In a long forgotten land, where primeval forces surge and heroes fade to legend, mankind had a quite different destiny, one tied into the very cycle of life. Light ruled but in time all things fade, and mankind will no longer know death, and men shall take their true form
Darius was never one for prophesy and legend, but then some common foot pad stabbed him in the street and he lay dead, he knew not for how long, then he was back to life, sitting at a fire staring into its flames as if he had been there all day, and he realized, the curse had found him. When he returned to his family after the funeral, they knew the swirling black mass on his face, his ragged appearance, he was undead, and would eventually be a hollow, little more than a soul searching zombie, he had to leave. The land was called Drangleic in some legends, Lodran in others, all he knew was the bonfires would lead him to a way to save his memories, so he left everything he knew behind to spare them from his cruel fate and persecution and left for a land of great souls and monsters a place where he could stave off the curse and not loose his precious memory.... but why?
The effects of hollowing, its not pretty: ((image not character, just shows three of the many stages of hollowing.))
I followed the path, I did everything, I lit the fire and I did it again, I died over and over agian, Dying wasnt so bad once I had the crowns, more like.. sleep. Throuought it all I didnt sin and take a healthy life, I lost a few friends.. but I did it... and then i did it again.. and again.. nothing changed the cycle, I spiced it up, ornifex wasnt bad... melentia was mad about Chloanne and I but she'd been giving me rocks since day one.. heh. Shanalotte was kind to me the whole way through, and her.. unique mehtods of helping me convert the souls i absorbed... Well Ive already spilled too much. Im a bit rough around the edges but i prefer to be nice..seen too much combat and death to really believe that anymore though. I couldnt live there that way... over and over anymore.. so I took all my souls.. and all that power.. and I left. Nexxus Ho.
