Operation Spellbinder was created to obtain 8 powerful tomes of magic in order for the warlocks of the Republic to study their contents and use the knowledge gained to benefit our great nation. This was no easy task however as the spellbooks were scattered across the darkest and a most dangerous places of the realm.
These 8 spellbinders contain knowledge, spells and rituals of different schools of magic that exist in the world. Knowledge is power and the Republic needed to secure this knowledge!
On the first night of the operation the Redguard assisted by the aid of willing Vesper citizens secured the first three of the spellbinders.
They fought their way into the Ice Demon stronghold in the dungeon of Ice to retrieve the spellbinder of Ice.
Once secured the force traveled to the depths of Fire to obtain the spellbinder of Fire. Interestingly enough the biggest threat on this mission was none other than a monstrous steel door.
Finally the Republican troops ventured through the Sorcerer Dungeon in Ilshenar to the libraries of Terort Skitas where they found the spellbinder of Air.
The second night of the operation saw more success as the Republican forces marched fourth to retrieve another 3 spellbinders.
The first target was the Ancient Citadel in Ilshenar where the Redguard cut their way through the undead hordes to secure the spellbinder of Summoning.
Next on the agenda was the long walk to the Kirin Passage to battle the forces of nature and obtain the Spellbinder of Nature.
To end the night the Vesparian forces traveled to a more peaceful destination, the ethereal fortress to search the shelves for the spellbinder of Divine.
3 more spellbinders had been secured, only 2 remained.
The final two spellbinders recovery took place over 2 days, with the Republic heading to the Rock dungeon in Ilshenar in order to secure the Spellbinder of Earth on the first day.
The force of Redguard along with Vesper's mascot Billy Boots battled their way through undead once more to spend what seemed hours searching the endless maze of halls within the Rock dungeon.
After an eternity the Spellbinder of Earth was finally discovered, but the relief was short lived as our forces then head to find their way back out of the maze. Once home safely twas time to call it a night and gather their strength for the last spellbinder.
The time had come to obtain last spellbinder; the Spellbinder of Darkness. This operation was last on the list as it posed the most danger to our brave troops. The Republican force had to travel into the cursed lands of Felucca, through to the lost lands and into the depths of the horror that is Khaldun. Here the Redguard faced off against creatures of shadow and death; even the structure itself craved Vesparian blood trying to slay our forces with all manner of traps.
Eventually the last spellbinder was in the hands of the Republic, but the the forced retreat out of the dungeon proved to be utter chaos; Khaldun was not finished with the squad of Vesparians yet. These halls were literally hell on Britannia with our exhausted soldiers barely making it out alive.
Finally the operation was done with and completed to success. All 8 spellbinders were now in the hands of Vesper. Tis now up to our warlocks to carefully decipher and research their texts and pull anything useful out that can benefit the Republic.
