> to return the favor of a mighty Shokite warrior who had rescued his father

> father were forever indebted to the Shokite and after many years of life

> who was an old, tough bastard-warrior Dwarf named *******.
> Born on the Day of Freedom, one priest declared that ***** was a holy

> the young Dwarf and after observing him for awhile, one of the priests
> ,named ******, saw it necessary to train ***** in the arts of war if he
> was to be any good in his foretold life of liberation. ****** was a very old
> warrior and was very skilled in the arts of fighting. At night, *****
> trained ***** in the cold and dark of the mountains, no matter snow,
> rain, or fierce wind. Soon, the day came when ***** was very tough
> and as skilled as (priest) and (priest) felt it was time for him to embark
> on his quest of liberating the light through Destruction of the dark. None
> of the other priests of the Temple of Khizar-Bulan ever found out about
> *******’s relationship with (priest), and so, upon *****’s request to
> leave the temple and seek the shrine of his Lord, they allowed him. Little
> did they know he would only leave the white marble steps of the great
> temple on a quest from which he would never return….
