Emperia, a grand region out in the West. A history all of its own, yet most know of it not. This is Felus writing, and I have been asked to tell this tale. There were many kingdoms in Emperia, not the least of which was the Templar Nation. This Nation was one that respected all and considered justice the highest virtue. Botar Von Blackrock was a respected high lord, a very powerful figure. This story will focus on him. The land was peaceful, until the day... The day the traveler arrived. You see, this traveler had an object that mystified the Templars: a map. This was no ordinary map, but a map to the Nether. Intrigued, A portal went under construction, but no one knew what would come as a result. Botar and a few others dared to venture inside. .....They saw Hell. Monstrous creatures everywhere, lakes of lava.. As they were making for the exit portal, they were attacked. Some died, Botar was lucky. They thought that they had shut down the portal properly that night, but again they were wron g. Botar woke up to a city on fire. The undead were everywhere, and there was chaos. They fought the horde back with all their might. ...The flow was too strong. Botar took sanctuary in the Holy Church. They held out in the courtyard, but then a surprise came: A giant undead beast of a mn. The man wielded a giant sword, and he broke the ground with mighty rage. Botar fell into the ground, and woke up in the sewers. He reached the surface, but didn't lik e what he saw. It was just carnage. He sought out the king, his last hope. He entered the throne room, and another unfortunate sight was seen. The king was alive, yes, but on his neck he was wearing a pendant, and beside him was the traveler, counting his money, and next to him was the giant undead man. Botar did something he would never forget... He fled.  Abandoning his people to save his own hide. He knows not of the fate of his friends nore whether the king was evil or simply possessed, but he knows that he regrets running. His message is this: I do not want any pity or sorrow from this story.. It must be told. If any of the Templars read this, let it be known, The High Lord is alive... The Undead are back... Come to Kal'Alras. edit
