Versatio

Legacy
The legendary hero of the Second Demonic Invasion. Versatio is a famous figure among most of Draivros and is even worshiped by some as a Divine reborn as a mortal. Legends about him vary from pulling out an ancient sword from a stone that no other mortal was able to do, to destroying an entire demonic army single-handedly, to even facing and defeating a Divine one on one. All three nations on Draivros lay claim to his legacy, with the Federation of Ordo claiming Versatios, his birth settlement, as part of their state, while the Dominion of Storia lays claim to the fact that Versatio was their very first Grand Master, and the Rulers of the Kingdom of Novrus claim lineage to his blood through their dynastic founder, Hord Karling, grandson of Versatio.

Versatio was born in a small village located next to the Dark Forest during the Royallian era, many years before the First Demonic Invasion and the Curse of the Beacon. Having already reached his 70s by the time of the Second Demonic Invasion, it was here that his legend truly began as demons flooded out of the reactivated gates, devastating a society already ruined by the Curse of the Beacon. Rallying the human survivors and refugees who had escaped to his village, of which had become a town at that time, Versatio led the Human army, with the assistance of the Discipulus Storia, into destroying the bulk of the Demon Army in Eastern Ordo, chasing the fleeing invaders back to the Southern Gate River, and preventing Demon reinforcements from flowing back into Eastern Ordo.

It was after this point that Versatio joined the Discipulus Storia, becoming it’s Grand Master by vote, as the previous Grand Master had died during the final battle before they could name their successor. Leading his armies to the town of Onra, which had been founded by survivors from Western Ordo, he set sail to Western Ordo, landing in what is now Onradius to relieve the remaining forces of the 7th Prince, before heading to Bari to assist against the Demonic invaders sieging the city. Once the defenders of Bari had been relieved, Versatio would march all of Ordo under his banner against the last gate located in the far north, thus eliminating the Demonic threat to all of humanity.

Realizing that he could not support the human survivors in the devastated lands of Ordo, he led his forces back to his hometown, which was renamed to Versatios in his honor, before he led the Discipulus Storia and those who would follow him into the Dark Forest, eventually settling in the spot that would become the city of Storia.

A decade after the establishment of Storia, Versatio would abdicate from his position, passing it down to the Storian Advisor known only as Ombralago, and leaving on an adventure to the unknown.

Versatio’s whereabouts is currently unknown, but many speculate that in Draivros’ darkest hour, Versatio will come once again to lead all of mankind, ushering all of Draivros in a new golden age of peace and stability that will last for centuries.

It is unknown what Versatio truly looked like, as the stories about him differ on his eye color, hair color, and skin color. What is well-known, however, is that wherever he went, a purple, red, and green flag always followed. These colors today stand for the three nations that live within Draivros.
