ASSASSIN’S PRAYERBOOK

What’s good everyone? Back again with some more Aurora Mortis backstory. Erdinus has escaped danger at every corner, which has now led him to the Assassin’s Prayerbook.

“The door to one of the many cells hung ajar, and Erdinus stopped for a quick inspection. Inside he found a black cloak, not unlike the one worn by the figure he’d spotted in Dirnwich, along with a book. He leafed through the old worn tome, which held several incantations in a language he didn’t recognize. Just as he was deciding to take the ancient book with him, a pair of hunched guards approached Erdinus, waving torches and inquiring about the curious amulet at his neck.

He turned to flee, but the damned hobgoblins were already on him, overpowering him in his beaten state. They shackled him to an angled slab of stone, flanked by all manner of barbarous instruments, and proceeded to torture him. Where had the Duskheart come from? And who’d sent him here? How they ached to know. But Athelard bled a great deal to preserve whatever secrets he could. He thought only of his hope of seeing the sun again.”

Peace,
