Tercero—For Greed and Glory, for Vengeance

[Senshi]

It has been many years since the first of the Fireblooded Temple bore their fangs against the denizens of Esshar. From the likes of Orodyn Vartuul, to his now late wife Duniya, the Coat has seen many changes that have left it lacking in its former identity. No longer do those of Theria beyond the temple's reach commune with their link to the outside world. No longer does the whispers of Garljing, the dragon who reforged one of the greatest blades known in the region serve to instill fire and passion within the hearts of his worshipers, for perhaps within his eye, he is able to see what his people have become.

But there is yet hope, and it blooms within a younger generation. A young warrior stands tall, hair as midnight, eyes shaded the very fire that he commands. Headstrong and bold with his actions, he speaks out against those of the Fireblooded Temple now. This was no longer a young man with a vendetta against the adults.

He was an enemy now.

"This is not the place it once was.

What was once a bastion that adhered to the will of the dragons, now serves as a stinking cesspit of cowardice and pacifists.

What was once a proud mountaintop where warriors that forged their names by opposing the fear in their hearts to tear out the enemies of their throats, now serves as a pitiful refugee camp for the filth of the mire that have now lost their homes.

Those who would durst to call themselves Fireblooded now bastardize and squander hundreds of years of our people's culture. These are not men and women that oppose any and all. Not men and women who seek to claim Esshar for themselves. They're shuddering bilge roaches who have poisoned the minds of those younger than them with transient immoralities with nothing to stand on.

You've turned a once proud home for Drakanites into something ugly.

My name is Jesekiel Irdyn, first of my name. In five years, by the will of those before me, under the eyes of Naysien, and her father Garljing—I will come for this temple, and I will kill every man and woman who would forsake everything that my ancestors have stood for, for I am a descendant of warriors who have laid countless villages low and slain kings and queens.

This, I swear."
