story= _ "With Malifor’s death, the magical controls over Tallin’s will vanished. Being suddenly confronted with the reality of his actions was too much for him, and so he fled. As he did so, visions of his dying friends — friends that he had slain — flashed before his eyes, while their voices chided him from the darkness. Frantically he tried to escape their condemnation, but it seemed that at every successive turn their numbers grew greater and greater, and their words cut more and more deeply into his ravaged soul. Screaming in desperation, he called upon his arts to banish them forever into the lands of the dead, but they seemed to laugh at his attempts and rebuke him even more forcibly for his betrayal."

[part]
story= _ "His thoughts soon turned to death as the only way to escape his punishment, and he immediately drew his dagger and plunged it into his heart. But as he stabbed himself again and again, he found that his feeble body failed to collapse, and his life force continued to dwell within his bones. Desperate, Tallin cast about for other ways of self-destruction. He soon detected the presence of a large body of water nearby, and some great monster living within its depths, and he stumbled blindly towards the oblivion offered by both."
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "But as he approached the dark and menacing depths, he was accosted by the ghost of yet another creature."

[part]
story= _ "Abhai: Halt right there, oh vile minion of Malifor! Your attempts to enslave me yet again will fail. All you shall find here will be your own destruction!"

[/part]
[part]
story= _ "By the gods of darkness, what harm have I done to you? You have not been slain by me, nor by my minions. And Malifor is dead, and by the Gods I will never serve any of his likes ever again! Now get out of my way!"

story= _ "Your troubles are none of my concerns. Begone!"

[part]
story= _ "Abhai: Now wait! Who are you, and what are you doing coming in this direction? I sense you are well versed in the dark arts; can you rid me of this body?"
#background=Abhai.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "I am Tallin. I was once a free man leading my people in a revolution against their orcish overlords, but I was tricked and enslaved by Malifor. While under his control, I have done unthinkable deeds — I have studied the most forbidden of arts, I have robbed the dead of their rest, and I have mercilessly butchered my friends like some sort of mindless abomination. Now I am haunted by all the evil I have done, and I see no way of escaping this torment other than self destruction."
background=portraits/Tallin-Evil.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Abhai: I don’t think death will help you, my boy. As I am sure you have already learned, death itself will have nothing to do with you. Even if your body is destroyed, your life force will still roam this world in torment. Such is the fate for the likes of us."
#background=Abhai.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Then what shall we do? The dying shrieks of my friends haunt me endlessly. It was because of me that they rose up against the orcs in the first place! They trusted me to always be there with them, guiding and leading them, and putting myself in the forefront of every battle. If I were not there they never would have risked their lives — nay, if I were not there they wouldn’t be dead right now! And I betrayed them! Those who trusted me most I slew with my own hands!"
background=portraits/Tallin-Evil.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Abhai: Be at peace, Tallin. I know of the trials that you have gone through, for I have faced them myself, and having faced those same trials I can say that you are not at fault. It was Malifor who had bound you to his will, and thus the blame of all your crimes falls on him. Now that he is dead, you are free, both of his will, and of the crimes he has committed through you."
#background=Abhai.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Nevertheless, it was my hands which wielded the staff that shattered the skulls of my friends. It was my lips which spoke the incantations to blast them with spells, or beset them with nightmares from another world. It was I who was not strong enough to resist his will. Your words, although kind, are not enough to relieve me of my guilt."
background=portraits/Tallin-Evil.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Abhai: Whether or not you are at fault is often impossible for men like us to judge. Sometimes you think you are at fault while you actually are not, and at other times, you sometimes think you have committed no crime while you actually have. But there is one way in which this matter can be settled beyond the shadow of a doubt."

story= _ "The Rod of Justice? I have never heard of it."
background=portraits/Tallin-Evil.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Abhai: You haven’t? It was an ancient artifact even when I was young. They say it was crafted by the Great Gods themselves, and given to the first true Ruler of Men to ensure peace, harmony and above all — justice. For hundreds of years now, it passed from king to successor. Ever since it has been wielded by men, the ruling class never became corrupt, the people never lacked justice and neither evil nor wars ever troubled the land."
#background=Abhai.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Well, that certainly isn’t the state of affairs now. Knalga lies in ruins, orcs ravish the surface, and dark and evil creatures haunt the underground passages. In the meantime, Wesnoth is said to be ruled by the wicked and cruel queen Asheviere, while the rightful heir must have long since perished in his vain quest for the Sceptre of Fire."
background=portraits/Tallin-Evil.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "I had assumed things would be in such a state, as I can faintly sense the presence of the Rod of Justice nearby. I thought that if I could somehow reach the Rod, I would be able to destroy Malifor and be free of this state. Alas, it seems to be in vain now..."
#background=Abhai.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "But you said that this Rod may be able to help me?"
background=portraits/Tallin-Evil.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Abhai: Yes, my boy. When I was king, I wielded the Rod of Justice. It contains such power that no creature that I have ever encountered can dare stand before it. However, if a person who grasps the staff is a criminal, or has a heart full of dark and evil, then the staff will smite them down as surely as you are standing there."
#background=Abhai.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "So you suggest that I grasp this Rod of Justice, as if it were to judge me?"
background=portraits/Tallin-Evil.png
[/part]
[part]
story= _ "Abhai: That is exactly what I suggest, my boy. When you grasp it, if you are destroyed, then that is an end to your torment. If you are not, then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Great Gods do not hold you responsible for the acts Malifor has committed through you. Either way, it will be an end to your suffering."

Not only will the dragon roast you alive, but he has a whole nest of drakes at his beck and call to join in the fun."
