Description
Finally, here he is, 
Cavimo Rex, the Lord of the Crimson Fort. His presence chills the blood, and I barely feel the quill in my hand. Though I feel compassion for this wretched being, panic invades me when he looks at us with his empty eye sockets and approaches, dragging his gigantic sword. But I cannot falter, I am a witness to this adventure, and Aran needs my notes. Let us recall the tragedy of the Crimson Fort and its fearsome host:
Cavimo, like the other inhabitants of the Fort, is a Cursed One, tireless and eternal in madness.
His story is marked by three nightmares:
The first nightmare is red. Death. A legendary cavalry charge, the Red Charge for the conquest of the Fort. Cavimo won, but in his mind, he saw defeat, walking among the dead whose blood stained the Fort and the surrounding land.
The second nightmare is green. Hunger. The crops ruined by the corrupted land. Believing the Forgers had abandoned him, Cavimo turned to the sly Autharks, who deceived him with false promises. This brought the curse that afflicts the place and all who dare enter.
The third nightmare is golden. Fire. Upon discovering the Authark deception, Cavimo tried to burn the Crimson Fort. But the red wood never burned, and the dead rose from the curse. There was no escape, not even for his only son, the prince, whom Aran and I grew fond of.
