  • They called him

  • Deathsinger.

  • Our world, Ardonia, is a vast land

  • home to many diverse people

  • strange creatures

  • and dangerous monsters.

  • Hidden among the shadows of dense forests

  • beneath the sands of treacherous deserts

  • and frozen within the ancient mountains of the north

  • are secrets and mysteries

  • which have eluded our comprehension throughout the ages.

  • Few of these mysteries, however

  • have attracted such fascination as the Ardoni species

  • for which the land shares its name.

  • The Ardoni possess the unique ability

  • to wield great powers

  • known as Songs.

  • The strongest of these powers were referred to as

  • Prime Songs

  • and were deemed too powerful for the Ardoni to wield freely.

  • Thus

  • they were given to the masters of the four Ardoni clans

  • as a sign of peace and unity.

  • Because of this

  • the clans were blinded to a great danger.

  • From within the fires of the Nether realm

  • an army set out to conquer the Overworld.

  • They vanquished the kingdoms and people of Ardonia

  • as they spread across the land.

  • But they were not to remain unchallenged.

  • The Enderknights returned during these dark times

  • long having been guardians of the Overworld.

  • The two opposing realms clashed with a fury of inconceivable power.

  • Yet the Nether had prepared well for this invasion

  • and even the legendary Enderknights could not stop them.

  • With no hope of victory

  • the kingdoms called upon the Ardoni to wield

  • the Prime Songs.

  • Reluctantly, the clans agreed and held a tournament

  • to determine which Ardoni would become their champion

  • and wield all four Prime Songs.

  • One rose above the rest

  • persistent

  • cunning

  • and powerful.

  • The champion had been found.

  • When presented with the Prime Songs however

  • he revealed himself as

  • Ingressus

  • leader of the long-forgotten and dreaded Voltaris clan.

  • Outraged

  • the masters refused to give Ingressus the Prime Songs

  • for it was due to their misuse of such power

  • that they had been banished long ago.

  • That night

  • while the clans debated their next course of action

  • Ingressus set out alone

  • to reclaim the Prime Songs.

  • One by one he slayed the masters of the Kaltaris

  • Sendaris

  • and Mendoris clan.

  • Through these dark deeds

  • he became known

  • as the Deathsinger.

  • The fourth and final master

  • Aegus Nestoris survived the massacre

  • thus protecting the last and most powerful Prime Song.

  • The Ardoni

  • mourned the tragedy.

  • They vowed to hunt down the Deathsinger

  • and to prevent him from obtaining the final Prime Song.

  • It was at this time that the Voltaris clan returned from exile.

  • However

  • even with their support

  • he knew that he was outmatched.

  • With all of Ardonia now his enemy

  • there was only one place to turn.

  • The Deathsinger met with King Chronos of the Nether

  • and formed the most powerful alliance ever known.

  • And thus

  • began the Great War.

  • The Enderknights rallied under King Rendor

  • and fought the Nether head on.

  • The humans reassembled their armies

  • The Ardoni clans wielded their Songs of old.

  • The Magnorites came from the south-

  • the Felinas from the west.

  • Some even say

  • ...He was there.

  • But despite everything

  • the Deathsinger

  • and the Nether armies

  • could not be stopped.

  • The tides of this conflict turned

  • after a young Ardoni joined the fight.

  • Skilled with the Songs

  • Achillean Nestoris was able to unite

  • and lead the armies to victory

  • which earned him the name

  • Tidesinger.

  • With his leadership and the Enderknight forces

  • the nether army was forced to retreat back into the Nether.

  • With no allies

  • the remaining Voltaris fell back to Mount Velgrin.

  • Here the Tidesinger fought the Deathsinger alone

  • and both... were defeated.

  • The Prime Songs were recovered

  • and distributed amongst the clans once more

  • signaling an end

  • to the Great War.

  • Peace was restored to Ardonia

  • and a time for rebuilding and healing began.

  • The wounds caused by the Deathsinger, however

  • will be felt forever.

  • The Great War, 11th Wall of Time

  • Hmm... well, Hawken I fail to see-

  • Hawken…?!

  • U-uh ah y-yes exactly!

  • So you see what this means Thalleous?

  • Hawken

  • were you sleeping through-

  • Look here!

  • Where do the Walls of Time say the final duel took place?

  • Mount Velgrin...

  • Indubitably!

  • Most legends, including these bungled Walls of Time, fail to state

  • that the final duel took place on the mountain's peak.

  • Alright... so...

  • what does this mean?

  • I've heard rumors of a presence on the peak of Mount Velgrin.

  • Being the naturally curious scholar that I am

  • I sent a few scouts to transform those rumors into facts.

  • That was two weeks ago.

  • And

  • what was their report?

  • There was no report!

  • None ever returned!

  • Why do you think that is?

  • I'm not- I'm not entirely sure-

  • The Voltaris, Thalleous, the Voltaris!

  • You think the Voltaris are at Mount Velgrin?

  • Indubitably!

  • I'm aware you've been hunting Voltaris ever since the Great War ended

  • so I brought you here to inform you of this lead.

  • It has been years since I lost the trail of the Voltaris.

  • I should ride to Mount Velgrin

  • and see for myself.

  • A-a-a-a.

  • Hold up there Thalleous.

  • Although I'm no Chronicler

  • I feel it my duty to accompany you

  • and record what information we find.

  • I would

  • also like to discover the fate of those I sent to investigate.

  • There's a chance we'll encounter the Voltaris

  • and who knows what other perils.

  • Fear not Thalleous

  • for I am prepared to fight!

  • Wait

  • w-wait

  • somewhere around here I have a weapon

  • unless I lost it

  • Ah! Here it is!

  • Very well.

  • Come on then.

  • Most likely this was all just a misunderstanding.

  • This is where I sent the scouts

  • right here Thalleous.

  • Someone was here

  • recently.

  • I found their supplies.

  • How peculiar.

  • Why would they leave their belongings where others might find them?

  • Because they are still here

  • You must be Thalleous Sendaris.

  • I've heard many things about you.

  • And I have heard nothing about you.

  • Oh I know, I've made quite sure of that.
