Know, Oh Mortal,

that in an age where Chaos and Plunder

were to reign supreme,

a lone Warrior from noble descent

was man's only hope to avert the coming of the Dark dominion

as foretold by the Oracles.

Only one man,

forced against his will in the role of mankind's Savior,

destined to make heart-rending decisions that would tear him apart,

was to prevent the Dark rule of the Emperor-Mage

Payches-Ra.

His Name... ODORIC
