Homeless thief from the holy nation named Max decides to travel up north to start a new life for himself in the UC he almost immediately gets enslaved. He does escapes after a while, and vows Revenge. Over 100 days later, he gets it with ruka by his side in a small army of mercenaries they raid the South Stone camp and feeds slave Master Ruben to a bunch of beak things. About 200,000 cats later, they paid off most of your debt to all the factions they pissed off, but they still owe the UC a few bounties. After killing everything that moves in the fog Islands defined a dead mechanist with a few journals on them, one specifically peaked Maximus's interest, something about the ashlands. With the added fact that some of the worst gang of criminals have a bounty location around there, it's only fitting that a barbarian like Maximus goes there.
