THE REMNANT: AWAKENINGS ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________
It was a land under siege. Many years had passed since the flames of a rising evil left the world in almost total ruin. The reign of the long foretold empire had begun, leading its subjects into a new dark age. The realm had fallen pray to the ancient and hideous of all deceptions. Yet, despite the ever present darkness enshrouding this vast domain, there was a remnant, a chosen people, who remained faithful to their one true Lord and Creator. They dared not bow to the false gods or pay homage to the pagan idols. Nor would they be deceived by the principalities or powers who vowed to slay them. These few prepared to reclaim the land which had once been theirs. These few prepared to drive their enemies from their midst. These few prepared for war.
But, Ulric bar Zon, ruler of this vast domain, would not relinquish his throne so easily. He devised to bring forth a pawn, a plaything, which would ensure their imminent destruction from within their own ranks.
And as the changing of seasons continued within the forests surrounding the small Pathmos village a young man, with no memory to call his own, began a journey which would strike fear into the very heart of Hell itself.
