Lore

The now former acolyte of the Zakarum-priesthood Buyard Cholik, facing the limits of his own mortality, slowly started despising the so called "Religion of the Light", regretting all the years he faithfully devoted to the Zakarum order which was now exposing all of its frailty while confronting the wicked intents and machinations of the Lord of Hatred himself. Buyard Cholik, fueled by an evergrowing thirst for knowledge related to the pursuit of eternal life, eventually, came to know about the powerful and mighty demon Kabraxis. Inebriated by the promise of immortality, the former Zakarum priest joined forced with Kabraxis the Thief of Hope, becoming an anchor for the banished demon between his prison realm and the mortal plane. Thus Buyard Cholik started preparing Sanctuary for the demon's coming establishing a new cult dedicated to the prophet Dien-Ap-Sten, Kabraxis in disguise, wearing the new title of "Wayfinder" for his followers and creating the first church of the Way of Dreams in the ancient city of Bramwell, from where he plan to extend his foul influence on the whole region.
