The Demon from Halcandra

Feared and hated by his own kind from birth, a Halcandran mage is exiled far away from society. He is punished simply from existing. He isolates himself, burying himself deep into the studies his mother left behind, continuing her work in solitude.

The clan elders forbids anyone who would venture where the Dark Witch, Nocthara, studied the forbidden. The home of the Demon, nothing awaits foolishy curious Halcandran but death. They will be cursed, they will be killed, and the Demon shall laugh as they die.

Time passes, the Demon remains in his home, just as he was asked. His existence became folklore, a fairytale, told to misbehaving children. Many heeded the warnings from the clan elders, staying away from the mountains of Halcandra.

But the thing about folklores and fairytales, it breeds curiosity. Many will try to confirm if the stories are true, despite the warnings.

More often than not, those stories are exaggerated, filled with lies to instill fear. Told through the mouths of false saints, seen through the eyes of prejudice.
