Terizla

Once an eccentric master blacksmith, but now vengeful on the side of the Abyss. The once revered master craftsman was now known as the famous Executioner of the Abyss, but Terizla didn't care. Since the moment he had been labeled a heretic by the Church, he had only wielded his hammer in revenge, waiting for the day when he could finally soothe the troubled souls of those close to him. ===The Fallen Blacksmith=== As one of the most powerful institutions in the Land of Dawn, the inquisition of the Monastery of Light has garnered both extreme respect and absolute terror from its inhabitants. The mere thought of having to traverse its hallowed halls and enigmatic depths would make even the most fervent followers of the Light shudder involuntarily. For deep within this solemn place lay the Renaissance Gate, the dungeon housing the Church's deepest secret: a past so dark that it could leave even the bravest soul petrified with fear.

Ten years ago, deep within the dungeons of the Inquisition, a guard slowly opened an iron door to check on the imprisoned victim, only to find her completely abandoned. The dark, desolate cell was empty except for a bloody message that stained its unforgiving walls. Heavy with hatred, the vile words read:

Overthrow the faith... The light will perish...

Appalled, the guard stood in the deserted dungeons, in silence and pure horror. Very quickly, news of the escape spread, taking the entire Monastery of Light by storm: the heretic Terizla has escaped!

“Blacksmiths must respect freedom, maintain their know-how in their work and never be subject to the rules of the Church! This is what Terizla openly shouted during a large gathering of blacksmiths.

As leader of the Freesmiths' Guild and spiritual leader of the anti-Church alliance in Lumina City, Terizla has repeatedly ignored the Church's commandments while openly defending fellow smiths sanctioned by the Church. His blatant disregard for the monastery's teachings has earned him both the disfavor of the Church and the label of a "known heretic" in Lumina City.

In addition to his rebellious side, the principled Terizla was also known for his exceptional craftsmanship. He was a man of great competence, respected by his peers for his unrivaled rigor and precision. His meticulous eye did not allow the slightest error in the forge. Any apprentice who tried to cheat him with faulty work was severely punished. The frustrated apprentices often complained among themselves, but not a single one dared to voice their grievances against Terizla out loud.

Terizla's know-how and standards, as severe and demanding as they may be, have always given the best. creations from the forge. Due to their high quality, the works of the Free Blacksmiths Guild were valued throughout the Moniyan Empire and quickly gained popularity as soon as they hit the market. So, seething with jealousy over the guild's success, the competitors bribed Terizla's apprentices to send a secret message to the Church: the "heretic" Terizla had always designed his creations using dark magic!

Before her son's sixth birthday, Terizla spent days in her workshop just outside of town, preparing a special gift for her son: a finely detailed statue of their family. Terizla skillfully worked on the statue with so much care and attention that it took her until the very day of her son's birthday to finally complete it. Eager to surprise her young son with his gift, Terizla ran home excited. What awaited him, however, was the ambush of Raven assassins sent by the Church.

Realizing something was wrong, Terizla struggled to escape the siege, but was immediately pinned to the ground.

"My wife! My son!"

Amid Terizla's heartbreaking cries, the Knights of the Church and the Ravens stormed the fortress of the Freesmiths' Guild. Within minutes, the air was filled with echoes of screams and cries of anguish.

The Raven leader grabbed Terizla by the hair and forced him to watch the fortress burn to the ground. "See them burn. Hear them scream. This is what heretics deserve!"

The Ravens then brought Terizla back to the Monastery of Light. They threw him deep into the dungeons and chained his bloodied and beaten body with enchanted chains. Alone in his cell, Terizla carefully raised his tired head and looked at his iron handcuffs, only to discover the symbol of the Freesmiths' Guild carved deep within the links.

The iron wrought by his own hands now imprisoned their masterful creator. Struck by the irony of his situation, Terizla felt a burning hatred rise in his veins. In a fit of rage, Terizla lashed out, violently pulling on the chains, screaming in both anger and agony. He vowed to fight the Church to the death and make it pay for everything it had done. But despite all his efforts, he could not free himself from the force of his own creation.

Just as he was about to give up, Alice, the Demon Queen, entered the cell. "How pathetic to see your entire family wiped out by the Church. The Blood Demon lifted Terizla's chin with his long, sharp nail. Do you want revenge? I can help you..."

Terizla looked up as Alice leaned closer and whispered. "The only thing I ask in return? Join the Abyss. Unleash the horror of your legendary skill on all those who have wronged you."

As soon as he heard his cursed promise of vengeance, the flickering glow of the dungeon's solitary lamp roared in Terizla's impassive eyes and the master blacksmith was no more. Alice has successfully transformed the Abyss into a new artisan with an insatiable appetite for revenge.

As he walked away from Lumina City forever, the only thing Terizla took with him was the statue he had made before this horrible event.

In his condemned abysmal forge. Terizla crafted enchanted weapons for the demonic army in the Desolation, accompanied only by the faint illusion of his wife standing at his side. Over and over he tried to talk to her, telling her how much he wanted to touch her face again. And each time, Terizla encountered nothing but the rhythmic echo of his hammer hitting the anvil.

Over time, his hatred towards the Church and its faithful grew even stronger. Driven by unfathomable anguish and hatred, Terizla threw all followers of the Light captured by the Abyss into her furnace, using them as raw materials for her terrible enchanted creations.

Terrifying, talented and tormented, the once revered master blacksmith had transformed into the famous executioner of the Abyss.

Anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in the cursed forge of Terizla would find the walls stained with the blood of its victims, representing a macabre fresco: a man with outstretched arms, protecting his family.

"One day, I will destroy the Church and Moniyan with my own hands..."

“I’m going to get revenge!”
