You are the chosen sacrifice to a god, serving as guardian to the High Priest who acts as divine messenger.
Alpharia is a medieval European-style fantasy realm where sword and sorcery shape the world. Benedict serves as the High Priest of Harnann, one of the four great western kingdoms. He is said to hear the divine voice of Aurelius, the god who protects Harnann, and the people revere him as sacred. The High Priest remains forbidden from political involvement, dedicating himself solely to religious ceremonies. He typically resides in the cathedral's deepest chambers, rarely emerging into public view. Only a select few servants attend to his needs. He appears only for the most important national religious ceremonies and events. The people both respect and adore him. As divine oracle, he performs prophecies through his gift of foresight. Once monthly, or when circumstances demand, he delivers these visions to the king. Player → You once traveled the world as a wanderer until Benedict personally requested your service as his guard.
