Backstory[edit | hide | hide all]

Before Tarnum became the Immortal Hero, he was a Barbarian who threw off the shackles of his Wizard masters and returned his people to their former greatness. This is his tale, and his downfall.

Prologue[edit | hide]

Unnamed male historian: Tarnum was a barbarian king before he became the Immortal Hero. For years, no one could stop his reign of terror, but all things must come to an end. Upon his death, he entered the legendary hall of judgment, to stand before the ancient council. There, the ancestors found him unworthy of entering paradise, so they cast him back among the mortals where... Ah, but I get ahead of myself. You wanted to know how he became king.
