One day a group of adventurers was once again fighting goblins outside the East
gates of City of Nexus. The battle was going well, several Firegiants and
Warlords were already dead, when someone noticed some strange movements in the
nearby bushes. Moments later, a young man, bleeding freely, crawled out of Eldane
forest, trying to ask for help. One of the group's clerics used her special
abilities to heal the stranger, who immediately engaged in battle against goblins
with a fury never seen before. He did not use any weapons, just his bare hands,
but the goblins were dropping dead one after another from his hits. 

After the battle was over, the adventurers looked at the stranger, wondering who
he might be. He said that his name was Muaddib and asked them where he was. He
was told that he was standing by the walls of Nexus, city of all Races. After
Muaddib heard the name of the city he kneeled and prayed. "Thank you, My Love,
for guiding me to the right place.", he said. 

The adventurers finished the battle, clearing the Processional way from goblin
troops and proceeded back inside the city walls to rest and prepare for another
battle. While sitting in Trista's tavern, the adventurers started talking to
Muaddib, asking him about his past and where he came from. Muaddib sat back,
rubbing his sore fists, and started his story: 

"I lived in a desert all my life. I was a member of a small tribe that lived in
the desert. We were proud warriors, fearless in battle....we were..until those
monsters came. They looked almost like those I saw you fighting. Just bigger. All
my people were killed in that bloody battle. We did not even get a chance to come
close enough to those things to fight them. What a bunch of afraid animals they
were. And my wife, my beautiful wife..." 

His voice went down to whisper, tears coming down his face, as his hand was
holding a small heart-shaped amulet, made of some metal, that looked like
platinum. But seconds later he gained complete control over his feelings and
continued: 

"Only me and my brother escaped. We did not know what to do, but we had heard old
people in our tribe talking about some large city located far away west of our
lands, so we decided to go west. For that we had to cross the desert which we
lived in, but nobody had ever done it before. We walked across the desert for
days, with no food or water. We were ready to give up, but we saw a water surface
far away on the horizon. That was the most beautiful sight i have ever seen.  As
we came closer, we realized there was no way across, because the bridge over the
river was destroyed. Green-blue waters were moving so fast, we did not know if we
could get across as neither of us could swim. We had to go and find some small
trees, break them down with our bare hands and make something like a boat. As we
tried to cross the river, our boat started filling up with water and soon turned
upside down. I tried to save my brother, but he went under water so fast, that i
could not help him. I managed to drag myself out of the water and fell asleep
right there, on the bank of the river. 

I woke up because I heard people talking nearby. I was in a small house, in bed. 
As soon as I was able to walk, I continued my trip to the city to the west,
which, as I found out was called Nexus. I was warned that roads were taken over
by some race called goblins, who did not let anyone through without killing them.
So I walked across the plains until I saw forest to the north. I started walking
towards it, but I had to cross the road, and that is when I was seen by goblins.
I tried running away, and managed to dive into bushes before they could kill me. 
Then I heard some voices, and sounds of battle. That is when I found you. 

I dont know what to do. I have no place to go. I have nobody. What should I do?" 

The adventurers looked at each other. "You were good at fighting, but you have to
learn our ways, ways of Nexus. If you want to stay here, you have to go to
Falcion, small town on the island. All our young people live and train there. 
Once you are qualified to leave Falcion, you will come back to Nexus to live and
fight with us." 

And so, next day a young man, named Muaddib, entered the gates of Falcion.  As he
walked the streets, he looked up and saw shadows of huge creatures, flying up
high and heard the voice that said :" Welcome, Muaddib. Let
Falcion be your home".
