Lore[]
| Spoiler warning! This section contains plot details about the game. |
His life epitomized the fall from grace.
As a knight, he had once earned glory and honor, and people showered him with adulation.
But with each passing step in his climb to fame, he forgot.
The humility of his youth. The tireless effort that had made him a warrior.
His standing proved a fragile thing. A single lost battle was all it took.
Face total defeat, the knight had fled. His escape had been a narrow thing, but he made it home alive.
The same could not be said for those he left behind.
His reputation plummeted overnight, as if all his prior feats had never been.
Soon, he was a pariah, utterly ignored.
The knight had lost all he had, save on thing...
His arrogant pride.
Even in ignominy, he clung to his former glories with the desperation of a drowning man grasping at straws.
The tales of his exploits swelled from exaggeration to outright fantasy.
Among his favorite myths to tell was of the time he slew a giant.
It was as big as a mountain and strong as a hundred oxen, the story went, and its wounds healed almost instantly.
The gruesomeness of its appearance was rivaled only by the vileness of its stench.
The knight continued to lie to impress, and sometimes turned to physical intimidation to convince them.
He quickly learned his stories found more traction the further into the countryside he went.
There, more country bumpkins were available for exploitation.
He took up residence in one such quiet village.
There, he bullied and frightened his way to an easy, if still meager, life. His former reputation was the only thing separating him from a common scoundrel.
The villagers were terrorized. Unable to resist him alone, they hired a mercenary from a nearby city.
The towering sell sword stood before the braggart knight, his challenge clear.
The knight, in response, began to tell one of his tall tales in order to cow the mercenary.
"A bone-chilling tale," replied the sell sword. "If it were true."
His bluff called, the knight scrambled to his feet and fled, but the sell sword's blade found its mark. Slashed across the back, the liar fell to the ground.
That was when it appeared...
The braggart's darkening vision was filled with a white light.
Its source was a floating chalice. The vessel's words flowed into him.
"Tender the fee, and all your tales will be made truths."
The man accepted.
From the wound upon his back, a swollen growth emerged.
Larger and larger it grew, until it took shape as the upper body of a man.
A man near as big as a mountain, and strong as a hundred oxen.
A man whose wounds healed almost instantly.
Whose hideous visage was rivaled only by the putrescence of his stench.
Less a man, perhaps, than a giant.
The giant born of the knight's boasts and grown from his flesh then proceeded to raze the village to the ground.
Though vindicated now that his tales had become real, the disgraced knight never had the chance to gloat.
He had lost his humanity the instant he became host to the monstrous giant, and even now he stalks the countryside.
