The Old Ones

Near the ruins of the old church children, dressed only in rags,huddle by the campfire for warmth.

"Tell us of the Old Ones again father," begs a small child who is shivering.

"I will my children." He is a good father and knows he has little else to give his children , but the tales of a better time.

The children huddle closer to listen to the tale.

"Tristram was a ruined and disheveled town when the Elders came. Shakkan, the mighty rogue,and the great mages Mystis, Aelric, and Draconias banded together to wage war against the evil which lurks beneath our ruined church. This great team fought many battles and soon discovered the enormity of the situation."

"I grow weary of constant battles." Shakkan said.

"We need the resources of a true army to win this fight. Go into the surrounding areas and recruit valiant heroes to help us in our cause.Together we shall construct a Guild of heroes and save Tristram from the evil that lurks in the deepest recesses of the church."

"So Aelric, Draconias, and Mystis scoured the countryside and brought brave warriors, rogues and mages to join The Knights Of the Forgotten Order. Soon the Elders became great statesmen and helped guide the guild to greatness. In the depths of hell, screams echo from the souls of fallen heroes. And , with their dying breath, they say "The Forgotten Order will triumph!!!"

"I must believe that, in the end, The Forgotten Order will banish Diablo and his evil horde from our town," the father says.

"Father, do you think that I am worthy to be a Knight of the Forgotten Order?" his son asked.

"It would make me proud if you were." the father named Farnham said..
