Many tales and teachings have been passed down through the generations in the human territory, but none have been compiled and safeguarded like the holy scriptures. To the church, these writings serve as a fundamental guide to morality. Marius, however, saw something deeper within them. What if they weren't simply allegory, but an accounting of human history? What if faeries and demons were not just metaphorical myth, but a true threat that the superstitious priestesses kept at bay? Under the guise of a humble and unassuming man, Marius pursued these questions in secret. Eventually, he made his way to the university in the capital city of Torrin and rose through the ranks, becoming a professor of theology and history. Now in a position of power and respect, Marius had the means to uncover other hidden truths, and the influence to begin carefully sowing the seeds of a new vision for humankind. A path forward that would place him in history as the catalyst to humanity's rise, or the shadow of its downfall.
