High Priest Orven:
The story begins long ago, during the Elmoreden era. Emperor Shunaiman drove out all of Shilen's followers after years of hard fighting. Some of them found their way to Gracia. There they seemed to disappear from history for a while.
Now we now they were actually infiltrating Gracian society and politics. Then they struck openly, taking advantage of the civil war between Karneia and Kserth after their father King Paris' failed invasion of Aden.
Soon, Shilen's followers dominated Gracia. Clearly they had long prepared for this moment.
Keep listening.
