During the autumn of 29 ADS, in the Kingdom of Syrani, of the Holy Empire of Alengard, I was born unto slavery. My mother was of the elves, and my father was of mankind. I never met my mother.
Elves and half-elves such as I were often taken as slaves, usually by the King, who runs hundreds of gold mines. I was a slave worker at one of these gold mines, just as my mother.
I heard tales of my mother from the other slaves, both good and bad. It would have been an honor to meet her.
My father, however, was a slave-master, and a Captain of the Royal Army. It was he, who, just as he gave life to me, ended the life of my mother.
I hated that man's guts, and ever since I was young, I waited for the chance that I might kill him. From the time I could lift a pickaxe, I worked myself halfway to death, every day. And when I tried to rest, I was beaten even closer to it.
That was a life no man could accept, and so, it came naturally that I tried to escape. And, that was the greatest mistake I had ever made.
I'd made it far, and because of this I felt free. Though I was not free, I was far from it.
As I rode fearlessly for the western horizon, I was surrounded by the royal soldiers. I tried to resist capture, but it was of no use. They threw me in the King's dungeon, and I was imprisoned once more.
I paced about in my cell, feeling only anger and hate. The only thing I could think of was revenge. I thought of escaping and killing my father, of killing the King, even. Though I knew that I was a fool to think myself capable of that.
I couldn't even escape the mine, much less the King's dungeon.
So I waited, and waited, and waited more. I waited for ten years.
And then I found my opportunity.
My name is Nathaniel, and this is the tale of my life.
