Lost Roads of Lociam - Core Rulebook - Age of the Black Chaimara
 |
I remember when the old man would sit by the fire and talk to us children about the big world out there¸ about monsters¸ of wars¸ of kings and of great deeds. Those days seem distant now¸ but the stories he wove were as real to me as you are standing before me. Little did I know that those stories were not just there to pass the time¸ but actual preparations for the world out here.
Since then I have wandered on many a lost road¸ all over this world¸ and I have seen strange and terrible things. I have spoken to wise men and fools¸ fought in wars and brawls¸ and rested under the stars. I have weathered storms¸ starved and lived in luxury. And yet I realize that for all my travels¸ and for all my deeds¸ I am just a part of a story that will be told to children as they sit by the campfire.
This world has long known a strife that I cannot fully grasp; the war between Order and Chaos¸ in which I am nothing more than a pawn¸ and the rise of the Black Chaimara¸ which has set brother against brother for three generations. All I can do is perform my duties as best I can¸ and do what I think is right¸ and hope that in the end I contribute in a way that would make the old man sitting by the fire proud.
Now I must be off. Many miles are left before me on this road¸ and I know you have your own ways to go. I just hope we can meet under better circumstances¸ and share this story together. May the Creator be with you¸ as I hope He is with me.
