Cabirus
 |
The knight Cabirus is among the first to brave the Stygian Abyss. Thereafter, he wanted to establish a colony within the Abyss, and nearly did so. However, Cabirus died unexpectedly, and his fledgling colony broke apart.
It is rumored that, during his colonization, Cabirus was well known to the Dwarves. Darker rumors exist that he cavorted with goblins, trolls, and Lizardmen as well, but few believe such things.
Lore
The earliest recorded exploration of outsiders venturing into the Stygian Abyss was a small band of humans, led by the stout-hearted knight Cabirus. Cabirus was a dreamer, and held a vision of establishing a utopian colony within the Abyss. Half-remembered stories tell of how he nearly succeeded against all odds. Then the stories tell of how Cabirus’ plans faltered, and fell into ruin. It is presumed he and most of his band were wiped out by the monsters that dwell in the Abyss, where once again darkness and chaos ruled.
In Underworld Ascendant, you return to the Abyss as the Avatar generations after the events of Cabirus’ failed colony.

Paintings made Sir Cabirus have been (recently) discovered! Besides being the founder of the first colony of men in the Stygian Abyss, he had a gift for painting. It was known that he painted a visual diary of his explorations deep into the Abyss; but only now, more than century later, have a sheaf of his paintings been found.
