The portal closed and I stood in a new world. Moments before, I had known why I had come, who I was and what my abilities were. But after the portal closed, everything was gone. Only one thing was sure - I had an important task! Well, I first looked around. Obviously I had arrived in a temple and this temple was very similar to another one...which other temple actually? Slowly old memories came back in fragments. Unfortunately, I had to realize that the arcane structure of this land was completely different from that of my homeland. So I had to start from scratch...
I stepped out of the temple and looked around. There always seemed to be a few people at a crossroads. I gave a friendly greeting and was promptly engaged in conversation with Uruaa and Gadan. They told me that fear and terror ruled the land (Dura I guess it was called). When I asked them, they could not tell me who officially ruled the country, they did not even know if there had ever been a king. Gadan, who is himself a member of an association called "Nighthawks", first showed me the depot - a place where you can safely store your treasures, he said.
There I also met Brin, the dragon slayer, who, as I was to learn later, is the leader of the Paladins of Darkness. He told me about the possibilities of this land - of guilds and professions. After I found a source of information, called "the forum", I used it and was surprised how many people had helpful hints.
I decided for the time being not to join a guild and also for the time being not to take up a profession but first to explore the country and its inhabitants...Â
