Ge'alk's Marauders

Back to Mercenaries

"This is only the Beginning."  These were the words that my tormentors used when I was first bought by the slavers.  For thirty days, I hung in a squalid sewer of a pit suspended by chains.  Five times a day, my overlord would come by and "teach" me the value of cooperation.  Through the pain, I learned much.  Through the hatred, I remembered well.  On the last day of my torment.  My Lord came into the pit and bade me swear fealty to him.  I heard a voice not my own issue forth from my body.  I heard in horror and revulsion the words that would bind me into slavery.  I heard myself beg for his favor that day.  Here I learned the value of pain.
