Mondain

From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki

Mondain the Wizard

"Mondain the wizard hath wrought his malice well. Our nobles bicker amongst themselves, and each hath retired to the confines of his keep in hopes of watching the downfall of his rivals. Velily, the Evil One hath heaped indignity upon curse by releasing upon the Realm a host of creatures and beasts so bloodthirsty and wicked that our defenseless people fall as grain before the reaper's scythe. These denizens of the underworld hold sway over all that can be surveyed, save for the strongholds of the nobles besotted with their own ambition. Nowhere in our once peaceful country may a traveler find safe passage or lodging, save in the keeps of the self-proclaimed kings - - and they demand hard labors for their indulgences."

-an old artifact about Mondain.

Mondain the Wizard was a greatest evil known to our lands. So great was his hunger for power that he murdered his own father who had refused to give him the powers of Immortality. By so doing he possessed the Gem of Immortality and binded all Sosaria to his corruption. In his madness created foul creatures such as lizardmen and orcs which are still a living reminder of Mondain's evil.

But at the Darkest hour of Sosaria, a stranger came. No one knew whense he came, but his courage was without a match. Despite the danger. the stranger managed penetrated the Dark Citadel of Mondain. He prooved himself a savior by slaying the wizard Mondain and shattering the Gem of Immortality.

The destruction caused a masses of earthquakes around the Sosaria causing the land to take it's present shape. The stranger vanished in the mists of history and was not seen again, it is said only Lord British knows his fate.

With the fall of the Age of the Darkness, Sosaria needed rebuilding. It was then when one of the Sosarian Kings, Lord British, united whole Sosaria as Britannia, and declared himself as ruler of the land. As a great philosopher he created a religion like philosophy that was based on eight Virtues that was accepted by most Britannians as their religion and guide to life.

But even after 300 years of Mondain's death, there is still rumors about him. The pieces of the Gem of Immortality were never recovered, and it remains unclear what happened to them. But Britannia is not clear of Mondain's shadow yet, for it is now clear that his student and lover Minax has returned to Britannia. Using her magic and knowledge of immortality, she has somehow survived 300 years and returned to Britannia.
