The Age of Heroes has begun!


Eryn the Dwarven Champion:
"Fame is for the living, but undying fame is what you are really after, my friend. What if I told you that all your adventures so far are like a long, dreamy childhood, or an afternoon stroll under the warm sun. Think long and hard, and if you are ready to enter the Way of the Hero, if you truly wish to become a living legend, then find your destiny reflected in the burst of starlight gushing out of the body of a Star Vampire slain at the Equinox. It is where I found myself, hundreds of years ago, and have never once regretted walking the Way of the Hero."
