Un peu plus de deux heures après sa confrontation avec les loups, Aglovale arriva finalement à destination : Oldenstead. Il a maintenant porté un manteau beige en lambeaux avec une capuche portée sur sa tête. C'était sa tentative de rester discret. Aglovale a également réussi à trouver un ruisseau plus tôt dans lequel laver le sang qui lui a câblé les mains. Le petit village d'Oldenstead était calme; tout le monde était enfermé dans ses maisons. Il a perplexe Aglovale de voir le village dans un tel état mais, à l'heure actuelle, il avait d'autres choses en tête. Bientôt, il s'approcha du bord du village où se trouvait une taverne. L'Aube Maiden - un établissement qui fonctionne depuis deux décennies et qui n'a été fondé que par le Seigneur Bright lui-même: Aglovale. Le même Aglovale qui se tient devant lui maintenant.
À l'intérieur de l'Aube Maiden, un homme au milieu des années soixante se tient derrière le bar pour nettoyer diverses tasses d'argent avec un chiffon humide. Les portes en bois de la taverne s'ouvrent soudainement et arrivent Aglovale. "Nous sommes fermés pour la nuit. Reviens demain matin." le barman a dit instinctivement droit comme il a entendu quelqu'un entrer. "Depuis quand cette ville est-elle si vide le soir?" Aglovale demanda alors qu'il s'approchait du comptoir du bar. Le barman s'est arrêté et l'a regardé de façon suspecte. "Certainement, vous plaisantez. Depuis que les morts ont commencé à revenir à la vie, tout le monde a été enfermé dans ses maisons la nuit. » Comme il l'a expliqué, l'entretien furtivement atteint pour un couteau sous le comptoir. "Tu n'essaies pas de tuer un vieil ami, Balin?" Aglovale a beaucoup demandé à la surprise de l'entretien de bar.
"Qui êtes-vous? Tu n'es pas assez vieux pour être un ami à moi." Balin a dit qu'il avait mis son couteau sur le comptoir tout en le saisissant. "Au contraire, j'ai quelques années sur vous si je me souviens bien. Maintenant, gardez-vous toujours le Caliburn dans le bureau arrière?" Aglovale a demandé à qui Balin a finalement réalisé à qui il parlait. "Vous ne pouvez pas... Aglovale...?" Balin a demandé avec hésitation. Après un certain temps, Balin était finalement convaincu que la personne à qui il parle est en fait Aglovale de la légende et de son vieil ami. "Vous êtes l'un d'eux..." Balin a dit gravement. "A 'risen', vous avez dit?" Aglovale a demandé. Balin a tout simplement hissé dans l'affirmation. "Avez-vous déjà ressenti le désir de tuer?" Balin a demandé. Au début, Aglovale était calme. "Oui, je l'ai fait. J'ai tué plusieurs loups en venant ici. Soyez assuré, Balin. Jusqu'à présent, ils semblent avoir étouffé mon effusion de sang."
"C'est vrai? D'habitude, il faut la mort d'un humain pour satisfaire la soif de sang d'un ressuscité. » Balin a répondu par suspicion à la déclaration d'Aglovale. "Je sais que tu ne peux pas me faire confiance, mais tu n'as pas d'autre choix. J'ai besoin de savoir où je peux aller pour en savoir plus sur cette "plague de sang"." Aglovale a déclaré. Les soupirs de Balin. "Malheureusement, je suis impuissante à t'arrêter. Si vous voulez vraiment en savoir plus sur la peste du sang, cherchez la cathédrale de Pendragahst. Outre les archiprêtres du Palais du Matin lui-même, les archiprêtres de Pendragahst auront le plus d'informations sur la peste du Sang."
"Merci." Aglovale dit qu'il se lève. "J'ai besoin du Caliburn."
-- Ai-je le choix en la matière? Balin a demandé.
"Pas vraiment." Aglovale répondit.
Un peu plus tard, Aglovale a récupéré les Caliburn de Balin ainsi qu'un changement de vêtements. "Et Wrathbone. Qu'en est-il de cette épée maintenant?"
«Vendu à la Fraternité des armes comme vous l'avez demandé avant de quitter votre mission pour l'Eglise et à votre mort brutale. Dites-moi : pourquoi avez-vous poursuivi les Cinq Rois Célestes? »
Honnêtement, je ne me souviens pas. Le seul souvenir que j'ai avant de mourir, c'est le moment où j'ai été tué par eux. Cela et mon regret de ne pas pouvoir dire adieu à Morgan. Comment va-t-elle dernièrement? Je ne peux pas imaginer qu'elle travaille ici plus longtemps."
"Vous avez raison. Elle n'est plus là. Après votre mort, Morgan est parti en voyage pour qui sait où. J'ai essayé de l'arrêter mais... tu peux trouver le reste. En tout cas, je travaille ici depuis quinze ans et il n'y a pas eu de nouvelles d'elle."
-- Je vois... répondit Aglovale avant d'approcher de la porte pour partir.
-- Vous réalisez que je dois vous signaler à l'Église, n'est-ce pas?
"Tu fais ce dont tu as besoin, Balin. Je ne vous blâme pas pour votre prudence. Cependant, vous pouvez envoyer ces prêtres à leur mort si vous le faites. Au revoir, mon vieil ami. J'espère que tu n'auras plus jamais de nouvelles de moi." Ce sont les derniers mots d'Aglovale avant qu'il ne parte. Alors qu'il sortait du village, il regarda à distance et contempla son nouveau but : trouver la vérité sur la peste du sang.

Mark Location: Left side of chestAglovale, or as his close compatriots refer to him simply as Aglo, is characterized predominantly by his frankness and straightforward attitude. He is also known for his utter fearlessness both on and off the field of battle. Despite appearing to be a very calm and composed person, Aglovale is quick to anger against those he find disrespectful and, especially, those who threaten his allies. Ever since his unusual resurrection, Aglovale seems to have developed a dark side when under the influence of the bloodlust. He becomes cold, quiet, ruthless, and murderous unless he finds a way to satisfy his dark urges. In his long life, Aglovale has managed to acquire many allies as well as enemies but none of his other relationships matter more than of that between him and his adopted daughter, Morgan. Aglovale's closest comrades describe Morgan as, "the only person Aglovale truly loves." Aglovale's deepest regret is that he died before he could say goodbye to his daughter.Much of Aglovale's early childhood is unknown. He was abandoned in the small village of Tarvayne located near the mountain regions of the Great Continent. He was taken in by the chapter of the Holy Church located within the village. Aglovale was an odd child. He never spoke more than a word or two to anybody and always seemed to disappear off somewhere during all hours of the day. However, even as a child, he harbored great potential within himself. When a gigantic beast began terrorizing the village of Tarvayne, the villagers were quick to entertain the idea of abandoning their homes. But at only the age of nine, Aglovale, with a makeshift spear in hand, traversed the mountains to face the beast in its lair. The result? Aglovale came back to the village with the beast's severed head in tow, impaled on the spearhead.
The tale of Aglovale of Tarvayne began to spread to the nearby towns and settlements. "The Beast of Tarvayne was slain by a mere child," the stories went. Aglovale became somewhat of a small legend in that local region as a result of his brave action. Consequently, the sisters of Tarvayne's chapel decided to send Aglovale to Pendragahst, the capital city of Astoria, to join the ranks of the Holy Church. But once he got there, he instead showed such great prowess that he was recruited as a Knight of the First Sword - Lord Galant's personal army; Aglovale was only fifteen at the time. In his time as a Knight of the First Sword, Aglovale vanquished the likes of the Good Blood Witch and the fearsome dragon, Salamander Zant. From the mountains of treasure hoarded by Salamander Zant, Aglovale received two weapons of legendary fame: the Brightsword Caliburn and the Demon Sword Wrathbone.
As the years went by, the names "Sir Aglovale of the Brightsword" and "Bright Lord Aglovale" were immortalized by the people of the kingdoms and beyond. The bards sing praises of Aglovale's heroic exploits and adventures. "The lord who wield the Brightsword Caliburn," they would sing in his honor. In the later years of his life, Aglovale relinquished his title of Knight when he saved a little girl named Morgan - his adopted daughter. Aglovale retired and opened up his own tavern in the hopes of living out the rest of his life in tranquil bliss. Of course the curse of the immortalized had other plans for him. Aglovale, by request of the Holy Church, went on to slay the Great Iron King and even Kingslayer Esclabor who was once one of Lord Galant's most trusted knights. But for some reason after fulfilling the request, Aglovale turned rogue and went after the Five Heavenly Kings who are stern allies of Lord Galant and the Holy Church considering their involvement in the war against the Church of the Good Blood.
Alas, he alone was not enough to fell the Five Kings. Their might proved too much for the Bright Lord and his death came swiftly. In the final moments of his life, all Aglovale could think about was his regret of not being able to say goodbye to Morgan. That day, a legend was ended. It wasn't until years later that the blight arrived and began to resurrect the dead; with one of the risen being the Bright Lord, himself.
Combat Information
Caliburn: A legendary weapon of lore said to have been wielded by a great king preceding the Age of Blood, the Caliburn is also known by the epithet, the Brightsword, because of its innate ability to control light. Interestingly, Caliburn's power scales by the time of day. Starting at sunrise, the Caliburn gradually grows in strength until it reaches its apex at noon then it begins to diminish in power until nightfall. Furthermore, Caliburn has two additional forms it can change into: a longsword and a greatsword. In its passive state, it exists as a shortsword with a blade length of only two feet. The wielder of this sword must be deemed worthy by the sword, itself, before they can access its other forms.
Wrathbone: The Demon Sword Wrathbone is a legendary weapon said to contain monstrous amounts of power. During the Age of Blood, the Wrathbone appeared in the world and was wielded by a powerful demon knight whose name was lost in history, overshadowed by this very blade. The sword thrives off the blood of its victims, growing increasingly more powerful with every foe it slays. Furthermore, it feeds off of its wielder's rage, growing stronger as a result of it; hence the name "Wrathbone". The full potential of this sword is unknown because, for some reason, Aglovale is highly reluctant to use it.
Bright Lord Armor: The set of armor worn by the legendary Bright Lord himself. Crafted from dragon fire-tempered steel and dragon bone from Salamander Zant, this armor is powerful enough to deter Aglovale from the idea of using a shield during his time with the Knights of the First Sword. However, ever since his retirement from the Knights, Aglovale has retired the armor.Slaying Wave: When Caliburn's blade is enveloped in light energy, Aglovale can release it as a destructive wave of power capable of cutting through thick rock. The speed of the attack is also quite impressive. At release, it can cover a distance of 110 meters in about four seconds.
Counter: This technique was created by Aglovale out of necessity due to the fact that he does not use a shield. Using a sword, in this case Caliburn, Aglovale can redirect an opponent's attack in full when timed at the correct moment. Depending on his preference, Aglovale can redirect the attack right back at its user or even towards another enemy. Of course, Aglovale can only use his Counter if an enemy has initiated an attack first.
Bright Lord's Spear: When Caliburn is enveloped in light energy, Aglovale can thrust the blade at an encroaching enemy and release the light energy in a straight line. The result will be a spear-like attack that can potentially impale the strongest of armor.
