Brother of Pain

The son of a farmer, no wiser to the will of the gods than the other poor souls in the fields next to him. Rhydian only knew as much as the priests would tell the poor peasants of his village... and it wasn't much. A prince, bathed in blood and hungrier for death than he cares to admit. War following in his wake, he seeks only to live up to his name as the Acolyte of the vengeful goddess of pain, Azuara. The Collapse was killing more and more each day, and now with a warlord prince tearing up any village he gets his hands on, Rhydian must find a way to speak with the patron of his own kingdom. But the gods have spoken for years, having gone silent when the first waves of disease and disaster began to spread through the world.
