I, Derek Silverhand, now stand on the eve of a great war. The city of Darkwood will soon be under attack from an evil being named Torque. The sages say he is from a distant plane where evil runs deep. No matter, I have a duty as Captain of the Guard. I must wage war against the foul creatures that will soon be at our gates and face Torque in mortal combat. I will be one of many outside the gates fighting for Darkwood. I only hope that my strength and faith are enough to save our city from the hellish fates that await should we fail.
