An extraordinary life. A terrible fate.
El Shashi, man of many names. Some say he is a miracle-worker. Others, a god. Many call him an abomination, spitting at his name.
And these are his names: Soulstealer, Kin-Reaper, the Burning One, the Whisperer, the Running Man, Stormtide over Gethamadi, Benok Holyhand, Scourge of the Westland, the Plague-Rider, and, worst of all, Bringer of the Wurm.
Be it known: legend is his mantle,
Eldest of his race, the awesome progenitor of all burrowing creatures,
Name him God-mountain, sleeping at the root of the world,
Exalted and cunning in ancient ways,
The Great Wurm, the wellspring of power.
A mighty sorceress, bent on revenge. The man who dared to cross her. A curse of limitless power. The rest is history. This is the legend of El Shashi.
