Honor: The History Of The First Warden

Varian was unjustly imprisoned in the dreaded Tartaros prison, a place from which no man has ever escaped. Years of forced labor and hard work in tunnels made Varian a survivor, shaped by pain and discipline. Under the tutelage of Natanael, a master swordsman and a wise men that was imprisoned too
, Varian not only learned to fight with mastery but also to read, write, and express himself in various languages. However, after the death of his master, Varian finds his opportunity to escape by switching places with Nathanael's body (often called Nathan by Varian) and being thrown from the mountain, defying fate. Fleeing the oppression of the prison, Varian is joined by a group of mercenaries led by a cunning and relentless captain. Although the mercenaries' interest is questionable, Varian sees in them the chance to pay off his debt for freedom. Now, with a map that his master left him — the "Lion's Cradle" — he seeks answers about his past and a purpose for his future. Pursued by his past and confronted with unpredictable challenges, Varian must decide whether his destiny is to continue as a fugitive or to become something better that he has always aspired to be.
