Editing Vardek Crom (section)

==The Legend==
A member of the Kurgan tribe known as the Kul, Vardek Crom took control of his people before he was twenty years old by killing the previous chieftain. Haunted by visions of a mighty warrior who would unleash the final dominance of Chaos over the world, Crom brooded: was this a vision of his destiny? Or was this a warning from the Gods that there was a champion out there even mightier than he?

He received his answer when Archaon and the Swords of Chaos crossed into his land as part of Archaon's search for the [[Six Treasures of Chaos]]. Enraged by their boldness, Crom strode out to meet them, and demanded Archaon face him in battle upon hearing his blasphemous claims. Archaon's warriors interposed themselves, but Crom cut down fourteen of them effortlessly before Archaon finally deigned to face him himself. The Everchosen defeated the Conqueror effortlessly and revealed to him the Sword, stopping Crom dead in his tracks. Of the Treasures, Archaon had three; the Sword, the Mark and the Eye, with only the Steed, the Armor, and the Crown remaining. He invited the mighty Kul to join him in his quest, and the humbled king agreed. Since that day, Crom has been Archaon's most loyal follower, roaming far and wide at Archaon's side and beyond, the self-proclaimed Herald of the Everchosen.
