Tirnanog

40 years ago

A man with blonde hair, cloaked in a black hooded jacket, strides purposefully toward a creaking ship moored in the darkened harbor. He carries with him an air of menace, and within the ship's dimly lit interior, he immerses himself in forbidden studies of necromancy and dark magic.

His experiments are gruesome: abducting both people and creatures, subjecting them to vile rituals, and ultimately discarding their lifeless bodies into the ocean's depths.

In the ship's heart, surrounded by grim artifacts, the man—Zorga—focuses on forging a weapon that embodies his cruel ambition.

With the essence of his experiments, he crafts a sinister trident, a tool brimming with dark energy. As he completes the weapon, Zorga recites an incantation, his voice echoing with malevolence.

The trident glows with an ominous light, but suddenly, a massive shockwave erupts from the weapon. The ship quakes violently, its hull splitting under the force. The shockwave consumes Zorga, taking his life in a moment of hubris. Half the ship sinks into the sea, leaving the room where he perished eerily untouched, lying dormant for decades—until Youth and his group unwittingly awaken the darkness within.
