LORD OF THE MANOR
THE AWAKENING
AS IVAN VLADASKOV AWAKENS, HE REMEMBERS THE IMAGE OF HIS DYING FATHER RIDDLED WITH MONGOL ARROWS, AND THE SHAMAN WHO SAID HE COULD SAVE HIM AND MAKE HIM IMMORTAL. IVAN'S FATHER HAD REFUSED, SAYING THE PRICE WAS TOO HIGH AND HAD DIED MOMENTS LATER. IVAN HAD TAKEN THE "CURE" AND HAD VOWED VENGEANCE ON THOSE THAT HAD DESTROYED HIS KINGDOM AND HIS FATHER.
