Raised in the town of Hyb Ciuin, Cuellain’s childhood went without any remarkable event. Son of a carpenter, he was supposed to learn the same trade. As an adolescent, he fell from a rooftop, his head hit a pavestone, and everybody thought he was as good as dead.

But he did not die. Instead, he woke up after a few days out. At first, everything seemed fine again but soon, it became apparent he was seeing things that were not there and sometimes he talked with non-existent people. When this became known, a kind of witch hunt began and Cuellain had to flee for his life.

Now an outcast, he joined a band of scoundrel living on the fringe of law in the countryside. One person, a former warrior named Martigan, saw something different in him and began to teach him his art of fighting with two weapons. Cuellain happened to be a very apt pupil and considered becoming a mercenary.

But his recurring visions continued to plague him. One day, when camping near a cemetery, something became obvious. Cuellain was able to see the spirits of the dead. Now that was something he wanted to investigate when perchance, he met a young Gnome named Kadiris with a strange interest in burial sites. Maybe it could be a good place to look for answers thought Cuellain.

Soon the two set out on a journey, not knowing where it would take them...
