The [[King Leoric|Black King]] lay dead, slain at the hands of his own Priests and Knights. The young Prince [[Albrecht]] was still missing, and the proud defenders of Khanduras were no more. The people of [[Tristram]] looked about their lifeless town and were greatly dismayed. Awash in feelings of both relief and remorse, they soon realized that their troubles had merely begun. Strange, eerie lights appeared in the darkened windows of the Monastery. Misshapen, leathery-skinned creatures were seen venturing forth from the shadows of the church. Horrible, wounded cries seemed to linger on the wind, emanating from deep underground. It became apparent that something quite unnatural had infested the once holy sight?
Travelers on the roads surrounding [[Tristram]] were accosted by cloaked riders that seemed to now constantly roam the deserted countryside. Many villagers fled [[Tristram]], making their way to other towns or kingdoms, fearing some unnamed evil that seemed to wait in the shadows all around them. Those few who chose to remain seldom ventured out at night, and never tread foot upon the grounds of the cursed Monastery. Whispered rumors of poor, innocent people being abducted in the night by wicked, nightmarish creatures filled the halls of the local inn. With no King, no law, and no army left to defend them, many of the townsfolk began to fear an attack from the things that now dwelt beneath their town.
