Chapter 1

In the far reaches of Thera there exists a massive desert
known to local tribes as the Sands of Eternity. This name
was earned due to it's vast reaches, some estimate ten times
larger than the Sands of Sorrow. It was said that one would
spend an eternity roaming it's emptiness before falling dead.

On the borders of these sands there is a nomadic clan of
traders and merchants. Our saga centers around one of the
young men of this tribe known as Drahteus. Drahteus was the
product of a human female nomad and a Drow soldier who raped
her after a raid into a city spilled into the neighbouring
areas. The woman raised Drahteus, despite pleas from her family,
but she was the only one who accepted him. To the rest of her
tribe he was a stark reminder of their weakness and inability
to protect their own.

As such Drahteus was an outcast. He grew up separate from the
rest of the tribe. He had no friends. His only human contact was
his mother who filled the young boys mind with grand tales. As a
creative woman she made grandiose stories of conquest and heroes
and magical creatures. Everywhere they went she would introduce
him to new fabricated lore. It was Drahteus' first introduction
to delusion and he found he liked living in his head better than
in the real world.
