Forum:Shadow Empire: Difference between revisions

The '''Shadow Empire''' is a massive empire consisting of [[Forum:Avatar (Renovated)|Avatar]] champions and elite armadas of immensely powerful wielders of the [[Darkness]] in the service of [[Forum:The Black Swordsman (Renovated)|Kirito, the Shadow Emperor]] and [[Forum:The White Angel (Renovated)|Asuna, the Shadow Empress]]. According to untold series of reports and archives, it is composed of individuals from various civilizations and untold varieties of species and backgrounds who were personally recruited by Kirito and Asuna during their rise to power, completely devoted to their leaders' beliefs, and opposes the forces of [[The Traveler]].

==Overview==

In the days immediately before the [[Forum:Second Collapse (Renovated)|Second Collapse]], [[The Witness]] tasked Kirito and Asuna with rousing the Avatars from their slumber and protecting [[Forum:Mallory Bertha (Renovated)|Mallory Bertha]] from the united forces of [[The Coalition]] and [[Emperor Calus]], a former [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] who had been risen from death by [[Forum:Maleficent|Maleficent]], so that she could open the world to the [[Black Fleet]]'s assault in preparations for the fruition of the [[Final Shape]]. Despite [[Vanguard]] Commander [[Zavala]] and [[Awoken]] Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s allegiance with Calus and The Witness's "dead man's switch"-style death at the hands of the Gold Saints, The Coalition's efforts were in vain as Mallory made short work of Calus and his forces, [[The Reef]], [[Shin Malphur]], and [[Devrim Kay]], giving the Black Swordsman and White Angel and their forces the opportunity to sever the [[European Dead Zone]], [[Cosmodrome]], [[Europa]], and [[Nessus]]'s connections with the [[Light]], killing [[Clovis Bray I]], [[Shaw Han]], and [[Failsafe]] and annihilating said locations in the process.

During the early days of the [[Forum:Shadow Wars|Shadow Wars]], the Shadow Empire expanded its forces and set out to conquer the multiverse and bind various universes into [[Forum:Aincrad (Renovated)|Aincrad]], succeeding in destroying and subjugating [[Forum:Earth-NWO|Earth-NWO]], the Snyderverse, Apokolips, and many others to Kirito's will, with the souls of all of the conquered worlds' denizens being transmutated into miniature cartoonish dolls and imprisoned in Dark Fetor chambers to be used as offerings to the [[Black Heart]].
