Hey everyone! Currently working on small stories that will populate the universe of Tree of Mu. You will be able to find these stories in the game from time to time. For those who are interested in the lore of the game, here is one of them:

The Legend of Valaric and Thiron

The legend of Valaric Oakshield and Thiron Ironbeard is a story that has been passed down for generations, whispered by travelers in taverns and told by bards in the great halls of kings. The tale tells of two companions whose bond transcended even death itself. Valaric was a renowned knight, feared and respected by his enemies and loved by his allies. His armor and weapons were forged by his dearest friend and companion, Thiron. Thiron was a master blacksmith whose skill with a hammer was unmatched. He had crafted armor and weapons for many great warriors, but it was Valaric's that he poured his heart and soul into. As they traveled together, Valaric and Thiron faced many challenges and battles. They fought side by side, their bond growing ever stronger. But fate had other plans for them. One day, as they were returning to their settlement, they were ambushed by a group of bandits. Thiron fought valiantly, but he was outnumbered and eventually fell in battle. Valaric was devastated by the loss of his friend. He mourned him deeply, his grief almost too much to bear. But as he donned his armor, something felt different. It was as if Thiron's spirit was infused within it. Valaric could feel his friend's presence with him, guiding him in battle. Valaric continued to wear the armor that Thiron had crafted for him, feeling his friend's spirit with him in every battle he fought. As the years went by, Valaric became a legend in his own right, his reputation as a warrior spreading far and wide. But it was in the Great Battle of Mu where Valaric met his end. As he fell in battle, his spirit was drawn into the armor, merging with Thiron's spirit to become something new, something greater than either of them had been before. From that day on, the Living Armor of the Lost Knight wandered the lands, a fearsome and almost unstoppable force. None knew the true origin of the armor, but rumors spread of two companions whose bond was so strong that even death could not separate them. And so, The Legend of Valaric and Thiron lived on, their spirits forever entwined within the Living Armor of the Lost Knight.
