Cult of Three

The Cult of Three were a group of three individuals who, with the enlisted help of mercenaries, initiated the Second Coming of Mythrix. The Cult of Three were made up of Beiryll the Deserter, Paetris the Dishonored, and the witch Auriel. The Cult of Three was killed off one by one by the group known as Dench and Friends.

History
The Cult of Three was formed years after the copper dragon Beiryll had deserted his post at Tower Beiris, taking human form as General Ferenor. He would recruit Auriel the Witch and Paetris the Dishonored after a series of dreams led the two to find Beiryll at different times and begin a relationship. The three would then go on to communicate in secret for years, planning and scheming ways to summon Mythrix, their motivations varying. Paetris was hateful of the kingdoms of Midland for their role in the War for Midland, as well as his own people within the Night Elf kingdom of Liante for banishing him. Beiryll was suspected to be indoctrinated by Mythrix, believing he would be able to somehow control the death god if he were to summon him in a weakened state. Auriel was described on multiple accounts as being purely insane and evil.

The three formed a plan to revive Mythrix. Beiryll killed his previous apprentice, an unknown copper dragon, and sealed the corpse in a vault in an abandoned Dwarven mine. Auriel reportedly worked on the body for weeks, preparing necromantic spells while Paetris recruited bands of Orks, Goblins, and Kobols to form a militia. From there, it was only a matter of time as Paetris and his militia raided villages and supply lines in the south, targeting soul gems. Those killed were used to fill soul gems, and the filled gems would be taken to Auriel in the abandoned mine.

After an instance of two adventurers, Stavon and Bazer Shusk, stumbling upon the mine and being chased away by Auriel and her illusory magic, the witch managed to capture a cave ogre and used it to guard the mine, until months later when Dench and Friends were recruited by the two to return to the mine. In the process, the ogre was killed and the two who hired them to help went missing.

Auriel was furious her guardian was killed, and hatched a plan of her own to follow and monitor Dench and Friends, attempting to distract them with other problems.

As time went on, the soul gems were used by the witch in the ritual to resurrect Mythrix. The resurrection proved successful
