Sanibonani! Umlingo at your service. Who has the pleasure of meeting the future 'King of Knaves'? Krystallia holds many secrets and with secrecy comes hidden treasure. No, I'm not talking about mere gold, but magical amulets, weapons which are attuned to the elements, and other items that have been previously seen as myth. Unfortunately, in the search of one particular lore, I find myself captive by a beautiful, but intimidating, noblewoman of the Sumerki Elves. How can I rid myself of an enchanted tower? Alas, I must shake the hands of a Teufel and become indebted to a devil!

Umlingo the Rogue Warlock

The race is nigh. Fiskarinn begins to pull in the fishing lines. While grabbing the second rod, he notices a bleeding fish. With a deft hand, Fiskarinn removes the wriggling fish from its hook. Despite the loss of a catch, the fish is flung into the sea. 


"You don't have to tell me twice!" I shout in a panic. 


My gaze alternates from the shore to the figure darting towards the boat. Unfortunately, I am at a loss. 'Where did the creature go?' Before I can speak, there's a blow from beneath us! 


The boat breaks in half. Fiskarinn and I are flung in opposite directions. In the water, I panic. Soon I see the source of fear.


"Shark!" The dwarf’s voice is heard followed by the sound of crashing waves.
