Chapter 47: Lone temple(1)
[The legend of the accursed king]
Long ago, long before the end of the kings that once ruled on ehetria there was a king, a king that defied the gods, a legendary ruler that always won, he won with an army and often without it, the strongest ehetrian in mythology, at least as far as Cades knew, but he wasn't especially knowledgeable in this, the legend of the accursed king was quite literally used as a children story when they wouldn't behave.
Wameshindwa ruled over three of the five continents that separated ehetria, according to the legend he was above the lord-rank, at least, the rank he was at exactly was neither named or even mentioned in the story at all, but that didn't matter much.
King Wameshindwa had been on a crusade against the gods, he had slain and executed most of the religious fanatics that had poisoned the ehetrian society back when he was on that very same crusade, within just a few weeks.
One might find that cruel but many ehetrians agreed with the decision, albeit only after a few centuries, the people of the time were just too terrified that they would be next or that he would lose control over himself.
Ehetria was poisoned with many followers of evil gods back then, they tortured innocents, they killed countless and did many other things that were barely ever mentioned as this was just a children story, though there was probably a list somewhere in a library, if ehetria hadn't been completely burned already.
The king took care of that problem, he killed them and people celebrated, after that however legend says he didn't do his duties anymore, legend says he continued battling against all, so much so that there was no religion on ehetria during the time that Cades lived there, and in all likelihood for all of eternity after what had happened not too long ago.
At the height of his countless heroes from various different worlds tried to defeat him, at first a single hero appeared, then a dozen appeared, then a hundred tried to rip him apart at once, then an army of heroes appeared and tried to finally defeat him, but they all failed.
Until a burning skeleton appeared out of nowhere and entered the Castel and after that the king was never seen again.
