The ancient and powerful spirit Izard sent you here to fight and slay thousands of cultists, to pave the way to the Outer Battlefield, or die fighting. He said that this was his way of testing you, himself, and even the Sentinels. He was mad, no doubt about it, and he was also filled with the poison of hatred for Emperor Ram Vilor. What could ever be tested in such a way? But Izard’s spirit was wrong about one thing. There is always a choice. Another way. Find it, or make it yourself.
All around the Lands of Itrea, a mark shines above your head, keeping you from hiding from your enemies. Cowardice isn’t an option. But if there is one thing you are good at, it is fighting and being stubborn. But there is another thing you rarely think about. It is how closely the Heavens are watching you. Watching and arranging meetings along the way.
