Volume 2: Arveldhiin the Wanderer
According to a little, yellowed chapbook, in Dark Valley the Grimm resides. The following segment could be secured from the rotten booklet:
Deep down, in Dark Valley,
a man of boundless sorrow
paces back and forth, evermore.
Salvation is his objective.
For long he's craved the last voyage,
the Eternal Paths to come,
but refused they are to him.
He longs for exemption.
His inner monster rages and howls,
while he digs his own grave,
Since long ago it has claimed possession
and stalls his dead.
Now he lurks for valiant fighters,
to bring an end to his agony.
But every weapon failed
on the black pelt of the Grimm.
The white of his eyes dazzling,
seems frightened when aflame,
so is the monster's only weakness,
the blazing flame to flesh.
His earlier life long forgotten,
his deeds, his name.
The penance ordained by Malphas righteous,
as he [...]
The ink of the last lines has dissolved due to exposure to moisture and the paper decaying. Who or what exactly the text is concerning therefore remains uncertain, but it seems this creature's human cast was inflicted with something bestial. Stories about the criminal Arveldhiin show remarkable similarities.
Centuries-old legends report about the infamous murderer named "Arveldhiin without scruple", who is believed to have committed countless murders in Dark Valley. Not even high-ranking members of the Order were excepted. Once Arveldhiin was stalking a trader caravan in the Dark Valley. The murderer's gang created a bloodbath in which nobody was spared; even children were counted among the dead. Malphas himself exacted punishment on Arveldhiin: his Pathless character would taint him for all time. The Lord merged the murderer without scruple with a grotesque, wolf-like monstrosity, condemning the man to wage constant battle in his own mind, lest the monster broke out and took control. Like a rabid wolf, Arveldhiin was overcome by a wild and animalistic mentality, which he had to fight to resist with his last humanity ever since.
