Chapter IX: Crusader Auxiliary Corps
Attention all Cabilisians!
By order of the Crusaders of Greenmist and by the authority of Arch Duke Xog and Crusader Kuriak, any iksar who wishes to serve the Empire may be eligible for funding and sponsorship by the Crusaders of Greenmist. In the interest of conquest and terror, the ancient and honored order of knights will provide resources for the arming and armoring of novice iksar warriors, monks, shamans, shadow knights, and necromancers.
Those Cabilisians who wish to serve should contact Crusader Kuriak, or the Scaled Mystic liaison, Finistere. If approved, you will be notified to report to Cabilis to be outfitted and begin your service.

Arch Duke Xog gazed drearily into the murky canals and crumbling masonry sprawling beneath him. For decades he had worked tirelessly to see this once great state rebuilt. He had sent countless knights to distant and unknown shores where they had surely found lonely deaths at the hands of a world that hated Cabilis and everything it stood for. He longed to see all who were opposed to Cabilis destroyed or enslaved- he dreamt of his glorious knights leading dwarves and halflings around on leashes crafted from elven entrails.
It was time for a new approach. Xog knew he had to escalate his campaigns in order for the iksar to regain their former glory. Some of his knights had brought home wealth from their campaigns— slaves, trade goods, platinum, and magical artifacts plundered from the far reaches of Norrath. He had to find new recruits and outfit them for defense and conquest. He needed someone to coordinate these efforts; someone with experience abroad.
Xog’s pondering was interrupted by a figure emerging from the mist—an iksar, clad in the blackened-green raiment of the Crusaders of Greenmist with a Crusader’s Khukri sheathed at his side. As he approached the Temple of Terror, Xog was able to recognize him. It was Kuriak, a knight he had thought lost in an attack on Guk. It had been many months since anyone in the military had heard from him.

Kuriak walked toward Xog and kneeled before him.
Kuriak: Arch Duke Xog, I was able to infiltrate the outer layers of Guk and neutralize the one called Scryer. I have brought intelligence regarding the frogloks’ strategic situation. But my victory came at a cost- the Scryer’s magics affected my mind… left it crumbling into insanity as I hobbled out of Guk. For months I roamed, but I do not remember, and I was not myself. I report to you now with all of my faculties, fully restored and ready to serve.
Arch Duke Xog: Kuriak. I dream of a day when I never need to hear another word that isn’t spoken in lizardman. For all your efforts you are still as wretched and disposable as the day your lowborn body congealed out of scum and miasma- the mere idea of your existence brings me pain.
Kuriak: Thank you sir.
Xog turned away from Kuriak and glanced into the distance.
Arch Duke Xog: Even so, your body of work has brought me closer to realizing my dream. Your next assignment will be very much unlike anything you have done before. This time, you will not be killing children or eating their pets. Instead, you will be outfitting an entire corps to do those beautiful things. I have approved a limited amount of funding for your efforts. Speak with Lord Qyzar for the specifics.

Are you just starting on the server? Recently started and dirt poor? Did you make an elf and want to play a race that doesn’t disappoint your parents?
Since I’ve started on P99, so many people have shown such generosity. I am by no means rich compared to a lot of people on this server, but I’ve got enough at the moment to help some people out.
If you are near Cabilis and interested in some help, send me a tell if you see me online on Kuriak or Finistere. I have my 51 shaman parked in Cabilis with some money and items, and I’d be happy to make you a suit of banded armor, give you an item or weapon if I have one available, and a bit of plat. I just ask that you meet several conditions:
-At least level 3
-At most level 20
-Iksar
*Or*
-If non-iksar, prove your loyalty to Cabilis by learning Lizardman and coming to Cabilis.
-Don’t be twinked, I’d prefer to help people who need it.
-I’ll be doing this for as long as I have the funds to do so.
On that note, I am also looking to buy some cheap low level weapons. I have an EC mule:
-Wu’s Quivering Staffs
-Swords of Skyfire
-Jsticks
-etc
If you’re a new iksar, send a tell and get some free stuff!
