NEWFLASH - Primal times reporter – Ernesto Bloom writes.

In recent days it has come to light...... through an Imperial insider that two children from two different prominent families have gone missing. Both children were friends and knew each other from Rune class. At first it was thought, they may have run away or gone on a play adventure together. However, investigations have now shown that both children were taken from their respected bedrooms during the night on Forsday 13th. It is not known which families are involved and as such there is no comment from the parents at this time. In a strange twist of events another child has gone missing from a wealthy merchant family. It would seem that he also went missing from his bedroom on Forsday 13th. However, the local watch captain has commented that this case has not been given high priority as all his resources have been diverted to another high-profile case.
The Merchant house has appointed a private investigator to look into the case.

[i][i]Fables and stories have long been apart of Primus, if enough of us believe it, …. You never know, it might just happen …belief defines reality after all. Thats what our world is based on and thats what we teach our children.

Over many years the children of labyrinth would be told the fable story of the Night Watcher. A creature filled with Dark Magic and Necromantic power, this cruel figure was used to torment the dreams of the younger generation and the future of our realm. Used as threat or bribe to make naughty children go bed on time, to make children learn their runes and glyphs …… parents would say “make sure you have done your home work, otherwise the night watcher will come and get you”. The creature would fill the children's hearts with dread and plague their dreams with shadows and undead.

As the children grew into teen hood they became braver, the empty threats of their parents were soon dismissed and rebuttal back … the teens would shout back “you can’t scare me, he doesn’t even exist …… I’m going to the tavern with my friend and you can’t stop me “…. “can I borrow 10 grulls?”
Soon these young people of primus would become buddying mercenaries, stepping out on their first quest, father’s sword swinging from their belt. Their parents at the front door waving them off. Hand on their heart and hoping they would return with all of their Vitea !

The children’s tale had some truth to it. The repeated use of the creature’s name, fed the idea … it started as a story……. then a shadow………then a dark mass……… it fed the entity until it formed a corporeal shape.

Then the Night Watcher was born.
