Locate the Gladiator's Arena.NPC: Cedrus Trarthan Gladiator: Back when Oriath was a thriving city and I was a much younger man, the gladiatorial slavers brought a beast of a man in from the mountains near Trathus. I'm not sure {man} is even the right word. Got one eye, center of his massive tusked skull. He absolutely dominated his competition, the most brutal fighter I'd ever seen! None could match his raw strength, or his ambition! He's still in there, you know. They all are. Dead, but still walking. I highly suggest you avoid that arena. No mortal man could match that horrific might.Cedrus Trarthan Gladiator: Back when Oriath was a thriving city and I was a much younger man, the gladiatorial slavers brought a beast of a man in from the mountains near Trathus.

If I'd known she was out there while I was sitting safe behind high walls, I.... Ah, I don't know what I would have done. I was too devout at the time. Now though, I can't stomach the thought of her being out here, on her own. Meeting her changed me! Made me question my faith for the first time! If I couldn't take care of one person, how could I be part of changing the entire world? Lofty questions for a simple man.Cedrus The Twilight Order: I was an initiate, a young man freshly graduated from the academy when High Templar Venarius disappeared. Accusations flew, infighting became rife. Good men and women were burned at the stake for heresy! Only power could protect a man, and I had none. I myself was in line to be executed, when Dominus ascended to the position of High Templar and put a stop to the chaos. Small relief, that. He was not interested in prayer and piousness, he paid lip service to god but secretly sought power through the workings of corruption and thaumaturgy. Serving him, I lost my faith. And that was when the Twilight Order approached me. They said that there was a way to protect mankind from tyranny, to protect them from men like Dominus. So, I agreed to join.Elwynian The Twilight Order: At first I didn't know what to make of the order. I didn't know if they could be trusted. I lurked in the shadows and listened. What I heard frightened me, and I decided to avoid their notice. They had massive stores of food lying around in the cellars, so I figured they wouldn't miss a little bit. For many years, I only took as much as I needed, and only when I really couldn't find anything in the gardens around the estates. Eventually though, I got careless, and they caught me. |
