Role

Chapter 5

I've fought much, and I've met many who are more than my match. The dark
elves Zikaroz and Kostyan, duergar Waris, giant Igbah, they are all
powerful opponents who I normally cannot best alone.

In one ill-fated fight with Kostyan, I was slain while the Emperor had
ordered one of his lackeys to empty his pockets so my corpse could be
looted as thoroughly as possible. It was a setback, but I told myself of
the vows of dedication I've made, and my confidence that even if I were
only armed with rudimentary tools, I would know my limits and tactics and
adjust accordingly.

Embarrassingly, the stories of my many skirmishes with some of the foulest
of Theran Heroes have spread to the extent that I am known to many as a
'Relentless Dedicant'. I hope I can do justice to that moniker.
