Ancient evil is loosed in north when dark being finds a suitable carrier in form of one-time thief and bandit. Soon entire city is under influence and large human wave begins its invasion of southern kingdoms killing and pillaging everyone and everything on their way.
At this point Kane enters the stage – ancient human sentenced to wander the world and serve the others as punishment for the crime he committed. Misinterpreting the events [and following his dream to establish himself as a ruler instead of being just one of many hired swords] he joins the invasion force by offering his military expertise to train dark legions into formidable army. To do this (and advance his own coup d’etat) Kane brings his own men to form the core of the new army and starts the conquest expecting that his time will come soon to take over the new territories for himself.
But soon he realizes grave error he made and finally turns against the very evil he served.

Great story. Cannot wait to get my hands on more Kane stories. ( )

Kane gets twisted up into an insane dark god cult intent on conquering the world. ( )

Cult general.

When a man proves himself to be more than human and a devotee of your dark god type he quickly develops a following with fervour.

After some initial military success he has his rabble smashed by a trained opposition.

Kane sees an opportunity and volunteers his military mind to whip the bunch of crazies into shape.

Kane has to see if he can stick around long enough given said bloke's delusions of competency for himself and followers.

Good Kane stuff but a little disjointed. ( )
