==Story==
'''SPOILER WARNINGS BELOW!'''<br>Captain [[Captain Kentril Dumon]] and his group of mercenaries traveled travelled through the jungles of [[Kehjistan]]. Moving toward where screams could be heard, they found [[Hargo]] within the maw of a huge serpentine creature with tentacles. After a long attempt to pull the tentacle beast to shore with ropes and nets around its horns, one of the two archers stroke its eye, and the creature reeled in pain back to the waters. Captain Dumon shot one of the archer's bows and stroke Hargo in the chest with an arrow. Better to die a quick death than to be tormented as the creature feasted on him. Three of their men had died in this journey. One of them to the poisons of giant spiders.
Kentril blamed the deaths on his employer, [[Quov Tsin]], who mostly traveled travelled ahead of the mercenaries, not minding the fate of his men. Quov Tsin is an elder vizjerei [[Vizjerei]] sorcerer driven by the search of the lost city of [[Ureh]], known as "The Light among Lights" by the ancients. The most pure of realms in all the history of the world, built upon the very slope of the towering mountain called [[Nymyr ]] -- a place fabled to be the one kingdom where the darkness of Hell had feared to intrude.
