Corrupted Invaders
Structure
During their active years they had Myzilith in their employ for a time, and had St. Edward enacting their will for nearly his entire life.
Public Agenda
To strike down the Loredasan Creators and take their power back to use for the abandoned people of Shard.
History
Agatha was a blood mage of Avalon, the former headmistress of the school. She saw the plight of countless people being torn apart by the Corruption and its monsters, and she used the might of the school to fight it. Seeing a select chosen few given salvation, leaving the rest of the world to die, gave her the resolve to find another solution.
She traveled throughout Shard before it was ripped apart by more rifts of corruption. She met Roderic Gaspard who lived in the shadow of salvation above him. A skilled paladin was a perfect addition for her plan. She traveled far to the east where she met Lykulla and Lokthux, a pair of twins adept in martial warfare and illusion respectively to fill the gaps in her plan.
They studied the corruption and ways to harness and partially direct its power. They used that to strike at the land created above them Loredas, infecting it with corruption. When that failed to yield the results that they were looking for, they went to Loredas themselves.
They split up across the land to sow discord and force the Gods hands. Agatha traveled around gathering power and strategizing, Roderic Gaspard set to work on finding the corrupted power they sent to Loredas to try and gain power and discover how the gods saved themselves from it. Lykulla and Lokthux set about to controlling the strongest kingdom in the land, Caeladonia. Lykulla replaced the Archbishop of the Church of Pseales while Lokthux became the weak-willed King's advisor. They pushed Caeladonia into conflict in an attempt to destabilize the region to make their plans easier to execute.
The first to fall was Roderic Gaspard. His former friends, the Ascended Heroes struck him down in a clash of ideals. Second, Agatha who gave up her mission when her compassion got the better of her. She resolved to find a solution that could save both Loredas and Shard, though she was killed by Lykulla soon after she defected. Lykulla was beaten and exposed during the raid on the Temple of Glass by Thaler's Enforcers and the Ascended Heroes. They were finally struck down in 165, ending their plans entirely.
Disbandment
The Ascended Heroes returned 22 years after their disappearance to find and kill Lykulla and Lokthux with the help of the hero Samuel Eshpard; ending their plans once and for all.
