Forum:Sumeragi: Difference between revisions

With the inevitable arrival of the Witness and Calus in tow, war would come to the active Traveler and, as a result, due to the Veil, Neptune. With the chaos of the war and the devastating defeat at the system's edge, Xa'lus had no choice but to trust his existing infiltrators from feeding him data and technologies. The Legion would begin to chart the doings of Calus' forces and would even begin coopting their technologies, along with the Neomuni. Following the Witness's empowerment by the Veil and sudden disappearance into the Veil, much of the Black Legion's forces would break into confusion and curiosity, seeking answers as to what happened and attempt to pursue, with all attempts ending in failure. Despite that, breakthroughs with Pyramid tech would give birth to the Shadow Hand subgroup within the Black Legion. Following the operation aboard the Essence, the Psion Flayer, Ilitcyl, would eventually slave mindless Tormentors the Black Legion captured to his will, creating his Malignancies and using them to solidify his position within the hierarchy of the Legion. Even with orders from Nova to refuse an alliance with the Witness, an initially ideal alliance, Xa'lus would finally be satisfied with a short-lived and admittedly petty vengeance against a charismatic Calus, who has stolen some of his esteemed forces. Unbeknownst to much of the Black Legion, however, one Val Paragun would become disillusioned with the Primus' costly crusade against the Last City and eager to return home, deserting to the Imperial Cabal with information on their arsenal and the rising threat of the resurgent Sumeragi.
