The Forgotten Tomb

Added 2020-10-05 07:00:02 +0000 UTC

There is a myth of a long forgotten time when a mighty king ruled all Wordal. This is a time long before the kingdom of Rasfadal, and even the Burbric Empire. King Benerthus is supposed to have been buried in an old tomb, hidden deep within the Gynardan Mountains. But no one knows where...

Long ago lived a great king. King Benerthus once ruled a united Wordal, something that no ruler that came after him ever managed. Benerthus lived a heroic life and in eventually he considered himself more heroic even than the Gods themselves. He climbed the highest peak of the Gynardan Mountains where he then challenged Gyrda herself, Goddess of Heroism, to a duel. Benerthus fought bravely, but was no match for the Goddess, and in the end he was struck down by Her thunder.

After his death, his kingdom fell apart. Benerthus was buried in the a tomb deep in the mountains along with his successors, though their achievements didn't come close to the greatness of their ancestor. The dynasty fell, and Benerthus turned into legend, then into myth. Today he is no more than a story parents tell to their children.

But the spirit of Benerthus still lingers in that tomb, watching over his grave and challenging all who dare enter.
