Cerroneth
It is the memory of an age-old glory, lost now to even historians, and existing only in the minds of a few who keep the dream alive. They walk the paths of their ancestors, resurrecting the ways of old, and forging new roads in the quest to redeem a land that seems hell bent on tragedy.
I am one of the last of those that watched, one of the remnant of the Prophets who shaped the land and lead it to greatness. Now I record it's fall from grace and into seeming obscurity. You ask about the land, but I tell you of its soul, of its life.
It is a life that was christened with the change of the world itself. It was a time of ending, when the reigns of power were in flux and larger forces moved. The original dragons Sulfur and Cerro met their fates then, and the Elven Host come over from Inayana of the west. It was the beginning of the Von Crimson line, and the formation of the legendary Knights of the Silver Rose.
Of many things I could tell you of the times between then and now, of the Brothers War, the creation of the Order of the Storm and the Orcish Vengeance. There have been more events than even I know, my friend, some of which are best left forgotten, for some things are better left behind.
Yet it is the recent history that seems to fascinate those coming here the most -- it is without a doubt the most lamented, and for good reason. It is eight years now that the country fell to ruin, its heroes scattered or laid to waste before the might of the great wyrm Sulfur the Younger. Over a month long period he rampaged the Dragon Fortresses and turned Velyadin, the capital, into so much waste and ruin.
It was then that we were forced out of our family lands as orcs from the north pushed past the weakened defenses and took hold of the country, forcing the Royal family into exile, and shattering and burning the country like so much dried wood. Only within the last few years have new Heroes arisen from areas of the country that were not damaged and retaken large parts of the Kingdom. An uncertain peace is in the country now as it attempts to rebuild. On one hand, it is fighting off ancient enemies, and it must also defend itself from enemies of the new Empire it has thrown its support behind, defending it from forces bent on destroying the new government.
I hope you have come to lend a hand, my friend. The future may be unavoidable but the past always walks with us, determining our now -- never forget that. As the First Prophet said, All things are Cyclical, what has come before will come again...
So I feel the wheel turns to the beginning again. We are in a time of change, when the world itself moves to the beat of a new drummer. Great things are on the move, but the question that plagues my mind is this... will this be a time of creation and resurrection for the land, or is that the gentle keen of death that I hear in the distance for my home and my country... because the future calls to us all. May your road be to glory, but remember the past always walks with us, and it is impossible to escape.
