Editing Word of Blake (section)

=== The End of the Word of Blake <s>as far as we know</s>===
Whoever Devlin Stone was prior to the Jihad, nobody really knows. What is known is that he had ended up in WoB hands on the planet Kittery, as a PoW. While there, he ended up meeting some dork by the name of David Lear, who turned out to be a member of House Liao. They escaped the prison camp and the planet together, and from there, Devlin Stone plotted vengeance for having his world flip-turned-upside-down by the Blakists. He began to form his coalition using David's nobility as the opening platform, meeting leaders from across the Inner Sphere. He'd get in touch with them, get to know them, usually impress them, and finally began to receive full-throated and actual material support to just fucking end these guys already; culminating in the largest coalition of military forces in human history up to that point; millions strong and all with one purpose; blow up Thomas Marik and reclaim Terra. As it turns out, advanced tech isn't exactly going to do a whole lot when the enemy can ram thousands of Assault lances down your throat, and at long last, in 3080, the coalition found and vaporized the Word of Blake headquarters on Terra, leading to its liberation. And just to make sure, he then found Thomas Marik on the planet of Circinus, and ordered the same level of orbital bombardment right down on their heads just like Marik had done to thousands of worlds before. 

The Word of Blake as an intergalactic power was dead. And in their place, the [[Republic of the Sphere]] was formed. However, with the advent of Grey Monday, with the Inner Sphere’s HPG network being sabotaged with bombings and viruses from units bearing unidentified insignia, it’s been rumored that some parts of their organization survived in deep cover before sabotaging the comms infrastructure.
