Lore
Dark storms started forming above castles within the aztec empire, letting out catastrophic amounts of water, flooding streets and destroying farms all amplified by a lusty wind capable of stripping entire houses. Dark storms caused drastic destruction that couldn't be recovered from. Keeps, bastions and many more structures were blown and destroyed. yet one temple somewhere deep into their forest survived.
People from the temple saw the dark storms corrupting their land, so they had to do something, luckily such event happened many, many years ago when the aztec empire was just a pile of bricks and so the people creating the dark storms didn't bother attacking a brick house, vaguely remembering there were a group of about 30 people all creating these dark clouds at a rune'd spot.
Remembering the terrifying memories they knew where they were located, so they took as many people as they could and rushed to the rune marked spot. Few soldiers got lost and some even got caught in the dark storm but the remaining were safe. Slowly traversing the forest the face the rune'd place a second time, where the dark summoners where summoning and empowering dark clouds.
Each minute spend preparing to attack could mean hundreds dead, but they kept calm until the right time. While waiting one summoner looks behind, not directly at them but in their general direction, then with a powerful shout the aztecs assault the summoners, stunned and filled with anger the dark summoners blindly fight back but they quickly get executed. The summoning stops, and the clouds start disappearing but the majority of the aztecs where all knocked out on the floor while a dark smoke came out of them.
One, powerful enough got up and with determination he walked all the way to "King's Rest" a place where their king would be wasting time. The determination and hope of that solider was so powerful that he couldn't even feel pain, he was a walking "zombie" as others said. Reaching "King's Rest" and seeing the king alive made the warrior shift back to reality where he immediately fell to the ground. The king would hear a sound and checked seeing the victorious warrior laying on the cold stone, quickly realizing he was the one who stopped the storm, due to a strange rune on his back-
Translating to "Viper" and later found that it meant great resistance to curses,poisons and all sorts of infections.
