You say, 'hail Sartar the Unrivaled'
Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Hello Shazz , I am Sartar. In my former life I forged my body into a versatile weapon capable of defeating any foe that crossed my path. I was a student, a leader, a scholar and a scoundrel. My deeds caught the eyes of the gods and Cazic-Thule blessed me, removing me from this plane and placing me within the [Realm of Heroes]. You say, 'what realm of heroes' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'The Realm of Heroes is where I lived for some time, with others who had performed great deeds. I enjoyed this paradise but I wished to return and serve my lord Cazic-Thule further. Perhaps it was because of the discipline I learned from my early masters and later as a master myself, that I eventually shunned that life of pleasure. So again, I return to this mortal realm to serve my [dark lord of Fear]. You say, 'who is the dark lord of fear' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Hail Cazic-Thule, long may fear reign. I serve by rewarding others that have found the favor of the gods and whose actions have caught their attention and rewarded them appropriately. Those to receive the favor of the gods are on their way to the glory that I have achieved in [my past]. Their journey is simply at its beginning. You say, 'what is your past' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'I do not know whether it was one single deed in particular that caught the eyes of the gods or if it was many deeds throughout my life in service to Cazic-Thule. I choose to leave such questions to the philosophers and personally do not care why it is that I stand before you as I do now. Simply, my reward is to serve. Still, perhaps you would like to [hear one of my tales] since you seem so interested in listening to me speak. You say, 'i would like to hear a tale' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Very well, I shall relay to you a tale of my beginning. The times in which I lived were much different from today. It gives me pleasure to see the ancient cities being rebuilt and New Sebilis is a testament to the superiority of our race. When I walked the land however, we were still wandering in the wilderness. When I was young their were [two masters] who lived solitary lives in the caves near what is now called the Emerald Jungle. I served both and neither. You say, 'what two master' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Their names are not important for they are masters no longer. The two knew of each other's existence but neither knew that I was receiving training from both of them at the same time. I expect that if one learned I was receiving training from the other they would have both fought over whom would be the one to have the pleasure of striking me dead. They would [learn the truth] eventually, only on my terms. You say, 'what was the truth' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'The truth was simply that I served neither master, only myself. At first it was a great challenge to slip between the two as their fighting styles differed so greatly. However, as the years past my ruse became perfected and switching between the roots of either style became natural and automatic. Indeed, I soon reached the point when I knew that I had learned all I could from both and had exceeded them in skill. [Yet I continued] to pay both visits. You say, 'why did you continue the visit?' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'I simply wanted to be certain that I was able to defeat both, one after the other. I knew that should I slay the one master, word would travel quickly, no doubt fears would be raised and perhaps my duplicity revealed. My unique perspective having studied both styles afforded me the knowledge of how to [defeat both masters]. You say, 'how did you defeat both masters?' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Defeat them both I did! I still remember the look of shock on their faces, how the pupils of their eyes dilated with fear as I switched from their native stance to that of the other style. That momentary loss of wits was the undoing of both and that weakness was their undoing. I defeated both masters easily. This was the humble beginning of my [rise to power]. You say, 'how did you rise to power?' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'With both local masters defeated word traveled quickly of my deeds. Those that would seek the masters for knowledge and training were suddenly without either. Through their destruction, I had laid the roots for my eventual ascension as head of my tribe. You say, 'what is your tribe?' Sartar the Unrivaled says 'Indeed, rather then to come to these two masters for wisdom and training they began to seek out my help. Soon, I had followers joining me from many of the other tribes and I became a leader of many. My tribe grew large and we were very powerful and successful. Often the passage of time swallows the great deeds of a hero and they are forgotten over millennia. Fortunately, the gods never forget. I have become bored with speaking to you Sstiyrr .
