As the Army of Luclin grew, so did the Kingdom. Security was tightened in all lands and passages. Soon all visitors to the moon required a passport and had to pay fees. Many were inprisoned without trial due to violating the new laws, and were forced into slave labor in the Mines. The price of Luclin ores were taxed considerably, causing many merchants to go out of business while others became a monopoly. The Kingdom began stationing bases in several planes and continents of Norrath, influencing politics and trade throughout the nations.

The King began to court many ladies during these many moons of territorial expansion. He would lure them with his riches and magics, but they would soon notice his strange demeanor. His control over shadow, his living armour, his sometimes dual, harmonious speaking. Each maiden was marked with a strange rune upon their skin, and soon after the dark Vah would demonstrate the ability to mimic their skills. They could almost feel their spirits being drained.

Lord Tsolaes began to court the lady Shamans of his Kingdom. He sought to use their prophetic abilities to expand his view of the future. Lady Churunga grew very close to Tsolaes, never noticing the dark spirit that possessed him. He seems more at peace in her presense, more like he was many years ago, before he had taken the crown. Her innocence almost made him regret his decision...

A dark furred Shamaness then came into his life. Lady Zalu asked him to read her future, as her visions were not clear. He agreed and performed a ritual which allowed them to experiance four years ahead in time. They appeared in an Akhevan worship room, with many hundreds of Akhevans bowing down to a cloaked figure. They were planning a strike on Freeport, due to a vision that showed them the Humans would attack them. The cloaked figure revealed themselves, and it was a twisted, horned version of Zalu. The vision collapsed, and they found themselves back in Freeport. Soon they realized it was still in the future, and they witnessed the city's destruction before returning to the present time. Zalu was blinded during the magical explosion.

The King began to formulate a remedy, and eventually cured her with a combination of herbs and Akhevan blood. Zalu could sense the demon that possessed Tsolaes, but she did not fear his powers. She knew that the real Tsolaes was part of the dual being. She welcomed the prophecised Age of Twilight.

The Froglok officers rounded up their friends, and confronted Tsolaes in Throne Room... ((Click here for the story))

War was declared against the Froglok nation, and all frogloks were imprisoned or forced to work in the Mines. Admiral Kyoo soon escaped the dungeon of Shar Vahl, and began secretly forming a way to defeat the dark Vah once and for all...
