Grieum's+Legend

Back before the Great Pinarus Thorp there were 4 men known only as the Air Walkers. They were the greatest warriors and wizards in the land and were sought after to help with anything and everything. The Walkers helped everyone they could but refused apprentices because they found no one they deemed “worthy.” Rumors of war were spreading around the land and it seemed that soon the Air Walkers would be more needed than ever.During this time a young man named Pinarus Thorp went to see the Air Walkers not in an attempt to have them participate in the war but to seek wisdom and guidance. Pinarus spent over a year with the Air Walkers and when he left them he formed his own alliance. He quickly grew to be the favored victor to win in the upcoming war. All of his enemies and even most of his allies though that the Shadow Walkers were secretly helping him in his rise to power. One fateful day Piraeus's worst enemy, Mendarus Arradiece marched his army on the location of the Air Walkers intent on recruiting them or destroying them. The Air Walkers knew Mendarus’s intentions and they knew that even they could not repel an army of that size. Soon enough the army was at the doorstep of the Air Walkers. They looked upon the vast army and they shouted up so that the entire region heard their shout. “We cannot best your army Mendarus but one as aggressive such as yourself will never best us!” Mendarus was so angered upon this he gave his army orders to attack and all seemed over for Air Walkers. Suddenly the ground shook as the Walkers chanted. Thunder rumbled, lighting flashed, waves crashed, and the very land shook as they used all the power at their disposal. The ground suddenly started raising up, further and further until a large hill was formed, then a mountain which kept raising until it was higher than the clouds and wider than a city. Hundreds of Mendarus’s troops were swallowed up by the land itself and hundreds more were crushed by falling rocks, lighting strikes, and even sucked under the waves as the over crashed wave after wave from the ocean swallowed the land. Mendarus himself was raised up to the top of the mountain with the Air Walkers and was never heard from again. It is said that those who climb the mountain can still see the ghosts of Mendarus’s men. At the very top of the mountain to this day lives the Air Walkers who guard a mysterious mystic item. Anyone who manages to climb the mountain and pass a trial they may be deemed worthy enough to learn from the Air Walkers.
