The Paracletus, the fabled warriors who came to the aid of the Five Races of the Lands when called upon, were long departed from the world. They were a mix of the Races these grand protectors who came from the walls of the castle Pallator, a fusion of Primate and Dae, of Ursi and Burrower, and the Equines from the plains of the West and even Humans. All Five Races of Anthros, an infusion themselves of animal and human kind, had come to see their Paracletus as saviors till the night it all came to a nightmarish end behind those high walls of Pallator. Now the protectors were just tales told to children, stories whispered by the fires in hearths, of knights fighting back the armies of Trolls and Ogres and Giants and yes, even Dragons. They were gone, the Paracletus, the tellers of the tales would say and yet some said there were ones who survived that night so long ago, ones who escaped and disappeared. Jared Sinn is a Paracletus, his tall frame a visible marking of every Race from his face to his long muscular legs. How did he, as a babe, escape that dreadful night when it all came to an end? Jared's birth has always been an unknown, even to the humans who raised him. The only thing left to him by his mother and father is a medallion discovered in the swaddling by the lady who found him in the woods. Now Jared wants, needs to know, what the carvings in the medallion mean and who better to ask then one of the oldest beings still alive...an evil Ancient Black Dragon named Thaxmosis. But how does one go about seeking the help of a Wyrm with such a terrible reputation for malevolence and death? Well, you secretly tag-along with a band of thieves who are about to raid the Dragon's lair in search of treasure of course. Now ready yourself, sharpen your swords and tighten your bow strings, for you and Jared are about to set off in search of his birthright...
