Chapter 37 - The Dawn of Antiquity: The Arrival of the Dark God - Chapter Thirty-Seven

The Warden of the dungeon waited for us. Hieron ran this hall of monsters. People that Master Solus has experimented on. He'd brought the wealth of knowledge from his homeworld to Illonteria. By doing this, he'd grown in power, rivaling the birthrights of native nobles. Almithara and I were unaware for certain of his actual age. As we all know, he predates the Oromanian Kingdom and the Gormarian Empire by more than a millennium. No one under his influence questioned him. In the end, those who did, vanished, never to be seen again. As for our orders, the lot expected was a group of beast-men. Savage monsters that merged magic, alchemy, and science to create human-like creatures of immense power. Not even the mighty Orcs or Trolls could stand against these horrid monstrosities.
