Legend speaks of the coming of great heroes. As the darkness gathers and the forces of the underworld rise to swallow the land of the living, a few brave souls will hear the call to greatness. Their deeds will become the stories of our time, and their victories will be celebrated for centuries to come. Even now, they walk among us— unaware of the destiny that awaits them. The moment is almost here. Their hour is at hand.
You are one of those heroes. You start out on the first tier of a mythic path of your choice and gain all of its benefits. Through overcoming adversity or accomplishing great deeds you will be able to gain further tiers and their benefits.
