Many realms have I walked, across landscapes both wondrous and treacherous.

I have known triumph and loss, and through each victory and failure, I have sought the wisdom to carry forward. Yet even the most storied of journeys may find themselves at their origin once again, and so I come to you—humbled, yet resolute.

It was Tharos, the Black Lion, whose voice reached out to me in a dream upon my arrival in the Shire of Mordengaard. In this vision, I was shown a place where a great warrior lay in eternal slumber, beyond the reach of time itself. Guided by the will of my god, I followed the path laid before me, and there found the resting form of Lord Caim Bloodwyrm. With the last spark of magic left within the Dagger of Time, I placed my faith in my vision and returned him to the living. Though the dagger’s power is now spent, the act it allowed me to fulfill will forever remain in my heart.
