{"Once, the Succubus Queen Karen did not command legions of deadly monsters. Once, she was merely a human girl named Karen. Her family loved her. Her life was peaceful. She was one of the thousands of fairy tale beginnings that dot our world.
Once.
No one knows what tragedy claimed Karen's family, claimed her happy life. We only know that she left the ruins of her life behind, consumed with sorrow and impotent fury. Some legends say that Apoline found her, and granted Karen perfect dominion over all creatures of evil. Others say that the young Karen perfected her magical arts alone, and claimed her own place in the forces of darkness by sheer power. She became the Succubus Queen.
In the end, it doesn't matter what drove poor Karen to darkness. All that matters is that she has occupied the sacred Thorn Cave. She has sent her monsters out to capture innocent elves and men. We have all lost friends, neighbors, family to this monster. This will not stand!
I say we go to Thorn Cave, and drive this creature of evil to her well-deserved grave -- or die trying!"
-Antion, Human Guardian. Final words before venturing into Thorn Cave. Body found half-consumed some months later.”}
