-Not that many years ago, there was a village called [[Kanpar]]. Just outside that village, there lived a man, named Hammon. He was a [[mage]], one of no small power.

His unusual creations prowled his estate in a relative peace - however disturbing the villagers found them, and their master.
 In its own way, Hammon's life was idyllic - he even had the love of a beautiful village woman, Ellimene. It was not until ambition took Hammon that his lovely life began to falter. Amazed by his own creations, yet never satisfied, he decided to create the culmination of his work. He would create a human being, and one so utterly flawless that nobody could scorn his efforts again. He would create the perfect man.
-So came to be <b>Zayken</b>. He was intelligent, handsome, and kind in the utmost. He was accepted easily in the village, often seen to do chores for people with no desire of payment. Zayken was a splendid man.
+So came to be [[Zayken]]. He was intelligent, handsome, and kind in the utmost. He was accepted easily in the village, often seen to do chores for people with no desire of payment. Zayken was a splendid man.
 However, this perfect man eventually revealed a flaw that was predictable, yet shockingly tragic. Zayken, with the showers of praise he earned, began to become arrogant. And one day, in his arrogance, he decided he deserved a reward for all he had ever done in his very short life. He attempted to seduce Ellimene.
-This, alas, did not go over well with Ellimene, who fled from Zayken as her rejection sent him into a frenzy. She returned to Hammon, and told him of Zayken's indiscretion. This, in turn, sent the [[mage]] wild with rage, and he confronted the still furious Zayken. This quickly became a clash of will, and then, a brief, vicious combat. Alas, Zayken, although a fantastic physical specimen, was quickly subdued by Hammon's [[magic]].

 Unsure what to do with his creation, who seemed to become darker and more flawed by the day, Hammon chained Zayken in his cellar, and left him. He mused that some day, he might correct the problems in this mistake of his.

Shyntei would alter every living thing, and make them part of her hive, where she was a loving monarch.
