My name is Philo...
...and I was born an orphan at the Burgue.
Back then, the city's heart beat like any other.
Fauns, fairies, all manner of creatures...
...lived alongside us humans in relative peace...
...until war changed everything.
I seized the chance to defend my home.
An opportunity to repay the city that raised me.
And that's when I met her.
She was my world.
Until they came for us.
I barely escaped...
...and I wasn't alone.
With nowhere to go, the world's races fled to the Burgue.
This city belongs to us!
My city was changing.
A darkness was growing.
Where once a peaceful city stood...
...racial animosity took hold...
...and subjected the creatures to animalistic cruelty.
They'll never accept us!
I vowed to protect those that couldn’t protect themselves,
whatever it took.
For her.
Something is coming.
A darkness.
And I...
...am the light.
