Role

Chapter 1

Pigs in captivity are docile, delicious little creatures that are good for
nothing more than to be harvested for their meat. But... if a pig is
introduced to the wild, it becomes a completely different beast. Its skin
begins to toughen, its hair grows coarse, and gnarled tusks emerge from its
face.

Some would accredit "Mother Nature" for this change, and perhaps they're
right-- I've never met the ol' broad. But what if... what if it was something
more?

What if it is as simple as the pig's newfound freedom attracting the
free-flowing chaos magics that float aimlessly throughout Thera, transforming
these otherwise worthless creatures?

Growing up under two, well-off parents who commanded me to follow in their
footsteps, I've always felt like a pig-- shuffling from trough to trough and
carrying out tasks that I was "supposed to" with the promise of success.

All I had to do was look at the lameness of the pig and the greatness of the
boar to decide: It was time for this little piggy to leave home and get some
damn tusks.
