Don't know if this is even alive anymore, but I'm interested regardless.

-Biography: Ser Derek has spent the better part of his life away from the Kingdom of Malenia, his service as a knight spent on distant battlefields. From one war to the next, his hands have become stained with blood, his body worn and scarred from countless skirmishes. He is no stranger to the brutality of battle, having fought for years in foreign lands, far from the royal court, fighting alongside men who had also become hardened by the same unforgiving realities of war. War had shaped him, hardened him, but it had never prepared him for the kind of terror that awaited him back in Rodos.

When the summons came, Derek had been deep in a foreign campaign, with little word from the Kingdom. The Queen’s call to return, however, was answered swiftly and without hesitation. The cursed, an outbreak of some kind of plague, had ravaged the Province of Rodos, and the Queen had ordered the land sealed away. Word of a possible cure had reached her court, and Derek, along with a handful of other knights, was summoned to investigate, tasked with rescuing the scholar, Galla Mornis, who had volunteered to seek this cure and had recently disappeared. Despite the grim nature of the mission, it was an order, and Derek had long since learned to follow his duty.

Now, back within his homeland, Derek faces a new challenge. The horrors of war had been one thing but this land of the cursed, whatever this plague may be, was another. There is no glory here, no honor to be gained, only the quest, find Galla, and bring her back alive. But as he prepares to venture into the forsaken province, Derek knows this would be unlike any battle he had ever fought.
