Stage 5 Minimum Level: 5000 Location:Haaneth Castle (Throne Room) (5, 11) Required Item: Shroud Token Required Kills: 1 x King Iiroe (Elite)

Iiroe is not much of a warrior and you over power him handily. A search shows, sure enough, a Shroud Token on his person. "What are you mumbling, my friend?" Kaydus asks. "This was recently given..." You hear Iiroe sputter. That was given to me and many others by the Chancellor." You crouch before the restrained King. Is this Chancellor still here?" The King looks to the offices nearby. You stand and look at the King's Sceptre. "I have an idea." you say, reaching for a scroll. You receive "Recipe of Dissonance Staff".

You explode into the office and hunt down the "Chancellor". You find him surrounded in shroud fire but you brandish your new Dissonance Staff and the fire seems to flinch before a horrifying voice commands "Deal with these gnats. They have been undoing your work!" "Lord?" you smirk. "Which of these lesser demons have you sold your soul too?" The Chancellor smiles. "Oh [USERNAME], he knows you. It's my honour to kill you for the Shadow Lord!"

There is a plaintive cry and the chancellor folds in upon himself with horrifying cracking sounds.

From the dissipating shadow, the voice returns. It's not easy to listen to but you can't turn away either... "[USERNAME]. Once again you have interfered in the affairs of my minions." The voice of the Shadow Lord appears to breath in. "I may need to take a more active hand in your case..." You stir. "The Light protects..." The voice roars with laughter."The Light? You know not what the Light is. You serve blindly. Maybe I'll tear those blinders off? Beware our next meeting Mortal."With that, the Shroud energies and the voice of it's Lord vanish.
