====The Revolution====

=====The Announcement=====

The Primarch regained his natural smile. The war he would embark on with the Lighthouse was about to start.

He garnered supporters in underground places, preparing for an announcement that would change the history of Taros forever. Favors were exchanged and promised, and once again the Primarch had put his extraordinary charisma to use. The preparation were en-lieu to be ready.

And then one day, Taros woke up to the vibrant and passionate revelation of Rook. His face was on every screen possible on the planet. His supporters assaulted the biggest media company and put his speech on every devices the company was linked to.

In that day, Rook revealed the treachery the court of Taros asked of him years ago. He revealed the intention of the people who were ruling the Lighthouse, to keep them in the dark and keep all technological advancements to them and the powerful families that supported them. He told the people everything they had never known about the center of their world and the people living in it. He told them the truth.

Now that they knew, Rook asked only one thing of them, Forgiveness. While they were seeing this, him and his forces would be assaulting the Lighthouse, proud of their new weapons, but breaking the overall peace that had prevailed for centuries on Taros. He asked them for forgiveness for the blood he was about to spill and the plague of war he would be the first in ages to unleash on his world.

The announcement ended.

=====The Assault on the Lighthouse=====

The words of Rook did more than convince the populace of Taros, it ignited a fire in their hearths. The Lighthouse which had denied them entries for decades, which always looked down on them, that institution was corruption incarnate. The people of Taros would not suffer it to go unpunished.

The forces of Rook assaulted the Lighthouse in the early morning. The Lighthouse was well guarded, with security forces that were well trained and knew their job. But they struggled against the advanced plasma weaponry that made a mockery of any cover they could seek.

However they had one advantage, numbers. Despite their losses, more soldiers came to counter the assault. Eventually the number of las-shots wore down Rook and his forces. The Primarch was on the way to be defeated and could be forced into a tactical retreat.

=====The Hour of Reckoning=====

But then came the saving grace, the people of Askelis came en-masse to support the assault Rook was unleashing on the Lighthouse. They were wielding primitive weapons, such as slingshots or at the very best slug weapons, but now the number advantage was on Rook’s side. The plasma wielders were now free to pour a rain of fire on the defending forces, and soon enough those were subdued. The battle for the Lighthouse had been won. From the heights of their seats, far above the clouds, the Court knew their time had come to an end.

=====The Two Brothers=====

Rook took control of the Lighthouse, and, after deposing its leaders, prevented them from doing the unforgivable, destroying the DAoC relic. Soon enough the Primarch came to his treacherous brother, but with no vengeance in his eyes. The killing had to be stopped and Rook was not going to add one more corpse to his tally.

But his brother would not have it, as Rook spoke words of forgiveness, his brother’s pride could not let him have it, he would not stand there and suffer his brother’s “compassion”.  In a foolish effort of resistance, the brother hurled himself toward the Primarch, blade in hand. The Primarch disarmed him as easily has one could remove a knife from a child’s hands. But his brother had another blade, this one though would not be used to kill his brother.

In a last ditch of spite, Naok took his own life, hurling insults at his brother as life faded away from him. The Primarch once again was confronted with the harsh realization he always had trouble to accept, some people were shadows, they could not be saved and could only be shone upon to oblivion.
