Archmagus David of the Citadel (#5198)

Owner: 0xd6D5…088b

The Lore of Archmagus David of the Citadel

The citadel was overrun by an inexplicable plague.

Whilst the majority debated whether or not they should mask up and quarantine ... the citadel simply fell apart.

One of the few spared by the plague's tight grasp was the Archmagus David.  He toiled late nights in his chambers trying to find a cure when a book magically opened to a chapter detailing the benefits of an ancient Caduceus staff, which could be summoned with a simple spell.  The staff was said to relieve anyone from the plague's affliction.

Upon learning the spell, David immediately summoned the magical Caduceus staff and put it to work ... and just two days later he had done it.  He had cured everyone in the citadel.

This all came to a crash when he woke the next morning to an eerie silence.  Venturing through the citadel ... he saw bodies on the floor lifeless.  It seems everyone he had cured had died.

The silence finally broke with a sharp laughter when a demon appeared.  It explained that it had created the Caduceus staff and cursed it for his own entertainment.  "Thank you David this was delectable" were the demon's last words as David struck him down.

With blood on his hands ... he leaves the citadel to try and redeem his foolishness.  For now, only time will tell.
