Shard of a scroll retrieved by monks of the Northern Monastery after a mass execution committed by a Black Dragonborn.
"Two years I've been walking the lands to the east of the kingdom I'm from because of a crime I did not commit. I was once the heir to the throne, but now those who swore loyalty to me and my family are pursuing me for my bounty. I've spent years before my exile training as a Paladin in the name of our lord Bahamut and I have come even further since my exile began. Some nights though, I hear a voice telling me what it claims to be truth, but my instinct screams chaos.
Six months into my journey I ran into a small, unnamed village plagued by a demon possessing the villages guardian hound. In an attempt to cleanse the beast, I used the holy symbol of Bahamut on my shield to increase my power and drove out the demon; however, not all went as planned. The demon moved from the guardian into me in an attempt to possess my body, but because of my training in the Paladin order, I was able to perform a self-exorcism. Evidently, I was not as successful as I had hoped.
Every now and then I'll lose myself. Whatever shard of the demon that was able to latch onto my being takes over and I unconsciously act to its will. Thankfully, nothing wretched or evil has happened yet because of my distance from civilization. Once, I got close to a market village in the lands to the south, but took back control before I entered the gates. It takes all my training and will to keep in control of the hate that now dwells inside of me, feeding off of my fear, doubt, pain, and anger..."
