Across the sea, Szorlok's power grew once more, like a malevalent cancer. Four riders were sent to far flung corners of the land, with instructions never to return - the secret of each shard would pass with the bearer.įor eighty years, the shards lay quietly, lost to the world.
Fearing Szorlok's return, and knowing the power of the Darkspore, the wizards chose to hide each shard where no-one could ever recover them. In the tower of his Order, Gojun and his comrades split the heart asunder once more. Gojun escaped with the Darkspore, the dead coming to life as he rode through the invading Vitalion armies. As Szorlok prepared to place the evil heart within his own chest, crowning himself Lich King reborn, Gojun the Interloper struck him down, aided by three other mighty wizards of his order. It was Gojun Pye who saved the world then. Using the life-force of his minions, Szorlok forged the broken heart whole. But once within the tomb, Szorlok betrayed his followers, unwilling to share his prize. But it was here that Szorlok uncovered his secret - immortality and the power to enslave both the living and the dead, all contained within the four shattered pieces of the Lich King's heart. Szorlok and his acolytes sought out the Lich King's tomb, uncovering it's whereabout after many years of obsessive study and searching, the promise of eternal life driving them relentlessly. His history was lost to all but the most ancient scrolls. Many long years the Lich King lay in his tomb, undisturbed. But Amun Kahn threw even Tek down, and only then, in fear and grief, did the combined will of the Gods unite to destroy the upstart King, and his heart - crystalized by dark and malevalent power - broke into four shards. In wroth, the God of the Forge - Tek - descended from on high to give battle to the Lich King. Many thousands of years past, the Lich King Amun Kahn overthrew the world and subjugated its' peoples, bent on destroying the Gods themselves and elavating himself to their station in the heavens.
