In the woods between Covetous and Minoc, a gaunt figure shuffled through high grass and broken branches. It was late and the stranger wore the darkness like a cloak, slowely but smoothly moving from tree to tree. If someone had observed this movement they would have thought they had caught glimpse of a wraith escaped from some ancient cemetary. Such a conclusion wouldn't have been far from the truth.
Before long the stranger emerged from the woods and stood at the foot of a long path that wound up the mountain that stood before him. Gazing at the mountain that held its terrible tribute to greed and avarice within, he slowely kneeled and placed a bag he carried in the grass before him. He opened the bag and removed its contents - a terrible helm made of bone. He placed the helm on the ground and rose to his feet. He took a small step back before speaking in a raspy voice,
"Rise. Rise and take all that you desire."
The stranger glanced in the direction of Minoc, and smiled. Moving back to the woods he had arrived by, he vanished into the trees. Behind him, the ground beneath the bone helm rumbled.
