Besides, you don't turn down anyone who has the audacity to name himself the Elder. Doing that will shorten your lifespan considerably. The Elder … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 1)

The ones that return alive at … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls
