Awaking to his kingdom in chaos the King found himself face to face with a growling, raving beast that had broken into his chambers and murdered his defenders. Valiantly King Charles drew his blade that was forged by the greatest smiths in the kingdom and blessed by the leader of the church. With a single strike from his sword he felled the beast. Laying on the ground the beast shrank, its fur falling away and its body reshaping itself into what resembled a young man, a young man once familiar to King Charles Delair Terre.

His son lay in front of him motionless, killed by his fathers hand, with the sigil of the 'cult' engraved on his body. That night the full moon stained red with the blood of the beasts King Charles slew. On that fateful night the kind swore that he would do everything in his power to eradicate this scourge that had infected his land, slaughtered his people, and brought terror to his land. On that night, the ever-raging war on the lycanthropes began.

Falyimoar (Fah-uhl-yi-mor) is one of 5 continents that populate the planet Astea and is commonly referred to as Burgdalin by the citizens of the Empire and some neighboring territories. Falyimoar is waterlocked on all sides with only small islands surrounding it. Legend tells of distance wildlands beyond the shores or Falyimoar with untold magics and riches to be found.

Many sailor and soldiers alike have attempted to brave the oceans surrounding the continent, but those that have survived leaving the safety of the shores tell of great storms and monsters in the deep, just waiting for them to approach before sucking their ship down to the bottom of the ocean, leaving hardly a ripple in the water. As if the ship had never been their at all.

What would one day in the distant future become the cult of the blind sun was formed by the firstborn son of King Charles Delair Terre, Crown Prince Egret Delair Falym. What began as a young prince rebelling against his fathers tyrannical ways soon became a fight for freedom and the protection of wilds.

After witnessing the beheading of his closest friend and squire on counts of sorcery and treason against the state by direct order of his father. Egret fled the kingdom and abandoned his title as the crown prince. Following the roads leading away from the capital. Half starved and soon to collapse of dehydration the young prince found refuge in a small town in the south-western woods of Falyimoar. Scheirenstein, a small mining town, unknown to the prince.

As the sun was reaching its rest, the young prince stumbled his way out from the woods, and up to the front of the town. Looking worse for wear from his arduous trek through the wilderness, the town guards brandished their weapons towards this unknown traveler, ordering him to approach they see the royal insignia emblazoned upon his cloak and immediately rush help him.

Identifying Egret as a part of the royal court the guards started taking him directly to the Lord of Scheirenstein. Realizing that knowledge of his disappearance could have already reached this town and he could be taken back to the capital, he refused to accompany them, much to their disapproval and told them he would visit the Lord in the morning, before departing they gave him a map of the surrounding area and pointed his way to the town inn. Telling him to stay clear of any areas marked with a bone or jagged stone.

Departing from the guards Egret thanked them for their help and once out of sight, quickly took his cloak and turned it inside out, so as to hide the insignia and keep his identity as secret as he could. Having made his way to the inn just after dusk, entering the crowded Egret was immediately hit with the sounds of half deaf miners sharing a meal after a long days work.

Exhausted himself from days of travel with little to no food and his only water being from creeks and small streams that were far from potable. Egret couldn't help himself from letting his guard down ordering far too much food for himself and drinking well past his limits. He couldn't remember quite how he had came to be in a room, but a just a few hours past sunrise he awoke to the sounds of horses totting on cobblestones and the unintelligible sounds of several men shouting over each other coming from outside his window.

Dismissing the thought Egret decided he should get some food, and that he should assess his situation, and figure out what he was going to do from here. Worried that his father would send soldiers out to search for him, he decided that he should look around Scheirenstein, purchase supplies, and potentially skip town, and given that the Lord of Scheirenstein had likely been alerted to the presence of a member of the Royal Court visiting this town, he wouldn't have long in this town before going the risk of being identified and captured.
