"I do not remember how I came to this land called Apokrypha.

I was fighting for the King of France defending an outpost from the English conscripts that were trying to get there hands on it. The battle was fierce and many of my men died that day. We held the post for several days and our supplies where running low. I sent a courier with a dispatch for reinforcements but we never heard word back. I don't know it the courier was captured or killed but we had to do something. So I assembled a small group of men to sneak around the back of the English and try to attack them behind but they must have had a person working for them on the inside, because we encountered heavy resistance. The last thing I remember was trying to get a wounded comrade and myself back to the outpost when there was a loud explosion. I was thrown back in to a river, the soldier I was carrying took the brunt of the blast and died instantly. I went unconscious; I awoke on the bank of a river in a part of France I had not seen. I came to find out that I was no longer in France when I saw some of the weirdest creatures I have ever come across. I hide as they passed and I could not understand what they were saying but I didn't want to find out. The powder I was caring was wet and I seemed to have lost my musket and the rapier did not look like it could take their weapons.

I eventually found my way to an Inn and found out where I was. I was in the Earldom of Broknarra in the country of Apokrypha. Never in my travels have I heard of this place so it came as a shock to me to find this out."
