Sometimes, a hero hatches from the unlikeliest soul…

Merl Sheepherder is a shepherd, as his name suggests. Except, he isn't really a good one. He's often distracted. You see, Merl can see things other folks can't. For instance, he can see words and numbers hovering over buildings, and if he studies an item hard enough, a golden plaque full of scribble appears. Most every one of his friends, and his enemies for that matter, has three letters over their head. If you asked Merl what they say though, he won't be able to tell you because he can't read.

It doesn't bother Merl too much, but it does his dad. So, when a wizard camps out in a nearby wood, his dad drags Merl to see him. No one could truly predict what happens next, after all, medieval zombies aren't really a thing, and surely a simple farmhand can't hold the fate of the known world in his calloused hands?

That would be unheard of.
