Fodor was the 3rd son of a famous city guard back in Elsworth.  He learned to wield a long sword from his dad and two older brothers (mostly in self defense). But he was not good at much else.

When he came of age, he had no where to go, but had to leave the house.  He ventured out and became a mercenary for local caravans in the area around Ellsworth and neighboring towns and cities. It wasn’t challenging work, usually, but it paid the bills and enabled him to eat and drink his fill.

His latest job was as a guard for a caravan traveling through the vast Nastiri desert (at least that’s what his compadre Gilbert called it - before he died of heat stroke).

After wandering through the desert for several weeks, and finding just enough water and game at several oasis’s, he came upon a huge, abandoned Pyramid in the sand.  He followed tracks up to a door at the pinnacle and, once inside, found himself trapped. Apparently, no way out except down.

He wandered around the top two floors, then made his way further down.  So far he had only found dead bodies, but no signs of anyone he remembered from the caravan....
