The Forsaken Field

Prologue - The Attack

        I awoke to hearing screams of my neighbors and the crackling of fire. I quickly ran outside to see what was happening. I got outdoors and the scene before me was petrifying.  My hometown Saartharnal, was raided by a group of rouge orcs. Burning, bloodshed, and destruction was all that I could see since the orcs tore down everything and killed everyone. Then my friend Thenar saw me and jogged over. "Glad you could join the party Rithnar."he said grimly. "Yea well I'm sorry but how did this start." He looked around,"I honestly don't know, all I know is that they came out of the woods and started killing everything, hey where's your armor and sword." Oh shit I thought to myself as I ran back into my family's house. You see in my village you get a sword and armor when you turn fourteen. I got my armor from my closet and put it on just as an orc rammed through my bedroom wall. I frantically searched for my sword. Then I remembered that I sent it to the blacksmith to get sharpened for emergencies just like this. Then a ominous shadow loomed over me as the orc got ready to swing his club. He swung and then everything faded into blackness.
