Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

Before your grandfather had teeth, there was a king who was stronger than all his rivals.

King Dragonwilds:Rolthar was mighty, proud and gifted with cunning. Moon after moon, challengers would throw themselves at him, and each fell before the hour passed. He was beloved by his citizens, a wise king who kept our people strong.

Yet his strength was so great that none could match him, and it birthed a melancholy he could not escape. He sought foes that might prove a challenge. Seeking a victory worthy of praise.

He chose to face the dragon. Dragonwilds:Velgar was the strongest warrior in the realm. Rolthar spent months in preparation, crafted a blade of iron and sounded the challenge horn.

The dragon was too strong, his scales too solid, yet the king refused to relent. When Rolthar’s strength finally faltered, and his last breath escaped, he still held his blade.

Velgar slew Rolthar, as all strongest must, and brought the body home. “This warrior is the pride of your people,” he told the tribe, “give him a burial worthy of his strength.” His resting place now sits high on the mountain, watching over us.

Remember King Rolthar, little pups, for the worthy must never be forgotten.
