HERALDS CAMPAIGN
Morgoht Abalast
Morgoht 'The School Teacher' was a Herald of LNTR, and the greatest warrior of his generation, only later surpassed by Lumen Bors and the Violate King. He is assumed dead after the Defence of Torrens, in battle against the Violate King.
Morgoht is a wisened old man, dressed in thick dark robes and a turban. Despite his appearance, he is as nimble as someone less than half his age, and has the strength of roots deep beneath the earth.
Having lived as both a student and master to a range of people, and experienced many cultures across Noth, Morgoht is also considered the wisest Herald alive. While shrewd and often assertive, Morgoht is never aloof or distant with others.
Born to a peddlers lot in the crowded city of Gamat, Morgoht was one of the few Heralds to have lived in both Arath and Enaeth.
When he came of age, Morgoht was quick to join the standing garrisons on the northern coast, as part of the 'Sentinelium Agreement' with Vesparthe. Despite the soldiers pay, Morgoht found the posting boring, and abandoned the military altogether. Now a wandering vagrant, Morgoht happened upon a foreign mystic; a pureborn Ven, who had abandoned the Black Salons to learn more of the world. Bemused by the chance of their meeting, he taught Morgoht to fight with a range of strange and unusual weapons, and Morgoht found himself consumed by a new passion; to learn every form of martial combat.
Bidding farewell to the Vennish man, he traveled throughout all of Arath to learn. He met peoples all across the world; He gained access to the Gennish Enclaves, and learnt 'Kentent' a form of combat fought upsidedown, previously thought impossible for other races to learn, let alone master; He met with Astelleian war refugees, sheltering them and learning the ways of the Jian and Guan Dao; and he learnt of combat fought with stone sticks called 'Rattans' in the Southern Eridinea, a fighting style which would later inspire the dueling circles of Voltaine.
On the cusp of greatness, Morgoht sensed he had one last thing to master. Following whispers encountered in his meditations, Morgoht sought a style that no longer existed; and he found it.
Deep below the earth in North Arath, he found a shrine dedicated to the Outsider Gods. Killing its attendants, Morgoht found a weapon, one of the last relics of the foul false gods. With limited understanding of the markings on the foul spear, Morgoht took to calling it 'P4RA1AH'.
Following divine inspiration and memory not of his own, Morgoht unknowingly spent weeks practicing forms that no longer, or never existed with the weapon. After learning all he could, Morgoht realized he had ascended, having mastered every weapon and martial art in his 30 years.
Morgoht then spent the rest of his life sharing the gift given to him; he taught many individuals throughout Enaeth and Arath, including the Bors brothers and Rohktar ne Deios V.
Travelling from Voltaine, Morgoht joins other Heralds, answering the call of TAERA in their alliance against the Violate King.
