Rise of Avhi Escron
Thousands of years ago in
lands long gone there was a
prophecy of power. It said
'One shall be born perched
between light and darkness.
They will grow and one day
shroud the world in golden
light or encompassing
darkness. For they will

born shortly thereafter. She
was the child foretold in the
prophecy and the forces of
light and dark waged war over
her. As time passed Avhi
began to show signs of
extreme magical power,
unmatched by any ever known
to the world. The time for
her to choose was fast

As the time came upon her
Avhi was tempted by the

of unseen power, wealth
beyond imagining, and
endless lands to rule.

into an encompassing
darkness.

as Bertoxxulous, was among
the powers that she now

of necromancy, creating new
dark rituals, and spells
