Synopsis
Sword Lord (newly Masterclassed Prestige Lvl 51 Warrior/Conquerer/King) has the world at his fingertips and his greatest foe at his feet.
He spent decades training under the stern tutelage of Archmage Fendescro (Lvl 40 contentabration specialist Thaumaturgist/Lvl 5 Battle Mage multiarcanist), groomed for great deeds as foretold in the Grimoire of Al-ab'ad-al-as'ad (A Greater Tome of Soothsaying +10, requiring at least a 15 in Arcane Vision sub-skill proficiency). Sword Lord, just a young man still (level 5 Warrior with a newly acquired Trained-Feat in Combat Leadership), led the Berserkers of Bronandyl in their doomed crusade headlong into the gates of Ganentar, putting every goblinoid and their spawn to sword or flame (netting as much as 20,000 CXP, 1400 TacProf Pts, 12 Regional Reputation, and 1542 GP). As a man, he dueled Jjon-ti the Myrmidon (Lvl 9 Bounty Hunter/Lvl 1 Trickster (Acrobatic Focus)) in the gold-leafed streets of Calshamoon and, dicing the mercenary baron's body in twain, won the heart of the Viscount Priestess Tittiana (awarding him 32,000 NCXP, and a permanent increase to Comeliness, as well as free access to the Powerful Lover daily power).
He led legions of righteous Sendelfen Nihangs in the quest to recover the Hauberk of Hax'i (Lvl 25 Chainmail, Req. 100 STR, gain 20 Intimidation, Hellfire Resistance 30%, Magic Resistance 1-12), rallied the slavehold dwarfen miners of Shuush in the crimson revolt and reclamation of their ancestral homeland (admittedly a RP quest to solidify his relationship with the Dwarflords and gain access to their +125 Acc. Ancient-Fire Forge), and he tamed the Beast of Galador (Lvl 30 Gargantuan Class beast, natural resistances to fire and coldsteel, weakness to Holy Song invocation spells) before the Druidic Wiltshirian Council, and all the while he kept close in his heart the secret fire of revenge (in total netting him 150,000 CXP, 75,000 NCXP, 25,000 XP, access to the +125 Acc. Ancient-Fire Forge of the Dwarflords, and 1,250,600 GP). One day he would acquire, borrow, or steal the sacred magics and keen armaments powerful enough to fight his way to the lowest vistas of the Under Hells (at least Lvl 40 enchantments and Lvl 30 Transposition spells, coupled with Divined or Natural Boons of no less than Lvl 40). One day he would lock swords with the Prince of Paupers, the Demon King himself, and he would avenge the wailing ghost of his late, great father (and in doing so complete his Generation Goal, netting him maximum XP reward and access to the Masterclass Prestige Lvl for his chosen class, duoclass, or triclass).
That day was today. And as the fates of the Grimoire would have it, even in death, the Demon King had machinations of his own to settle their score.
The Necklace of Naganisool (Lvl 45 Cursed Artifact, for Greater Underhell Tier Creatures functions as +30 Amulet of Lesser Foresight & Restitution, otherwise functions as an +50 Amulet of Progress Reversal) an unassuming trinket with the wicked power to undo an entire man's life...or perhaps complete it?
