Chapter 2

Born in a faraway, forgotten temple dedicated to the Lord Twist, Anhedan,
being male, was brought up in the way of the warrior, as the tradition was
there. This temple was established by a wandering mage among a barbarian
nation which he educated long ago and then abandoned. They had no contact
with known Thera and would never have heard of the disappearence of Twist if
not for the disturbance in Mana. Their task was to monitor the changes in
magic. Over the years of isolation, their doctrines were modified and
adapted several times. Magic was like a god to these people in and of
itself, with Twist as its manifestation. Magic became so sacrosanct it
became heresy to use it unless directly touched by the gods, such as a
priest.Potions and other magical items were forbidden. Spellcasting,
forbidden. Boys were trained as warriors, girls as priestesses. The girls
watched over Magic. This temple was content to sit in its far away corner
and affect nothing in Thera until mortals began tampering with the Veil.
This was the ultimate sacrilege. Magic was constantly in flux, disrupting
life at the temple and causing chaos. A message needed to be sent. Magic is
not for mortals. The Veil is not to be tampered with. The strongest of the
young warrior graduates was selected to venture into the unknown lands (what
we know as Thera) and deliver the message by the sword.
