The Pit

He was just a simple farmhand. One that thought dragons and fairies were stuff of legends and stories. Now he wished his thoughts would be true. Standing amidst the ruins of a once great city, he now leads bands of brave soldier to the battlefield to test their worth against all the horrors lying before them. Everything changed when he was thrown into the pit. A place where unspeakable things dwelled. A place of the undead. A place in which you could only survive when you learned to embrace the darkness within the deepest reaches. In this very place, Verilon was re-born. A person who had embraced his inevitable fate, but survived against all odds. A person which was a great mystery to even the most studied scientist. How could a person escape that hellish place and still act like nothing of that ever happened, even rise to power in the now so great army of Arianos. How could one not be corrupted by the powers that dwell amidst the chaos inside all the darkness that surrounds The Pit? Many men and woman wonder, and no one has fully gotten to the truth of his tale. No one, until a mighty magician searched the Great Library of Litheros and stumbled on a document so ancient, no one alive could translate it. At least they thought no one could. After Verilon heard about the magician discovering the ancient document, he immediately went to the chambers of the magician and told a surprised old that he should sit down, for this was a story that took much time to tell.
The magician, known as Mortimai, was willing to tell this tale. Still trembling of fear, he would begin to describe the great mystery surrounding Verilons youth.
