Nova was by no means qualified to protect himself, let alone his entire village. He had no choice when the "Plague" hit Grantarthas. Word has spread throughout the land of a sweeping sickness that had wiped out more than five other villages, the smallest of which was at least double the size of his home. Very few people from these villages survived and rumors have spread taht they have been left for dead order of the king himself.
A simple sentry nova's nights consisted of standing watch outside of a small barn and his day consisted of sleeping in said barn. A life in which he was well accustomed too. When the plague finally hit Grantarthas no one was prepared. What had been thought to been a sickness was in actually a very large, and very dangerous demon army. It swarmed in and completely decimated the village. Buildings were set ablaze, most of the citizens flayed and tortured. Nova did what he could to defend himself and his people but no matter how many of the demon's he slayed, two more would spawn in their place. He managed to slip away and hide in the town hall until the massacre had ended. When he rose from hiding in the morning he found his home in the same state as the one's described in the rumors.
Nova would not allow this to happen again. He would set out to find the remnants of those who had suffered his same fate or anyone willing to join the fight. He would allow no more death and no more suffering at the hands of this alien menace. He now roams from land to land telling anyone who will listen to his tale and hoping they will join his struggle.
