Birth of the Forever King
The first part of the Forever King saga takes place in the Human Territories. The patchwork nation is situated on the continent of Night, between the kingdoms of the elves and dwarves to the north and the Dark Lands, home of the dark races, to the south. The Human territories are ruled by warlords and wrought with violence and injustice. The citizens hope for change but wonder if anyone can deliver it.
Set Agamanu
As a teenager, he was thrown into a life of violence by circumstances beyond his control. Much to his chagrin, he found that he was quite adept at fighting and killing. He strives to use his deadly abilities to make the world around him a better place, while also seeking a way to let go of the violence and live a life of peace.
