Story

Mahir doesn't like to dwell on the past. Many years ago, he had everything many could only dream of: a family, wealth, a high-ranking position... Yet none of it brought him happiness or joy. Surrounded by luxury and worldly indulgences, Mahir was consumed by a growing sense of emptiness, with a single question lingering on his mind; was it everything there is to life?

One fateful night, a vagrant knocked at the gates of his estate, seeking shelter. The stranger spoke to Mahir of many things: of Unity with the Host-Dair, who welcome the righteous after death, of Truth, the discovery of which is preceded by a long and arduous Path, and of community of wandering dervish monks, who interpret the Path as literal journey - a quest to travel the entire world and master as many crafts as possible. For how else can one comprehend Truth without experiencing countless different fates?

The next morning, when the servants came to wake their master, they found empty bed - Mahir had taken only what he needed for the road and set out to follow his new teacher. Together, they roamed half the known world, enduring countless trials, until the Path brought them to Aldor. Here, their ways parted: upon seeing the war-ravaged kingdom, Mahir decided to become mercenary, seeking to experience the dangers and struggles of such a life firsthand...
