The Tale Of The Skeleton Messenger

About The Tale Of The Skeleton Messenger

One hundred and twenty years after the death of the First Emperor, his former messenger Benrira awakens to a changed world. Long before falling into this century-spanning slumber, Benrira fought alongside the hero's party and served as the trusted voice of the throne. Now, the era that Benrira once knew and bled for has passed into distant memory, leaving the awakened warrior alone in an unfamiliar age. In the wake of the First Emperor's passing, the motherland that Benrira once loyally served has grown thoroughly corrupt. Rather than preserving the realm built by its founder, the homeland has rotted from within over the generations that followed. Its decay reaches directly into Benrira's life, turning the nation Benrira once protected into the source of a bitter personal loss. At the hands of this corrupt motherland, Benrira loses a beloved disciple. The death severs whatever quiet restraint remained after more than a century away from the affairs of the realm. Confronted by the cruelty of the country that took a cherished student's life, the former companion of the hero refuses to remain silent. Grief and resolve drive Benrira to take up the mantle of the Emperor's Messenger once again. Bound by duty to a long-dead ruler and pushed forward by the loss of a treasured pupil, Benrira makes a solemn vow. An unfinished task still lingers from the age of the First Emperor, and the time has come to see it carried out. Benrira sets forth to deliver the Emperor's final message to the corrupt land that remains. Stepping forward in the name of the ruler who passed away a hundred and twenty years prior, the messenger calls upon the world to listen. Declaring the title of the Emperor's Messenger, Benrira prepares to make everyone hear the will of the First Emperor.
