<span style="color:#e5e5e5">Instead of boring you with a super long introduction of our Aurelianus bloodline, the descendants of Romans, I shall instead tell you of how we came to be in London. Once upon a time in a quaint village in Wales, three brothers: Anton, Arthfael, and Archion decided it was time to leave their sleepy home and chase grand dreams in the bustling city of London. Our ambitious plans, however, were nearly thwarted by our sister, who initially refused to part with a few quid for our journey. After much bickering and pestering, she finally relented, albeit reluctantly, from her secret stash of bank holding.<br/><br/>

With the funds in hand, the brothers made their way to their Bampi’s ancient antique car, <i> The Jolly Ho!,</i> a legendary rust bucket that was notorious for going only 35 kilometers per hour, reeking of old socks, and stubbornly requiring a stick shift. Anton hopped in behind the wheel, ready to tackle the back roads while Arthfael, struggling with hiccups from the nerve-wracking ride, clutched his stomach.

A Galliard in the End of Days

Our world is a teetering landscape of hungry shadows as we face the brink of annihilation. As a solitary Galliard within my pack, I look upon the battle-scarred landscape and realize it is my responsibility to weave the intrigues of war and to share with others the fabric of our history. Those in my family before me, like the late Galliard known as StoneKeeper was renowned for transforming stories and memories of lost soldiers into tales imbued with grim wisdom. He has now since passed his legacy down to me. We are now tasked to learn from them, as each narrative he sought chronicled the strategies that outmaneuvered sheer numbers of the Wyrm with cunning know how. The knowledge of past battles is our newest deadliest weapon, which can be far more effective than a single sword.

Our lands are afflicted by the Wyrm, a vile and relentless corruption, which erases lives and devours the essence of our planet; destroying what little resilience is left. For me, storytelling is not merely an art; it's a lifeline thrown into the swirling maelstrom of despair, where urging Gaians to look beyond the chaos and to embrace the sage lessons of yesterday is how we're going to enhance our chances of survival.

To chronicle and preserve the past, my responsibility is paramount so that we do not repeat our errors of bygone eras. Each tale I record, becomes a vital thread in the tapestry of our existence. I record upon sacred relics, each stone engraving preserves a measure for the next generation to come, as my Grandfather did before me. And as the cities crumble beneath the gnawing grip of the Wyrm's ravaging appetite, it is a storyteller's very breath that seems to stir the ghosts of fallen warriors to not be forgotten. We carve echoes of history from the spirits, or vital truths by Gaians, who live to tell their tales while our very numbers dwindle. It is our strategy that will save us to live another day. It allows us to approach the darkness and not live in despair.

We are navigating the very survival guide of modern day warfare. So whether I etch the triumphs or horrors of battle, may it ignite a spark in hearts when all else is lost. We do not want to be doomed to repeat our mistakes. We learn from them, or we simply die. Do not let the silence of forgotten battles envelop us. Tell us your stories of immence sacrifice, and greatest victories. Your survival could prepare new generations of warriors. Thus, with every word still inhaled and every story exhaled, I cultivate an enduring hope for our people. Each tale is a lifeline in the void of the war around us. And I will fight to ensure the essence of our collective battles against the Wyrm will not leave us forever rotting in graves of oblivion.

It's common sense, but suck it up punk.
