"Good morning, Neverland!" As Mister Smee would put it. 

Today we are going to visit a subject of grand importance. The History of the great and powerful Yara-Marn Silverlight. (Yar-a Mar-in) 

The orgins of Mr. Silverlight, the Great great grandfather of our protagonist are shrouded in secrecy. What isn’t a mystery is the wake he left in the world. Being an evil sociopath with nearly unlimited power will do that. 

For about two hundred years he rained down fear and dispair on the people of Rift. He became infamous for wandering into towns a laying waste to it because they didn’t happen to have his favorite danish in the local bakery.(kinda a dick move if you ask me.)

Drunk on power, Yara-Marn became a bedtime story to scare young children. But it was the parents who would have the nightmares. His all consuming goal was to rule over all without time, immortality was a must for him. Taking infants from their homes he would put a protective barrier around the newborn. Then over several weeks he would sew his soul onto the baby. Putting a mind-bent slave girl/wet-nurse in charge of the new vessel till maturity. When his old body died his soul would crush itself into the baby’s body. 

He toppled governments and kingdoms,(all to the highest bidder) killed men, raped women(he had about hundred or so illegitimate children), and put baby’s on spikes for fun.(not great at parties this one.) He created innovations of death and destruction that subsequently most people use in the world today. From magic caster guns to elemental bombs, inventing death is was what he did. 

It was because of his actions that the human-dwarf empire was born. After toppling kingdom after kingdom, the remaining humans and dwarves desided that working together rather than against each other was in the best interest of all. The Empire was born.  

Silverlight founded Rift City for miscreants mercenaries and pirates to have safe haven. He forced the negotiation with the empire and elvish kingdoms to except the grand rift as a sovereign pirate nation. And became the first pirate king. He amassed a fortune raiding the empire and elvish kingdoms. 

With near god like power it seemed like there would be no end to the horror of Yara-Marn Silverlight till on night it all ended in a flash. By his own hands Yara-Marn Silverlight was no more.

After his death the empire and elvish kingdoms waged a campaign against the warlock villages. Hoping to avoid a new Yara-Marn from rising. It was mass genocide of the warlocks culture, after wiping out all but a few small bands of warlocks a new war started between the elves and empire. Which gave the warlock culture time to stablise itself in this new world of empires. 

Yara-Marn Silverlight will return in the prologue of Book Two: Prince of Darkness.
