You are the one who presumes, Orinoko gave tactical advice to Darkness in order to repell the men he once lead in combat.
Period.
As for the rest of your post, I just found it funny that you think any one of the citizens are worth a lick in a fight on erm \"Even ground\". I didn't insult any deity I am just saying what is apparent to all without the leadership of the god of Darkness there would be no thakria, it would be rubble, And I would be dancing a merry little jig ontop of the ruined Loremasters guild.
As for the lion and me joining thakria and whatnot, I tried to join once, once,this was before Justice came back into the land and saved my soul from darkness. The other times I was asked to join and I refused. Spin it how you will.
