Knight Oren

Mathis Oren was born 1834 GO, 7 Hendris in the Alazor Empire. Oren was one of the most highly regarded Holy Knights for the Empire during the War Against the Pit. He was tasked specifically by the council to venture to Conduin and lead the initial charge against their enemies. He ventured down into The Pit with his long time friend Daedin Links, a Conduinian commoner named Anya, and an Izarin Izzan. Ultimately his quest to close the Conduin entrance failed as he was killed by the husk of Slab deep within The Pit.

Rebirth as an Aniol
As Links, Anya and Izzan attempted to make their escape from The Pit they were constantly persued by the denizens and the husk of Slab. Slab's pursuit was bizarre, as husks normally showed no signs of thought or order. While cornered by Slab Daedin ordered the other two to keep fleeing while he would hold off the crazed undead barbarian as best he could. Daedin's magic was enough to slow down the husk, but not wound it in any way. As Slab was about to land a killing blow, a brilliant flash of light consumed the room. When Daedin's vision came clear he saw a ghostly form of Oren holding off Slab. Oren defeated Slab in combat, killing the husk and removing all painful memories from the corpse's body and guided Daedin to his companions.

Oren continued to lead the three to safety, eventually leading them all to the entrance of The Pit in Conduin. Any attempt to communicate with Oren was met with silence and an empty stare. As Daedin walked up towards the portal to escape, Oren vanished and hasn't appeared since.

Stirring Beyond Death
Although the Aniol form of Oren hasn't appeared to Daedin, Daedin has felt an activeness as he's slept. On some nights he dreams of a world beyond their own and he sees his childhood friend Oren running through a kingdom of prehnite, looking for something. Guardians clad in elaborate brass and calcite armour persue him, but Oren is able to keep pace ahead. Daedin sees this as a sign of a world beyond death, connected to the mostly unknown Aniol phenomenon, and begins to search of a way to connect the two worlds.
