Chronicles of Hydan Starborn

It was on this faithful night the lore keeper looked outside his window into the gloomy night with the rain pounding the wall of the castle keep. From his studies of the great “Gael” book, with the correct alignment of the stars and the 3 moons that shines every night on Tundera, this was the night that the chosen one will be born into the world.

For a long time Tundera has suffered in the iron grip of the Grippers. Too long have the people suffered under the vile, abhorrent and horrendous Grippers who came from an unknown world on the unfaithful night 50 years ago. These skeleton thin grim ripper like zombies rode terrible lizards the size of a draft horse equip with razor like teeth and thick hide impenetrable to normal spears, arrows and conventional weapons. The Gripper themselves brandish dark swords bless in Tunderan blood by the apostle of their God named Marak.

The armies of these Grippers leaving only nations near the wasteland of Arama still standing have swallowed many nations whole. Wizard keeps, prized by these Grippers for their magical contents inside were the main priority to plunder once they settled in Tundera. Battles were fought with weapons and magic but alas nobody could stop the onslaught of these Grippers. The high council of Magic was destroyed and every wizard killed or enslaved. The only last standing keep in Arama has never been conquered yet but assassins have tried many times to penetrate its keep.

The angelic, renowned Doty Keep has ward off these attempts on many occasions. Situated on a cove closely to the 3 main element of the world where the strongest magic is derived from, Doty Keep stood guard waiting. The 3 elemental sentinel guardian of earth, water and air up conjured by the 1st order wizard Mattias has stood guard for 3 generation without fail to protect Doty Keep. The lore keeper is the only one left to guard the keep and the secrets of its content. The surrounding area of the keeps makes it difficult to be attacked. Surrounded by a magical forest guarded by Graku, the earth elemental, the enemies have lost many Torker who tried to sneak in through the mountain behind the keep. Graku’s who is the totem of a bear, guard this forest. With his sharp claws and inhuman strength and his ability to melt and become one with the earth, nothing can step the earth without his knowledge. Trees whispers to the earth elemental when enemies without souls or with a dark heart walk the earth surroundings the keep. The Doty Keeps front view faces the opens sea with clear blue skies. The open air guarded by the Wrist, the air elemental with a dragon totem. Its mighty wings will create hurricane like winds to destroy any flying Torker coming from the open seas. Its petrifying glare will turn man to stone and beasts of the air of good heart never need to fear it for it is a guardian of the righteous and honorable. Merk the sea sentinal guards the seas of Doty Keep. The merman with his trident rides the waves when an enemy is seen and together with ability to telepathically communicate with sea creature, they repel enemies from the seas.

Knowingly this night the 4 guardian of the Tundera last remaining standing keep looks to the east over the Mountain of Alila sensing the nearness of time when the chosen one will arrive. All know that with the arrival, the new future master will need them in all aspect of magic and fighting skills to fight the Grippers and bring peace back to the world know as Tundera.
