At the very start of Beyond Divinity there are a series of drawings while a voice (I think it may be Death Knight) is narrating what happened before the story starts (I suppose). This narration is not texted. My problem is that I'm hearing impaired and cannot hear what he says - but I would really have liked to learn the backstory/explanation to why Death Knight got soulforged to Hero in the first place.

Do anyone know of a transcript of this narration, or would anyone be so kind as to write it down and post it? Pretty please?

Hello. I'll work on it today if you like. I'm bored and unemployed and I've been meaning to complete BD again anyway before the new game comes out. Will post the transcript soon.

.....

Behold! It is done. This is the deathknight speaking:


The reforging of my destiny started with a divine paladin chasing a necromancer. This paladin and his companions had recently enjoyed a string of successes in their battle against the Black Ring. And the pompous fools didn’t expect much trouble. They were wrong.

The smiles were soon wiped off their smug faces when the necromancer summoned the demon overlord Samuel to his aid. A daring summoning indeed, as Samuel can be notoriously difficult to deal with. But unfortunately for me, in this particular case the demon proved most useful. The divine paladins were no match for Samuel. I heard it took weeks to clean up the mess.

However he did leave one alive. He always leaves one alive. After all, torturing is no fun if the creature is already dead. He imprisoned the last paladin in his citadel on the demon world of Nemesis, which is where Samuel likes to test out his latest imaginative torture methods in his long term guests . And that’s where I come in

Samuel is a very traditional demon. He takes loyalty very seriously. I belong to a very different camp. Being what I am, I wasn’t really afraid when he caught me. After all, what could he do to me that hadn’t been done already? Unfortunately, I underestimated him -- an almost always fatal mistake when dealing with a demon.

Of all the things, he decided to forge my soul to that of his paladin plaything. For a while I slipped into unconsciousness. When I awoke I too was imprisoned. That was easy to rectify but that didn’t solve my real predicament. There was something new inside my head, a burning itch of a presence, and I didn’t like the feeling at all.

It was time to introduce myself to the itch.
