Durek (of Lost Carcosa), of Wolvenfang, Goldenvale
”Have you seen the Tattered King?”
Biography:
Durek remembers little of his past, so long ago it was.
“I was Durek of Carcosa, soldier for the King (In Yellow).
A great battle was fought; Death walking freely among us, scores of soldiers falling in her wake. The fires tore at men, arrows rained freely, blades rose and fell with screams resonant in Carcosa.
I fought and bled for my liege, the Tattered King (In Yellow). The battle raged through dusks and dawns by the mist shrouded shores of Hali to the plains of Aldebaran. The twin suns sank and rose again; below them raged the maelstrom that was then Carcosa. …then I fell.”
“I awoke slowly an eternity later. Once green fields now scarred, blackened, strewed with the dead; carrion for the birds. Of my liege the King (In Yellow) naught was to be found. His banners were stained and torn, Carcosa besieged by flames, its ruined stones scattered. Wearily I searched then and still I search now for my liege…my King (In Yellow).”
“Long have I trudged bellow black stars and strange moons; I roam and wander and now foreboding thoughts are my only company. Yet I have found naught of the Tattered King (In Yellow) except his sigil…his sign, vast years and distances apart. I have lost my way unable to return to dear Carcosa; my home, my beginning. Mayhap one day I will find it with my King (In Yellow) and rest.”
"Though I may fall in battle, I shall rise again whole and healed; though sad of heart for my lost King (In Yellow) and Carcosa. Throughout this journey my hopes forlorn, my soul may vary but I am always I… Durek of Lost Carcosa.”
