On the 22nd of Cloudburst, 872 years after the Divine War, Casimian Trillinez entered the world of Avalon for the first time in the center of the city Mercinae. I am Casimian and this is what I recall of my past. I was quickly befriended by the good people of Mercinae such as Mage Hero, Mage Arabella, and Mage Tragnarion. It was soon after the good graces of these people I decided to join the Mages guild. I spent my earliest times roaming the land trying to orient myself to its great vastness. Upon my journeys I came upon one whom was to become one of my greatest friends and allies Droggy, the Wild. Droggy introduced me to many a gold quest and equipped me with essential magic by use of his talents as a Loremaster. He was quite generous and often simply provided his services to me without any charge. However, Droggy was not without enemies and I was soon introduced to the harshness of battle that would shape my future forever.
I spent much of my time following Droggy about the land learning from him its many intricacies. It was on one such an occasion I met my greatest adversary whom was displeased with Droggylf of Armageddon. The battle raged on as I stood there helplessly. Due to my lack of knowledge I was unable to aide my good friend whom soon met his demise at the hands of the aforementioned Sorcerer.
This occasion was not entirely significant in itself for the simple introduction of my future enemy. But, it was soon after the battle that I met she whom would define my purpose in the lands of Avalon forever. As I quickly descended the clouds and found my way to the pool of life whose magical forces had resurrected my friend, I beheld for the first time the divine grace of Andromeda the goddess of Dreams. Droggy introduced me and soon after I decided my patronage. Through many months of conversation with Andromeda I finnally obtained her acceptance into the order of dreams. Soon after my induction to the order of dreams I was asked to help build a new city from a town called Springtown. The few inhabitants of Springtown all had their patronage with Andromeda. Thus, there was only a handful of citizens Tarkus, Sirrus, Calagan, Droggy, Dankworth, Elfish, myself as well as a couple others (my memory fails me).
Although I did not know the land that well, due to Droggyn important document obviously dropped by some careless courier addressed to the king of Mericinae. When I was in the midst of visiting the good king to return the document I suddenly saw a blazing gate open before me. I quickly diverted my route off the road just as a huge hoard of demons came screeching, groaning, moaning, flopping, drooling, ect. around a nearby corner. Being a good Mage and having listened in earnest to the teachings of my tutor Kazayn I immediately stopped and converged all the rituals I had previously prepared for such an event. Just as I had finished I was blown out of the safety of my magic by a demon and out onto the road in front of The Lord Shaitan. There he sat mounted upon his great mutt with a large toothless grin spreading ear to deformed ear upon his hairless skull in the midst of scores of demons. I once again recalled the teachings of my tutor as I converged my rituals and set them to attack Shaitan. But I was greatly outnumbered, outclassed, and under-powered to do battle with Shaitan. None the less I held ground munching lestagii and other healing herbs while chugging potions to cure the diseases, curses, and damage he wreaked so quickly upon me. All the while I made attempts at killing him in vain. I cast a web spell, he dodges it. I cast a feeble spell, no effect. I cast a handburn, it does not even effect him at all. By this time I am covered by a slime demon, tripped by his imp, and webbed by his balrog. The battle was short, the demons jumped me and while they held me immobile Shaitan, not content to simply kill me, made me one of his undead. There was nothing I could do to stop him, he was over fifteen times my strength in magic and abilities not including some divine powers he had recently obtained. At first being fairly new to the land I thought I was lucky and he had chosen to show me mercy as he left through a magical gate. Then he summoned me to one of his holes across Avalon in the city of Thakria by making use of the vampirism he had given me. There with the aid of Prudence his hand maiden I was stripped of every earthly possession I owned at which time he sent me to the ships of death. I had lost over 20,000 gold worth of personal possessions setting me back two full months of hard work and there was no way I could get it back. My despair was so great I had decided to leave the land forever and continue my existence in another more hospitable realm. It was through my patron Andromeda and a fellow citizen Tarkus that I found the strength to carry on. With Andromedas aid and Tarkus.
