Stepping Stones Saga

Dartelo Vilruhn was born to a loving farmer’s family in the Holy Pietra Empire. Over four centuries have passed since The Fall, and like the other great kingdoms of the Estoch Continent, the Empire is now a place where one's birth does not determine one's future.
A young man's fate may hold many surprises, for these are interesting times.

Dartelo is now faced with what seems to be the penultimate challenge as he must put his past behind him and move forward. The question that remains is where will the winding road that is his future take him?

Will he study for countless years to become one of the Holy Mages?
Will he strive to become a knight and fight his way up to the fabled Throne of the Battle Saint Pietra?
Will he become the finest craftsman to have ever graced Estoch?
Will he put on the cloak of a travelling adventurer and face the beasts that roam the vast continent?

Or maybe, like so many before him, he might wander astray into the depths of hell itself...
