Anak’s Story

In the heart of the Freeholds Coalition’s infantry division, Anak Tagihan, a towering Goliath barbarian, stood as a sergeant renowned for his unwavering courage and strategic brilliance. Amidst the relentless chaos of The Crimson Siege—a grueling conflict that pitted the militaristic empire of The Sovereign Legion against the resilient alliance of smaller nations known as The Freeholds Coalition—Anak’s presence was a beacon of hope. The fertile and strategically critical Veridian Plains, a lush expanse rich in resources and vital trade routes, became the fierce battleground where both factions fought to secure their dominance.

Anak’s life was defined by the solemn principle: “Honor the fallen, fight for the living.” Each battle he engaged in was fueled by a profound sense of duty, not just to his comrades in arms, but to the future of his homeland. Loyalty was his guiding star, and he viewed every victory not as a personal triumph, but as a collective achievement for the people he swore to protect. In his heart, Anak carried the memories of those who had sacrificed their lives, vowing never to let their sacrifices be in vain.

But beyond the carnage of war, Anak nurtured a dream of becoming a leader who could transcend the battlefield and bring about lasting peace. He had no thirst for power; his ambition was born from a desire to forge a future where generations could live free from the constant threat of war. Anak envisioned himself rising to the rank of Captain, where he could unite the fragmented factions within the Freeholds Coalition, transforming them into a strong, cooperative alliance to prevent future conflicts.

Deep within, Anak’s aspirations extended to a legacy of peace and a quiet retirement surrounded by family. He dreamed of a day when he could hang up his battle-worn armor and retreat to a tranquil village near the Veridian Plains. There, he imagined tending to a small farm, raising a family, and savoring the simple joys of a peaceful life.

Even as he harbored these aspirations, Anak dedicated himself to preparing the next generation of soldiers. He envisioned establishing a training academy where future warriors would be taught not only the art of combat, but also the values of empathy, honor, and unity—ensuring that they fought with their hearts as much as with their weapons.

Currently, Anak’s journey had taken him to the Kingdom of Dan in pursuit of Alezar Swiftfoot, a cunning thief who had stolen from him and eluded capture for years. With tales of an ancient relic potentially in Alezar’s possession—an artifact that could be the key to liberating his homeland from tyranny—Anak was determined to confront his elusive foe. The shadowed streets and echoing whispers of the kingdom hinted at the long-awaited showdown. For Anak, this was more than a quest for vengeance; it was a chance to reclaim what was rightfully his and continue his quest to free his homeland from the ever-looming threat of The Sovereign Legion.
