The Forgotten Creation
Long ago, in a forgotten corner of Talmuth, a lonely toymaker lived, known for crafting intricate wooden marionettes and enchanted figures. Obsessed with the idea of creating life, he began experimenting with ancient, forbidden magic. His dream was to bring to life a companion that could move, think, and even feel.
He started with humble materials: wooden boxes that he had lying around his workshop. He fitted them together, forming a bipedal creature with a small box for its head, a large one for its torso, and smaller crates for its limbs. Once the figure was complete, the toymaker used the last of his magical energy, infusing the creation with a powerful soul-binding spell. And then, Jack in the Box was born.
But Jack wasn’t quite what the toymaker expected. While animated and intelligent, the creature had no memory or sense of purpose. It wandered the streets of Talmuth, confused and out of place. Its creaky wooden frame startled villagers, and the constant popping of its head’s lid made it an eerie sight.
Fearing what he had unleashed, the toymaker tried to undo his work, but Jack resisted. Over the years, the creature found a new purpose—uncovering relics and treasures lost to time. Jack became a relic itself—a living creation of wood and magic, cursed with a life it never asked for.
Now, those who find Jack in the Box can unlock its power, adopting the appearance of this bizarre wooden enigma. But beware, for the echo of the toymaker’s magic still lingers within, and Jack’s curious spirit may live on in those who don his form.

Encountering Darthrauka is an unpleasant experience to begin with, but in times of war, being in opposition to his ever-increasing pursuit of worldly domination, doesn't often bode well for you.
Mitreus, a frost god, learned this lesson the hard way. Rather than eliminate Mitreus entirely, Darthrauka felt that a life of torment as a puny creature, would be far more torturous a punishment, than death. Condemning Mitreus to life as a wolf, Darthrauka figured his enemy would be rendered but a mere, harmless beast. Except he was wrong.
Having retained a modicum of power following transformation, Mitreus soon became a menace for Darthrauka, and his minions, posing fierce opposition to his plans, for centuries. With a newly acquired form of swiftness and strength, little did Darthrauka know, that rather than issue damnation, he had unleashed himself... a Snowstorm!

Those who try and escape it's evil reigns, are normally met with swift destruction, yet every so often, one will manage to slip past the veil of darkness, and escape directly into the mortal realm. In this particular case, his name was Minion #2.
Under the direct control of King Karthulu, Minion #2 had it bad. As one of the oldest to be enslaved, he spent centuries doing the bidding of the king. Day after day, hour after hour, Minion #2 spent working, grinding away in the grueling mines of the abyss. His brittle bones begging for solace, but Minion #2 didn't have a choice. As one of King Karthulu's minions, you are controlled, an evil spell commanding your every move, yet, after centuries, Minion #2 could feel the control slipping away, the hex beginning to weaken. Slowly but surely, he was starting to feel free.
As time went on, Minion #2 planned his escape. joyously dreaming of the outside world. He determined that while Karthulu was sleeping, his control felt to be at it's weakest, and as the king laid down to rest, Minion #2 made his move. Dashing through the mines with target in sight, he raced towards the nearest nether portal, the other minions looking on in disbelief, as he leapt through the magical passageway, he was free.
Although no longer under the direct control of King Karthulu, Minion #2 still maintains a follower mentality, making him a loyal companion to those who merely show him respect. Will disintegrate at the end of the Valor Expedition. Reduces Chill duration by 10s
