BOONE What are they? Death. Destruction. Greed. Corruption. Humanityʼs worst impulses harnessed into hilts and blades... What you need to know, is what they where before...

BOONE Left behind by those before. Those from beyond. No one knew... But soon their barren fields were overflowing with food.

BOONE But as with all things good, it was desired by those evil: and before long, a Warlord stole the relic for his own selfish gain.

BOONE He melted it down. Turned it into eight brutal tools...

BOONE And with those weapons, they conquered the world.

BOONE Until eventually, they turned on each other. The weapons were separated, cycling between dictators, tyrants, and sadists...

BOONE They gave themselves a name, now synonymous with power and death. A name only whispered for fear of the danger it brings. A cancer secretly coursing through the veins of all society. They are... The Aldermen.
