Opis

Quan's Retribution: Quan was a slothful elitist Dwarf who was disavowed by his father and sent to the mining pits to build character. Once there true to form he ignored the advice of those stationed in the mine much longer than him, until finally he saw the error in his ways. While digging through the rock one fateful day the ground rumbles and crevices split. Revealed after the tremors are the true monsters of the deep. His actions, triggered by self-preservation, as well as duty, will show how much he has indeed grown. The Hedge Prince: When the Draugr attack they strike a fearsome blow, Damascus blessed with the sacred flame must make a crucial decision. Stay and fight in his families honor or pay heed to an ancient prophecy that states one of his line must live to protect humanity in the future. Yusuf's Loyalty: Yusuf is a hermit in the twilight of his years that lives on the hills hemming in the great forest. There as he heads back home he hears the skies boom and crackle. The sky suddenly darkens, and he runs for home soaked. Once there he finds an uninvited guest that gives him a message he can't ignore. He is told Onouris his patron God is in a pitched battle and inevitably will fall if he does not receive aid. Yusuf never one to mince words withdraws his bow from where it has rested and takes up the fight as the legendary Pious Archer one last time. Preservation of Xo: Tulle is the only Orc Bladesmaster in the world, and he is Chieftain to the largest Clan in the North. Yet he is forced to submit to the whims of the Half-Giant Warlord that actually rules the north. In the midst of a war that engulfs the world he struggles to identify who is truly the real enemy of his people. While he vents his rage a cloaked guest may change his people's fortunes."
