[King Killoth]

please ignore the abd spelling and typeos and poor grammer. please enjoy the story.

My name is Mordus. I am a dwarf born in dust town. I was bron with out a cast and into a life of crime under the carta. I grew up here in dusttown. working as a pick pocket as a child than a hired goon for the carta when I grew up. I wear my brand with shame as those with cast pass me. Life is hard here in the slums.

The carta has sent me to collect money from a shop owner in the commons. he is old and fearful this should be easy. I kick in his shop door wiht two other goons. "Hey old man.." I stop my words as my eyes see the Royal gaurd standing next to the old man. the gaurd smiles at me as four more run up from behind me and my goons. not long after I am bound in cains and dragged off to the prison.

I sit in my cell stairing at the man across from me. he is scared and marked with death brands. he dose not like me. "Whats your sodding problem" I ask him in an angery tone. he growls as he lunges at me. with a hard right punch i drop the sodding brute to my feet. " seems we no longer have a problem" I kick his ribs as he lays on the stone floor out from my hit. I sit on his bed claiming his things for my own.

I awoke to the sound of a gaurd openign my cell " You castless your trail starts soon come with me" I stand and look to the brute cowering in the corner. I cant help but smile. The gaurd leads me to the council chamber. the rich judge me. a sodding joke if you ask me.

"Mordus you have been charged with extortion and assuilt on a number of shop owners how do you plea?" the rich pampered sodding ****** talked down to me " Guilty as hell..can we hurry this up I got a meal waiting for me in my cell" the look of anger on his soft face pleases me.I smile as he brings in my acusers. i lisen as each one tells how i beat them and forced them to pay me their money. its all a load of nug dung. I know the truth the carta soild me out to save himself.

After the few hours the soft skined council leader looks down on me and speaks to me as if a child "Mordus we the council have found you guilty of all charges. Your are given a choice. due to your aparent skills you may chose to join the dead cast and fight as a leagion of the dead int he deep roads or be exiled into the deep roads to survive on your own. Witch is your choice?" death alone or with other damned dwarves. a tough choice. "ill join the sodding leagion" the gaurd cracks me in the gut to make me shut up. I stand my ground. It pisses him off. they drag me off to the deep raods.

Im tossed into a tent full of armor and weapons. " gather what you can once your down there you wont be getting anything new." I grab my new armor and a new shiney axe. they drag me into an other tent with a brander. the tell me to sit down and let him brand me. I do as told. The old man speaks to me " why did you join the leagion?" " was not my choice. im castless and a criminal. I never had a choice." I spoke honest for the first time in a long time. the old man begains to brand my face. it hurts but they always do when their done with skill.

I sit up and look in a mirror. my face looks as grim as soul should be. I smile and shake the old mans hand. " thanks elder Ill be sure to make sure you atleast survives down here." he smiles back to me "We castless need to watch out for each other" his words shocked me. he was born castless but is  a brander for the leagion.

They march me to the group of new recruits. some have never seen battle befor. some never seen work befor. pampered nugs from the high casts. probly sent here for pissing off mommy and daddy. A few i recognize from prison. my old cell buddy in here. I cant help but smile to him as I am told where to stand.

Our captain takes his palce befor us " I dont have time for a happy begining sence no one is getting a happy ending down here. most of you will die but you will die with honour. you will be forgotten by those above but not by those down here. you kill the darkspawn you live longer. you fight together you live longer. we stand as one or die as many.I am not your sodding mother and you will not find mercy from me or the darkspawn. you will get hurt down here. Every one collects their shair of scars and pain. we are all that keeps those above safe and alive. You are not fighting for your self you are fighting for all those who are alive and will be alive tomarrow. as far as they know you died the second you put on that armor. I dont care who you where above down here you are all leagion remeber that." his words hit me deep. I was not a castless goon down here. I was something here. even if it was fodder.

We marched off to the deep roads. not more than a few miles did we run into our first fight agenst the darkspawn. We broke apart quickly the cowards where the first to die. I swung my axe at the darkspawn. hacking and crushing as many as I could one hit for each one. standing still is a death sentece. their black blood splatters on my armor and my axe. I hear them growla nd grunt as they sloguhter the weak ones. my old prison buddy seems to eb holding his own with that hammer. the captian is killign the most. I catch glimpses of him slashign threw them with his daggers. he fights like the sodding darkspawn we are fighting. soon its over. out of the fifty that whent down onyl twenty remain. we leave their bodys as we march on.

We finaly reach the leagion camp. nothing but the best live here. as we march past I see only strangth. the battle scared and the harden stand around me. I feel at home.

I awoke to the horn. quickly I dawn my armor and grab my axe. i run out tos ee the darkspawn attackign our front line. I run to attack my axe slaming into the skull of the darkspawn emasarie. I pull it out and look at the massive orger towering above me. It raors at me. I let out my own roar as I leap into the air burrying my axe into the sodding beasts chest. I stuned it only cutting into its muscle. It hits me with a powerful back ahnd sending me across the battle feild. I hit the ground ahrd knocking off my helmet. I look up to see darkspawn chargeing me. Im unarmed but not weak. I throw a hard right knocking back the first darkspawn. I rain punches at them one hit for each jsut enuf to keep them back. I strip away a darkspawn sword and swing it slashing off their limbs. In a blood frenzy i rampage through the small group. I held my ground.

That was untill the oger came back to me. my axe still stuck in his chest. I charge him he swings his massive hand at me. i drop to my belly slideing under his reach blade out sliceing into his leg. I get up as fast as I can to ehar the ugly nug humper screaming. his knee cap on the ground. I smiel as he run up his back stabing the sword into his neck. It roars as I bring it down to the ground hard. the few remaing darkspawn run off back into the deeproads.

We won this day. witha  victorius cry we all roared into the night. I walked to gather my helmet. as I stood their looking over my massive foe I felt it. a sharp pain in my back. than I looked down to see a sword sticking out of my gut. I look back to see a barly alive darkspawn holdign the end of a sword. after all that this is my end. I turn and hack off the darkspawns head befor i drop to my knees. I am not kneelign to the darkspawn or the darves that sent me here. No I kneel to the leagion. to all those who died today and the days gone past. I finaly feel like I was apart of something real. I felt complete for the first time in my life. I am glade this is how it ends. I can hear the eachos of the leagion runign to my side. I cant help but smile as the face of the one to catch me is my old cell buddy. " Remeber me" is the last words that leave my lips as the ancesters take me into the stone.
