On the field of battle, many years ago. A warrior rose above the rest and slaughtered many foes. His prowess on the field caught the eye of those who we call fiends. In their screams the dragons cried, Hsagra will save us all! Oh they were so foolish, as Porlos was her downfall. His mighty axe he did raise, and as it fell so did she, the white one who would try to save them all. Upon her skull he did sit and claim it as his throne.
For the slaying of his mate the old one named
Yelinak chose Porlos for his prey. Many generations have passed and the ancestors of
Porlos are hunted to this day.
