The Story of Artemis

Artemis spent all his life as a sword-for-hire, and a harvester of souls for the Order of Orcus. He was known for his brutal savagery on the field of battle. Friend and foe alike would shudder in fear as they watched him behead every soldier that fell to his blade while praying to the Dark Lord Orcus. He was so bloodthirsty that only the bravest of armies and kings would dare to employ him. Eventually he got sick of freelancing, and decided to start his own Mercenary Company, the Iron Wolves, with Mercutio, a fellow Half-Elf who he once fought beside, and a few others.

Feature: Discovery
The quiet seclusion of my extended hermitage gave me access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of my seclusion. It might be a great truth, a hidden site, a long forgotten fact, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history.

BACKGROUND:
Feyson was born during war. He took his first breath as the great Kadmos won victory over the Republica. This is all he knows about his birth. He was abandoned to a monastery near the site of the battle. The monks that raised him know nothing about his parentage. He grew up and trained with the monks but was never really one of them. He knew he was destined for more. He was a teenage when he first found the scroll. It was in the scriptorium hidden in a sealed unmarked scroll case. It seemed to sing to him drawing him to it. He took the scroll case and hid it in his room. He spent the next several months researching the strange case. Finally after exhausting the small library in the monastery he opened the case. Upon breaking the seal he smelled the scent of a fresh turned grave and a shiver ran up his spine. As he unrolled the scroll the words shifted and blurred incomprehensibly. He ran his hands over the script and as his fingers touched the blurred words a shock ran up his arm and he collapsed unconscious. Feyson is not sure how long he was unconscious but when he came to he could understand the writing. It was the first in a series of scrolls that outline a ritual to learn the secrets of life and death. The following day he left the monastery in search of the other scrolls.

It took him years to find all the scrolls. He performed the ritual immediately. Accepting any terms to learn the magic the scrolls promised. As he completed the last words in the ritual searing pain ran across his back. It was also the first time he heard his patron’s voice in his mind. He was now one of the undying bound to Orcus. An intricate tattoo had been scarred across his back. Central was the symbol of Orcus the intricate twists and turns spelling out his Pact in a language few comprehended. Orcus sent him visions and signs leading him to another of his chosen. He found a kindred spirit in Artemis. They were two sides of the same coin. Feyson was a scalpel to Artemis’s great-sword. With the partnership they both feed souls to their Dark Lord.

[sblock=Goals and Background]
Background:
Orphaned and alone in the woods as a child, Lucius tought himself how to survive in the wild. His rudimentary training with the bow served him well, and he became an excellent shot. His wandering put him in touch with the Orc tribes, whom he learned much about archery from. Eventually he encountered elves, and grew to be the commander of a small force in the wars. WIth the breakup of the elves into factions, he withdrew to the wild lands, retaining a few loyal troops. He eventually fell in with the Iron Wolves, gaiing their loyalty as he gained theirs.

Goal: Lucius’s ultimate goal is to see the Republic strong and united once again.
