The Ancient

Legend of the Ancient
There is a legend of a great beast of incredible strength and malevolence that is as old as the continents. It is only spoken of in whispers by scholars searching for arcane knowledge who inevitably learn of the legend which is used by some as a lesson that there are powers that mortals are not meant to wield. The beast was of a great size and boasted an intellect greater than that of the very scholars researching him. Only one piece of evidence exists to suggest his existence is more than a fabrication; a small clearing located on Karas that radiates magic on a scale that is impossible considering how difficult it is to find it. Those who have found the clearing have spoken of a boulder with words carved into it with great claws that tells of the beginning of Karas. Few have found the clearing and all who have spoken of that boulder went missing, perhaps there is more to this than purely myth?
