The Progenitor

Athas is a hard, fourteenth-century world of kingdoms, churches and old monsters. Archas De Sangre is a farmer’s son from the kingdom of Lorentzé, born with a rare shock of white hair and not much else to his name.

Then, exploring a cave, he finds an ancient corpse seated on an ancient throne, and the corpse calls to him. The blood of the Progenitor, the first of all vampires, has slept for two hundred thousand years. It has been waiting for someone to wake it.
