>"A mysterious stranger once sold me a magical set of armor. His price was my own flesh and blood. I graciously accepted, for I would sacrifice anything for king and country."

>"I still remember my own horrid screams as I donned the armor, blood pooling at my feet as my flesh was consumed, and my soul bound."

You are Sir Hadrian Blackhand, all that remains of a shattered kingdom and her people. Your soul bound to a living suit of armor, and entombed in the fallen capital of your kingdom. Recently however, you have regained your freedom, and set out for find the cause of the apparent cataclysm that rocked the world while you were imprisoned.

You traveled east, only to find a blasted landscape seared by a massive fire elemental, and the sick cult that worshiped him. Dealing with that, you follwed the coast and found the city of Grandal, but the city is not without its problems, as you are soon drawn into a murder mystery that evolved into some cult worship that you swiftly deal with, in the process finding out some things. After the death of the watercult word had been spreading about you and your work, so you paid the king a visit. You left Drei after things finished up in the city, with an unspoken promise to return one day.

You left the northern gate of the city, following the road. You had been traveling for a few hours when you realized you never thought to pick up more than a map of the local area, so you have no idea where you are going right now.

You are currently in a rock plain, following the road, it stretches on for miles it seems.

My girlfriend says that, as you have not indicated what you have "regained your freedom" from, it applies to all possible subjects. In this case "bound to a living suit of armor" and "entombed in the fallen capital of your kingdom". Only posting to piss her off. sage for off topic

Concealing your more nefarious looking features, you carefully enter the blackened village, keeping on alert for whatever caused this.

What you are greeted with is silence. Silence and bloodstains. Curiously no bodies at all, however. There are telltale signs of battle, discarded weapons and wrecked houses. Even the stables are empty, flies starting to group to the festering blood in the stalls.

Riding through the town, you try and find where the fighting took place. After a bit of searching, you conclude that the main event started from around the center of town, then spread outwards, like the people were fleeing something.

Starting from the center of town, you see that there is a rather large amount of blood smeared over the front door of the small chapel there, and are astounded to find the inside immaculately clean, despite the scorched exterior. Further investigation shows that nearly all of the other buildings are like this, except a near line of them smashed leading out of the village.

The most peculiar is the town hall. Blood is coating the entire front, sprayed from the bottom two the 3 floor window. Investigation of records inside reveal nothing out of the ordinary.

Using your Arcane vision, you peer out at the surroundings, to see what is hidden from you. You are greeted with strange bits of magic lingering in the air that you don't recognize.

Its not that they are so unrecognizable from being used, its you simply have never seen anything like this before. Whatever was used here, it was not magic invented by your kingdom. It may not even be elemental.

It trails all the way down the path of smashed houses, then simply....stops. Its like it just vanished when it reached the end of the village. No tracks lead away in its place.

Carefully examining the "exit point", you can't seem to find, well anything. All that is present are the scorched houses and line of destruction. Very suspicious. This didn't sit right with you, and the checking of more houses with immaculate interiors only made the feeling grow stronger.

Out of ideas you travel back to the center of town. With the vision on, you notice something....disturbing about the blood. On the church are writings and letters in a jumbled mass of languages, none of it making sense even with the words you could read.

The town hall however, was considerably worse. You stared at the image of a screaming face painted with the blood.

Its almost sunset.

Taking a closer look at the face, you see the blood is actually dried in considerably, yet no flies come near it. Staring at it a moment longer and you hear a faint screaming in the back of your head. turning around quickly with your readied Glaive, you see you are facing the chapel. The screaming fades away.

Noticing the quickly fading day, you decide to wait in the chapel in hopes that whatever attacked her may show itself once more. Entering the chapel, you take note of the inside.

Its a small wooden thing, nearly everything is made of wood. There are a few pews and an alter. There are no other rooms besides the one you are standing in. There are still candles lit, and the room was arranged in such a way that would suggest that they were in the middle of a service when it happened.

The dusk faded away quickly, and is now reaching the twilight hours.

There is a neatly open book on the alter. Consuming it without second thought, you find that these people were in fact believers of the Fire God. The text gives brief note of the other religions, but that merely consists of the book accusing them of not being the true faith. According to the book, the religion of Fire is the strongest faith in the world, but you feel like it may be incredibly biased.

Though it may be the primary religion of this area of the world, considering that the Water God only had a cult.

Was the mage immortal or something? It seems that this religion of theirs is rather old so he must have been holding it up there for a long time. Or did it get passed from one mage to another.

Taking a seat with your back propped up against the alter, you wait for night to settle in. Which it does, and you find yourself sitting in the dead silence for several hours. Then you hear sounds. They start out merely mutters, incoherent babble, but they being to grow in sound until you can make out the words.

".....help...murder.....help, murder.....No...please...stop....black....knight....king....why..please no why black knight...." You listen in. These words directed at you seem very familiar. You have no time to ponder has as the intensity of the words increases tenfold into outright screams of agony and despair.

The sheer mass of voices and emotions sends you flat on all fours, the screaming pounding through your head tearing out ones that are your own and adding other more alien ones. In that moment you are overwhelmed by the cries of the dead, come back to bring justice on their reaper.

Then the screaming and hammerings stops. "Hadrian....." No. You look up from your position on your hands and knees. Her body is as charred as the mannequins from the blasted tower, but her voice...and her clothes betrayed who it was. She takes a step towards you. Stay back. "Hadrian...you promised you would come if I called......I wanted to sing for you...." The necklace is seared into the blackened flesh, she reaches out and takes another step. "My friend....." Another voice. The blood still dripping from his mouth staining his court finest "I trusted you....you swore an oath...." STAY BACK. More and more voices and figures soon join them, until the pleading and accusing is a mass of noise again.

Then they surge at you, sending you flying back. The screaming returns anew. you let out an anguished roar.

Struggling with what seems to be an intense weight on your back, you manage for force yourself up on your legs, and sprint to the door. Only the door is now a thousand miles away, the screams now filling the air as you run. Until...

*BAM*

You ram into the door and terrifying speeds and fly out onto the ground. Only to be greeted by a blast of wind and the giant face screaming at you, bloody tears pouring down its face in a silent yet audible endless scream.

Distorts itself, giving off shades of people dying and the village getting attack by raiders. Off in the distance you can see many figures moving around a rather large bonfire off in the distance, but none of them seem human.....

Then your head hits the ground and the screaming stops. Lifting your head, you see a lively village going about its daily life. People stop and stare at you.

Using Arcane sight, you look around at the people that are now looking at you, whispering and muttering about where you came from. Everything seems normal, and a large cheerful man bounds over to shake your hand.

Laughing, he bellows "Welcome to Narrowbridge friend, I hope you enjoy your stay!" Bewildered by the mans sudden friendliness, you would have almost not noticed the the difference in the town. The towns folk are going about the same motions over and over, with near inhumane movement.

The large man in front of you scratches his featureless face as he shakes your hand with the one of his other ones. "Welcome to Narrowbridge friend, I hope you enjoy your stay....."

You awake screaming in the fields several miles away from the village.

DID WE SAY "FUCK THIS" AND TURN TAIL WHEN WE SAW THOSE CHARRED BODIES OUTSIDE OF THE MAGE'S TOWER?

DID WE TURN TAIL AND RUN WHEN WE FACED DOWN 60 WATER CULTISTS AND THEIR SACRILEGE IN THE RUINS OF THE LAST BASTION OF OUR PEOPLE?

FUCK. NO.

So why is it now that you all say "this is too much" and want to RUN AWAY. We shouldn't give a single fuck if some angry ghost or evil force wants us out, there are people here who NEED OUR HELP, and we shouldn't rest until we've freed them.

Yeah, whatever that screaming face was is probably the entity behind it.

What we need to figure out now is if those people were actual souls that we can free or if they're just some weird sort of echo caused after whatever calamity hit the town.

Speaking to and manipulating lost and tortured souls seems to be our thing though, so maybe if we focus now that we know what's coming, we can communicate with it better.

Are you SURE there's nothing in town that can give us a better idea of what brought this about? I don't want to just ride back into the town and go through this again, but if it only shows up at night, and there's no other traces of anything we can communicate with any other way, then that might be our only option, steel ourselves and take it again.

Or... maybe we can find another nearby town and ask around for news regarding this? Surely an entire town can't get wiped out without anybody else noticing.

Well we don't really know if that will stop whatever is going on here. If we burn down the town and then everyone is still trapped in that hell, then we'll have lost any way of finding out how to really free them.

But if that's what is needed to stop this for good, then yes, we will burn it to the ground.

Taking a moment to calm your head, you try to understand what just happened. You don't know, it almost physically hurts you to think about, but one thing is for certain, this place is filled with some kind of dark fell-magic. It must be cleansed before others fall prey to what ever foul being resided here. Glaring over at the village, you almost don't even notice that it is now daylight out. A rage overcame you. How dare this, this THING thrash you around like some cheap toy.

Not noticing the grass burning black at your feet, you mount Mercy, who likewise is in his own fury. Kicking off, you explode off at inhumane speeds as a blackened trail of burned vegetation is left behind you. It is mere seconds before you close the several mile gap to the town.

There seems to be no resistance, the buildings are back the way they were before the night.

You hate this place. You HATE it. You hate the idea behind it. This hate burns into your very existence, pouring from your body in a cleansing white fire. Nearing the main street, you can almost hear the screams in agony as you cross the threshold, setting ablaze the buildings before it could mount another mental attack on you.

Faster still you rode, the rocks splitting and turning molten under the raging hooves of Mercy. Searing the filth from the face of the world, you explode out the other side, the entire town in a roaring inferno.

The groans and cracks of burning timber can be heard, then the fire seems to reach a critical point and a blood boiling scream raises up into the air. The fire swirls up and up until it has become a firestorm, erasing the town from existence. In the midst of the torrent of fire and scream, the red face rears up from the center, and glares at you as it burns into oblivion.

You watch as it slowly fades with the rest of the town, leaving a pile of truly firebombed buildings. You gaze at your work, and think of what exactly just happened there. Magic shouldn't be capable of this. Advances in the arts must have come considerable way to be able to create an entirely new school of magic.

You are saddened by some of the truths that the wraiths whispered to you, but you would be damned to let some of the false ones come true.
