Sorcery Ascendant Origins

I founded my empire on lies and bloodshed. Thus they are built. Some name me cursed, but I am an immortal emperor. Attend to my tale. If you dare....

I was born when the world was a glorious place, but my parents were betrayed and murdered. I was raised by my sister in fear and poverty instead. That was merely the beginning.

I lived through untold death and destruction when the old world was shattered, when creations turned against creators and a new evil rose to assert power.

I fought back against the new order and broke humankind free from the shackles of terror that enslaved them. I discovered secrets beyond the lore of all other sorcerers, knowledge that ensures my people will not lack a shepherd on their long march through eternity.

And yet the ungrateful world forgets.

Bites the hand that feeds it.

Comes for me with armies.

Sharpens the assassin’s blade.

Do you think that I, immortal emperor, greatest of all sorcerers, guardian of my people, will not meet you with fire, sorcery, and steel?
