Everyone's attention was now on Lucen and his group, who had arrived. This was the person who created a lot of toys, was rumored to have created a powerful weapon, wrote incredible plays, won in the underground arena, and had experienced the monster wave.
There were many stories circulating about Lucen Thornehart. Some were things everyone was sure happened, others were absurd rumors that none could believe.
Some said he could craft weapons that roared louder than dragons, others swore he could turn lead into silver through alchemy.
A few even believed he made deals with spirits from unknown sources to gain his strength. Whether true or not, the tales grew wilder each week, passed from soldier to merchant, from scholar to child.
To the people, Lucen was slowly becoming something more than human. He was becoming a symbol of a person capable of making the impossible possible.
