| General Cain prepares his troops for battle in the war with Nex Image created by Arizona, legalese at bottom of the page. |
I am immortal and feared. I serve the greatest being that this pathetic world has ever known. What else is there for me to do?
Sired by a pathetic vampire centuries ago I remember little of my life before turning. I believe that I was a petty criminal already sucking the life from the peasants of the cities. Stealing their coppers so that I may drink ale and bed whores. This was enough for me as an immortal.
But I was taken as I was on a job. Entered the wrong abode as the creature of the night sat feeding on the blood of a pig no less. This feral creature was in the throws of bloodlust and pounced apon me. My turning was painful, and thankfully solitary as the sire had returned, probably, to the sewers from which he emerged from.
My eyes opened I experienced as much as I could for my first fifty years. I learnt the ways of spells and seeing arcane energies that lead me to the great Necromancer Geb. He recruited me into his army and allowed me free reign to lead invasive strikes into the pathetic nation of Nex. I feasted on their blood, raped their women and killed wantonly. The citizens of Nex pronounced me a high enemy of their nation and named me Cain Blackheart.
The war is long ago now, though they still fear me and I believe that I am a figure of many folk tales and nursery rhymes to scare their children. I for one though now work to remove the curse that holds my ruler in thrall. Once he is released I will once again sweep a wave of fear and death throughout this accursed land.

Ring of forcefangs This band negates any force spell or spell-like ability targeted at the wearer. Doing so gives the ring a number of charges equal to the spell level of the incoming force effect. The ring can hold a maximum of nine charges. If an incoming force attack would charge the ring beyond this limit, the ring does not negate the attack or gain charges, and the attack affects the wearer normally. On command, the wearer can use the ring’s charges to cast magic missile, unleashing one missile (1d4+1 force damage) per charge but no more than five missiles per round. Note: When first added, the magic missile spell for this ring will have all its charges expended – as the ring absorbs charges, these can be un-spent.
