His true origin shrouded in mysteries, the youth Jarik fled with his un-sister, Torsy, to the harsh land of the Iron Lords. There he was schooled in the mighty arts of war. And there, guided by invincible gods to fulfill his twin destinies of great healer and savage avenger, he claimed the devastating Black Sword that would carve his legend in blood...a legend of a vengeance-thirst as dark and merciless as the magic weapon he wielded...born from the seeds of a manchild's Terror, sown so long ago.
