The Oracle of Malcontent

"You will be the balance to life, the bringer of difficult times to those who require strengthening, the final word in relieving the world of the pain of life and failure"

It's been forty years since the last Choosing in the world of Azarth. After years living as a poor farmer's son, Pthorn leaves his home, destined to be one of Assier's Chosen Four to cross the seas and discover the truth known only to a select few.

The truth is far different than that believed by the rest of Azarth and, under the guidance of the Oracle of Malcontent, Pthorn leaves as a boy and becomes an unlikely scholar. He emerges as one of the most powerful figures in Azarth with abilities and knowledge beyond his wildest imagination.

Will he use this power for good when he ventures out into the world, or will good intentions and poor decisions lead to devastating consequences?
