After he conquered the seven kingdoms, Tythos set the people free. They set the kingdoms on fire. So he gave up the throne to a “hero” who rose up and struck down the “dark lord”, so he could retire and let the evil die with him.  Ten years later, the “hero” comes to him with a quest: save the kingdoms. Still unwilling to watch people burn, Tythos set out to once again save an ungrateful world, whether they want to be saved or not.
