Bloodhearte; the lost beginnings...
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2003 4:43 pm
After browsing through a few tomes in the library, I came across a strange book with the words 'Bloodhearte' scribbled sloppily on the black cover. I read it, and found it rather interesting that it was a biography of this cult leader...
According to the book, he was born in an ancient cavern. His parents consisted of a mysterious woman simply called 'Jaroa' and a demon named 'Hosphus.' Jaroa died only a few days after his birthday of one year due to a disease that involves weakening of strength and coughing of blood. Hosphus couldn't find a cure for this illness, and felt so much shame that he couldn't save her. Therefore, he decided to take his leave in search for a possibility to revive Jaroa. Eventually, he left Bloodhearte when he was around seven years of age, only giving him a cloak and dagger to be on his way. Hosphus simply couldn't have his child interfere in his search, fearing that the unknown magic behind Bloodhearte would muddle any attempts in Jaroa's resurrection. Bloodhearte was told to go to a library and remain there only studying after he was taught the spell 'orl kah.' There, he grew up, hidden away from social circles only to speak with travelers that would enter the library. The remainder of his childhood is never mentioned...however, at the age of 15, he experimented slightly with the dark arts and became very interested. He continued for 10 years, and suddenly walked out of the library...he never spoke to anybody, and disappeared...
For a whole century.
Afterwards, he came back completely unaged and halfway enlightened. He began this 'Cult of the Blackstone' as a movement toward the ways of Moshran. Nobody knows what had happened to him when he left...
