[3.0] The black monolith, a Dark Pact Story

"

'll tell you a story:
"Once upon a time there was a powerful magician, cruel and somber. It took many heroes to defeat him and imprison him on a rock. A monolith full of rancor and wickedness.
After centuries, a divine being appeared to have pitied him and told him:
'If you are released from your prison, can you kill the one who frees you?'
He said:
'With all pleasure!'
The deity went to Oriath and plotted his fall. He spoke of the black monolith and its power. The corrupt beings of Oriath, with their greed, turned the stone into Golem, hoping to overpower him. But that being had other plans.
Today I will tell you his ambitions..."
