march towards the Capital Ring of Hell to face off against Astaroth, while Lycan fought in the other rings to clear out Rogues in other places in Hell. The battle was hard-fought at Xeno's Castle, as it turned out that Astaroth had also corrupted the Archfiends of the Capital Ring, which Galron fought and cured. At the top of the tower, they fought Astaroth, and with the aid of the Dukes, Zenos, and even the Vessel of Kassadin, Astaroth was finally vanquished, the rogue threat all but destroyed and both Cynderin and Hell saved from their wrath. Astaroth was captured in a gem given to the party by Arthritis, and to this day, he is forever immortalized in the Simulacrum.
