A Tale of Sorts. (Autobiography of Lance Ulhric)

So where should I start? My life story? I believe I would rather not talk about my past. So I will talk about my recent travels, the past isn't the important part. I awoke in this new land, as I traveled with my companion Bloodnrose, we met a man named Ferin. He led us to a small destroyed city, and asked if we would join the cause to restore it. We did, and now we live and work there, trying to restore it. One night in town, we were threatened by the Undead, and charged in to attack. Thanks to our General, Sir Tim, we experienced no casualties. The group call themselves the Sword of the West, and together we hope to restore the town. A few days later I decided to explore this new world. Soon I came across a small town. I was greeted by a few guards, who warned me about the Undead, and the lightning. Apparently lightning means that the undead are very nearby.. Hearing it is one thing... Seeing the lightning means they are very close and.. you need to run.. While on watch duty, Bloodnrose and myself saw many bolts of lightning strike the ground nearby.. Only later did I learn that the Undead are closing in on the Capitol of Oren.. We should be careful. I decided to visit Oren one day, when I met a man on the road who was experiencing a Bandit attack. His name was Finn_Fennix.. I decided to give him backup to save his small hut from being robbed. We drove the Bandits away, saving the nearby homes from theft, Finn was greatful. Later in town I noticed Finn being questioned by Oren Officials. I decided to find out the reason. It turns out that they were out asking the population for ideas to help the government. I suggested more roads, and hopefully a road to the SotW Town will be built someday. They believed this info had helped them sort out their troubles, and I hope it did. Anything to help the government as I always say! Heh. Joma, 20th of Malins Welcome, 1308: As I have feared.. the Undead want to take the capitol.. During a conversation with a few other people in the town, we have agreed that more roads would allow us to get our troops where they need to be.. Hopefully in time. Of course sir, I will do that with most haste. I told this to a fellow I met in town, his name is Zebana of Holmes. He wanted me to tell Tim who he was, and I will do so for him. It seems that the guard are taking security more seriously, maybe this will keep the undead out. I have learned that the current leader of the Oren Guard is not focusing on his job.. This is not great news.. A few of us decided it would be a good idea to speak in the pub.. Less people to eavesdrop on us. After a long conversation, we bid each other farewell, and were on our seperate ways.. I wonder if I will ever see them again or.. if anything we discussed will even matter. There appears to be a large group gathering to fight off the undead.. This could be a large battle. I will defend this Kingdom with all my might! If I fall.. this book will let the world remember me. Dear man or woman who finds this book.. Let it live on as my legacy! The battle did not go as planned.. we were easily defeated.. Another push was denied by their minions.. We need support! We are now deep in their lines! We can win if we stick together! We have been pushed back yet again! During the battle one of our men fell.. I was able to claim his things.. Thank you kind sir.. You're death will not be in vain! I promise to use your items to the fullest! Today we have fought valiantly to defeat the Undead at the fallen city! I am most relieved to find this book unscathed after the long and painful battle.. I am most certain that, although we suffered many losses, the battle was a success! After the battle, I thanked Botar for saving this lost book, and escorted him home. When we returned I was shocked to learn that he himself, had killed the Undead Archlord. We can home with the news of their defeat, and I believe that I have finally found the place I want to settle down.. Right here.. In the Capitol of Oren. So I guess you are wondering about my past now right? Well.. I guess I can tell you some. I grew up in a simple village, learned how to use an axe, farm, and a variety of things. One day, the place was attacked by Orc Bandits, and I was one of the few survivors... I sword revenge that day.. I lived the next few years in bitter anger towards all Orcs. We tried to rebuild, and we were able too in a few weeks. I decided to protect my town as a guard, and I did fight a few battles.. However, in the end, it was not the life for me. So I traveled to Aegis, and so far, it has been what I want. The people I meet here, how they share my same ideas or fears, motivate me to continue. Even during the battle of Snowey Fields, I am proud to have been there.. for Oren! I will always be there for Oren.. even during something that could be our last battle.. Even if I go down with the ship, I am proud to do it.. for my Kingdom! I will just have to wait and see... just how my future plays out... King.. Peasant.. Guard.. I am glad to have something to live for.. Oren. Haha, and who knows, maybe one day we will defeat the Undead, and I can finally find that peaceful place to settle down... Until then reader, this is the end. This Tale of Sorts has come to a close! :: ~The End.~
