- Zobek: What motivates a man to confront the challenges that most of us would run from? Condemning him to solitude, exposing him to defeat and death? The Answer... is Love. A force so powerful that all reason becomes blind to it. Blind to all things... even the truth. Loss of love can make a man desperate... desperate enough to do anything to bury the truth, to hide from its pain.

- Zobek: A storm is coming. Mankind faces ruin and despair. The world is changing, yet hope remains in the hearts of the people. We go about our daily lives never knowing the forces than can change our destinies forever; we are oblivious, ignorant like sheep to the slaughter. This night in the year of our Lord 1047, marks the beginning of our journey together; a journey into darkness, into madness. I watch him from the shadows. Is he the one? He has come far already but he will be tested; tested to the very limits of human endurance... and beyond. This night he rides looking for the old gods, armed with an amulet that has led him here; tonight he will begin his journey into oblivion.
