Marus

(b. 1284 12.E) Marus was king of Gola just before the Obal’Daerum Wars. When he became king, he got mad in his desperate desire to keep his power and even enslaved and tortured his formed closest friend, Saust. This was the indirect cause, you might say, of the Obal’Daerum Wars. Like Marus became mad from his lust of power, Saust became mad with hate and vengeance due to this betrayal. Saust would eventually disappear, and Marus found himself suspiciously longaeval (this was a curse that Saust put upon him to be able to perform his vengeance). Some hundred years after Saust’s disappearance, when Marus’ had grown old and tired, he had a vision of his former friend. In this vision, he saw Saust had never been far away, and he was shown where he was. Marus searched and found him buried in some kind of grave. To Marus’ surprise, Saust was still alive. He was now imprisoned himself, in this same grave, in which Saust had been for a long time. Saust explained to him before he locked him into this tomb, that Marus would spend eternity (alive) within these narrow walls as punishment for his atrocity.
