Zamorak Robes

It's hard to look at what the Zamorakian Mages have become. They were once a noble order, committed to chaos, demonology and destruction. You would fear to be in their presence, particularly that of their leader, Alric. Now, you fear them for wholly different reasons. The Reach has twisted them into something bestial.

At first, the changes to Dowdun Reach were positive. By throttling the power from the Dreaming Stone, there were fewer incidents at the demon portal. Demons rarely appeared without being summoned, and those summonings were restricted to the portal room. If the Reach was once a lightning rod for demons, it was now grounded with only the occasional spark.

Alric was never going to accept this new status quo. His faithful began re-routing the power of the Dreaming Stone. Energy tethers from the Dreaming Stone passed through and round residences. The Library, which warded against magical overflows, had its power siphoned.

Where the Dreaming Stone's energy-flows were once arterial, they were now like capillaries. The energy spread everywhere, a webbing throughout the Reach. And that had consequences.

Some of those consequences were explosive, sudden. The capillaries would overload, leading to fires and outbreaks. The magi would blame the Shadow Knights for these discharges, since Lord Rasmodel was now steward of the Dreaming Stone.

Other consequences were less sudden. They barely manifested at all, but their effects were insidious.
