"Is he now?" said he Sibern and lowered his brow.

"Several centuries ago, my friends, our town was plagued by a deviant known to you as the Pale Man. A man of unspeakable cruelty, malice, evil and a will to dominate our lives. And you have all seen the signs, my friends... You have all been forced to bear witness to his continuous path to achieve his goal in these recent days! Even centuries after his supposed death he haunts our alleyways and torments our people!"

The gathering agreed in unison.

"So far no one has been able to stop him. Not even the Gods-given Investigators are capable of stopping him! His will is undeniable, which goes to show that there is no point in standing in his way, my friends. Tell me what is the worse fate; to serve as the Devil's right hand or to stand in his way? And you have all seen the result of what happens to those who stand in his way, haven't you?"

Once again the gathering agreed.

"And is such a horrid fate you wish to share? If not, then join me, brothers and sisters! Submit to the Pale Man! Cower under your beds and pray that he doesn't come for you as well! When the ghost from the past readies himself to strike again, he will find no potential threat from either of us, and therefore he will leave us alone! If we can show him that we are not willing to oppose him, he will let us live long and prosper. And only perhaps then will we eventually find a way to rid ourselves of his evil!"

Amiran pointed towards the eastern tunnel section. "And that Servant! The filthy criminal who drove us away from our former meeting grounds, thinks that he can establish himself a new empire here, like the Pale Man once did. He will be regarded as a threat and will be removed by the hands of the Great Shadow!"

The Redguard raised his hand high up in the air, whereupon the others in the gathering joined him. "Hail thee, dark shadow! Deal no harm to the innocent and you shall roam unchallenged!"

Sibern raised an eyebrow. "Fools", he whispered. "It seems that they believe that if they are worshipping the Pale Man, he will let them live." He shook his head. "Fear can indeed do strange things to people."
