“How much pain must a person endure to stand atop the mountain? How much sorrow must a person bear to become a hero?” - The Expedition Ballad: Hymn
In the proud Empire of Onilo, in western Taladoma, a legend has been passed down: Two hundred years ago, a devastating flood from the Abyss came to Taladoma, bringing disaster and suffering to all. As the prophecy foretold, a hero led ten companions from Yala, a city on the eastern frontier, and set out on a difficult path to redemption.
He must face countless trials before the flames can judge him worthy. His sacrifice, virtue, and glory remain indistinct in the threads of fate, until he truly becomes a hero.
Take up the proof of your heroism. “Then you will be one of us: a witness to heroic deeds, an observer of legends, and a member of the people who stand with heroes.”
It's a bad approach to start by destroying the worldview.
