The catastrophe visited upon Lindesfarne is one that is met with shock, but soon with absolutely blinding rage. Especially from Nicephorus, who, in almost blinding admiration and infatuation with Adriana, is overcome with seething hatred. Immediately he hatches a plot to bring together elements to raise armies of vengeance with which to reap upon the enemies of his master while she plots secret things that she will not share with him… Barred from her counsel, he dives into his plot to aid her.
When he hears of the Ember Wind Dragon spotted in nearby lands, he immediately sends agents to try and capture it, to sacrifice it to harness its primal divine energies. This attempt is fraught with trial and ultimate failure, however it does succeed in raising a core group of hunters that both learn from the hunt and from the strange fire magics the dragon possess, which forms them into the Flame of Purifying Light

Deception is the next key, as Nicephorus knows his history, and how the being known as Flurps once inadvertently raised a menace by teaching poor fishermen how to sail, ultimately causing them to take up piracy. He sends followers to the southern coast, waiting for the strange Utoypian to migrate past, while spreading rumors of poor fishermen who can’t make a living. Somewhat to his surprise, Nicephorus’ plan pays off almost immediately, and history quickly repeats itself as she undertakes much of the hard work of teaching the Followers there magics and techniques that are useful for raising a fleet, including techniques for holding and utilizing helium. Ultimately this creates the Followers Unto The Sun, a fleet of floating airships.

The armies assemble, though commanders are few and far between with so much of their forces decimated. To fill in this stopgap, Nicephorus sends his agents far and wide, looking for anyone they could possibly use…
He finds help in the oddest, unlikeliest places. The strange cursed Utoypian Hrakihk is found to be of some use, promised limited lordship and spoils if he succeeds in leading the Avengers of Justice in an assault east, upon the unsuspecting city of Blackwatch. The Chiaro, while vigilant against beasts lurking in the vast tunnel networks to the east, are confidant that the Follower threat to them has ended, and their defenses are minimal.

For the Flame of Purifying Light, there is difficulty finding a candidate… until a strange creature is found, one who comes hearing about promises of loot and plunder, along with an erroneous belief there will be lots of booze to be had. The Zerky creature is one that even the deformed Nicephorus finds distasteful, not to mention exceedingly slovenly, but he manages to hold his nose and gives the army to him, promising him all the booze he can find. He sends him to attack the underground city of Tuatha.

For the Followers Unto The Sun, Nicephorus personally takes the field and sends them on a strike southward toward the floating city of Highland, swarming with his airfleet as he seeks to sate his appetite for revenge
Corrupt City-2 points
Nicephorus burns with such rage and hate that the landscape around him literally burns and withers, corrupting the goodness of the lands near and around Highland. Even if he can’t take the city, he’s going to strangle this wretched purity the Chiaro have so tenderly cultivated over the ages.
