Deep within the Darigan Citadel , Lord Kass has been using dark means of blackmail, bribery, and intimidation in order to gain power after Lord Darigan's downfall. After careful planning and many other questionable activities, Kass had finally gained power and made an announcement to all Darigan citizens that King Skarl, leader of Meridell was planning to attack them and that the Darigan army needed to attack first. This was of course not true as King Skarl had no intention of attacking the Darigan Citadel. After getting the approval of the Darigan citizens, Kass sent a Court Dancer to mesmerize King Skarl and stop him from taking any action and an army into Meridell to start the attack.
