I wake up groggy. Wait who am I? Where am I? It seems groggy isnt my only symptom. I look around, the first thing i notice is a pile of clothes with a weapon and a note on top. The note says: Your name is Ptolmey+,you were once a fearsome lich, but you were slain by a mortal. Before you were slain you were an unstoppable mercenary for hire.The clothes and weapon are what i was able to rescue from your dying body. DiStUrB Hold on what is a lich? Why was I slain? And who is DiStUrB? I guess theres only one way to find out,I must travel the world to find out who I was. To start I think it might be wise to put on the gear I have. As I was putting on the gear I noticed the manufacturerer's tag, the gear is a sorcerer's ethreal cloak,a sorcerer's ethreal shield, and a sorcerer's ethreal hood, the weapon was a devine mace of the healer.I suppose this is good gear but i dont remember My first stop after I don my gear is the local pub I should be to find out about my gear in there. When I first enter the pub everyone gets real quiet. Then when they see i'm not looking for anyone they start talking again. I walk up to the bar and order a golden ale. While waiting for my ale I ask the person sitting next to me about my gear. The person sitting next to me says his name is Grimm and that my gear is typical of that of all liche's.I then ask him what a lich is and he laughs and says i should know I was one of the most feared liche's When I tell him i have no memory of who or what I was he gives me a longing look and says I am lucky because I no longer lose sleep over my past sins.He then tells me that liche's are fearsome beings who can only use magic.And if a lich is slain by a mortal the lich becomes a mortal upon ressurection and the mortal that killed the lich gets the title of slayer. At that point I got my ale and after I drank the ale I thanked Grimm for the information and left the pub. So began my adventure's acrossed this strangely forgotten world.

As i'm leaving the town i find out it is called nachtburg.I also find out the town is in the north-west corner of this forgotten world.My travels take me east of the town and after about 3 minutes of running I ran into a strange monster which i proceed to kill,at first with my mace but this method of battle proved to inefficent, so i looked through my belongings for something i might have missed. what i came up with was a big leather bound book with the words SPELL BOOKimprinted on it.I figured this was as good of help as I was going to get so i opened the book and on the first page was the words, Mage pg 2 Healer pg 50 , on the second page was a list of spells which included ones called Twist of Fate,Mage's Wrath,Death Cloud,and Acid Rain.I chose Mage's Wrath becuase it sounded the deadliest.After i cast the spell i looked at the space where the monster was an see only a small treasure chest.So this is the power i controlled?No wonder i was so feared. After i looked through the chest, which contained gold, a dagger of hindsight, and a dagger of the sly,I continued to travel east.Then i ran into mountains and had to go north around them.Then I went east again for about 4 minutes of running and found myself unable to continue for sometime. when I thought myself capable of walking again I went north around another group of mountains.After walking for about 8 minutes I found myself at a fork in the road, I opt to go south and soon find myself coming towards a peninsula of mountains.As I am going around this peninsula I can see a river off in the distance.When i reach the river I travel north and after another 4 minutes of or so of walking I see a bridge. I figure that the bridge is the best way to cross the river, my thoughts are confirmed when I spot a road leading away from the bridge.After deciding running would be faster I run east then south following the road until again I feel that I cannot go on and must rest.I do this odd and funny cycle 4 times I then come upon another town which I have forgotten because of my tragic accident. I see a sign as I am entering the town, that says "welcome to Coradale, the tomato town."So thats two towns and their names down and I dont know how many to go.But with any luck I maybe able to find out more of this forgotten world.As i enter the pub everyone once again gets quite,this little occurence could get real old real fast, and once again they start talking when they see im not looking for some one.But instead of heading to the bar this time I head for a large group of people in the middle of the pub.On my way to the group I flag down a waiter and order a golden ale.When I get to the group I find out it is a meeting for a clan called WWI. Among the people gathered are people whose name tags say their names are, zorander, Wikdangl, and lilrugby.These people seem to know what they are doing maybe they can help me with my unwanted troubles.

the first person i talked to was Zorander becuase he seemed t be in charge.when Iasked him if he could help me he said "sorry cant chat now."So I then asked lilrugby and he said he couldn't talk at the moment becuase he was planning a massive jump operation so i then i asked wikdangl if she could help me and she said "sure what do you need ptolmey+?"I told her that I had no memory of who i was and asked if she could help me find out why i was slain.She started out by telling me what Grimm already had and also that I would kill anyone one for the right amount of cash.At this last comment i thought to myself that probably helps explain why i was slain. She then told me that the only way I could fully find out who i was, was to emerse myself in the gossip and tales of byrendell a town south-west of coradale. I then thanked her for the help she gave me and then totalled my known town count........ adding byrendell I now had three towns.After i had set off for byrendell I ran into another person.When i said "hi" the person lunged out with their sword trying to attack me,I easily sidestepped his attack,for he was clusmy and inexperienced,and used my mace to hit the wrist of his sword arm.When the mace connected you could hear his wrist shatter beneath it, he dropped his sword and clutched his wrist in pure agony. when i asked him why he attacked me he laughed and said"dont play games with me you scum,i know you remember every one of your hits." I then said"i'm sorry but but i don't remember you or anyone for that matter, becuase i was slain and lost all of my memories." after i said that he laughed once more and said"dont give me your sob stories you useless bottom feeder"and spit on my cloak naturally being angered from being spit on and all of the name calling.So I summoned forth a bolt of lighting and killed him were he stood.Afterward feeling the rush i got from killing him I knew why i had become a mercenary.I then continued onto byrendell and when I got there I went to the local inn to sleep for the night.I would continue my search in the morning.

I awake to the sound of someone knocking on my door.When i open the door i find someone standing there in silver armor with a dragon emblem on each piece, the sword in his right hand also carries this emblem but seems to be a darker crimson color from dried blood.Believing I was about to be attacked I immediantly drew all my magical ability into my hands and prepared to defend myself. The warrior must have sensed my unease, for he quickly lowered his sword and said "I'm not here to hurt you." still thinking it might be a trap I lessened the power coursing through my hands, i then said "then what do you want?" He replied"my employer heard you where in town and would like to meet you by the fountain at noon" With that said he marched off before i could reply.being curios as who his employer was I set off for the fountain at the appointed hour.When i got there I noticed one man standing by himself, i knew this was who i came here to meet when he hollered "Hello Ptolmey+." When everyone looked towards me at the mention of my name I made a mental note to change it or atleast get rid of the + sign.as I walked toward him he said "where have you been? You said you'd be back in a day and that was three days ago.'' I told him "sorry fellow but i dont remember who you are or why you wanted mefor while i was going to where ever it was i was going i was slain and have lost all my memories." he said "oh dear this is very untimely, so i suspose you wont be willing to carrry out that assassasation for me?'' I told him "no i shall not be doing any mercenary work until I fully remember who I was." Hearing this he turned ghost white and muttered something i couldnt hear and ran off.shocked by his sudden departure I stood there numbly for a few minutes.then gathering my wits about me i went back to the inn and paid for my room. I then went to the nearest training area and listened to what the warriors, mages, and archers there were gossiping about in between fights. what i gathered was that all the serious fighters were heading west to a town called slyythra and that they were planning a massive assualt on a place called "the Tree". so i decided to follow the next group of warriors heading there and see if i could earn anything ''new'' about myself.
