Rezyl Azzir: Before These Walls

Thanks to a grimoire database, I've gained access to this new card: [quote]Rezyl Azzir was a man. In time his kind would be called Titan. Mountains of muscle and might and metal. His collar was fur and teeth. His person clad in ornate, golden-etched plating, trophies upon his shoulders. This was before the City was The City. This is before the walls. Still in the shadow of the fragile giant above, but before. Salvation seekers came — survivors; weary remnants of a people on the brink. These were the days before reason took hold. Before study was merged with belief. The giant was looked to as one would a God. Maybe it still is. Factions grew from the huddled masses. Like minds coming together to provide support, comfort. Over time these loyalties demanded loyalty. Differences that used to inform — viewpoints that when joined granted a larger understanding of the whole — became points of conflict. The sanctuary became divided. The shadow of Light grew darker. This, humanity’s last oasis, slowly fading to a mirage. Great, powerful men and women, The Risen, stood at the Factions’ sides. Protection. Enforcers. Misused possibility. Misery crept into this false paradise. Yet hope lingered. Seeing the cracks in this society born beneath the giant’s fractured shell, some among The Risen challenged the dissolution of all that could be. They would no longer serve as instruments of oppression. They would be more. Thus began an unnecessary war made necessary by greed, ambition... fear. And, in the chaos of this struggle, came the scavengers — aliens with appetites. A common enemy. In the end, the scavengers were repelled and the Factions fell, their grip broken, though their beliefs remained. This was the earliest days of the Guardians, when might found purpose. Prosperity was in reach. Rezyl had been a champion of these wars. A leader. Against the alien pirates he had been more. If the giant wasn’t a God, then maybe Rezyl was. As the first walls formed — built of hard work and sacrifice — Rezyl and the Guardians stood against the alien plunderers time and again. More survivors arrived. More warriors. The Guardian ranks swelled. The City grew. Hope blossomed. To Rezyl it was a currency. Hope bought tomorrow. Tomorrow bought the effort needed to survive today. Yet Rezyl grew weary. Stories haunted his nights. Old stories. Those no longer told. Those locked behind tight lips for fear of what they may invoke. Whenever the sun dropped below the horizon and the moon rose high, Rezyl’s thoughts wandered. How safe was safe? How long could they fight with the Darkness still writhing? So, every day Rezyl would fight and build and protect. And every day a city grew beneath the giant. And every night he would think about all that was never said and stare intently at the moon above.[/quote] First thoughts: awesome! This is a legend about Rezyl Azzir, one of the first Titans, the Wall-builders. But something stroke me as odd as I was reading this. When I got to the end, I sat back in shock, not believing the connections that were forming in my mind. Take a look at some key phrases: [quote][b]Hope blossomed. To Rezyl it was a currency.[/b] Hope bought tomorrow. Tomorrow bought the effort needed to survive today. [b]Yet Rezyl grew weary. Stories haunted his nights. Old stories.[/b] Those no longer told.

[b]And every night he would think about all that was never said and stare intently at the moon above.[/b][/quote] Now, who does this sound like? You're probably thinking the same thing I was right about know. You're probably also thinking that I've finally relinquished my last bit of sanity. Dredgen Yor a Titan!? No way! He's a Hunter (or maybe a Warlock)! I know, it sounds crazy. But there's no denying that Rezyl Azzir's doubt and outlook on the post-Collapse world is very similar to Dredgen Yor's.
