Piotyr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Piotyr is a fictional Paladin in the Quest for Glory universe. He is a major character in the fourth game in the series, Shadows of Darkness, if the Hero protagonist is a Paladin himself. These players will encounter the ghost of the Paladin in the city of Mordavia, and will be able to redeem Piotyr's family name. Others will only hear Piotyr being mentioned when the history of Mordavia is unfolded. Piotyr is the grandfather of Mordavia's Burgomeister Dmitri Ivanov.

When the cult of the Dark One tried to summon Avoozl into this realm of existence, Piotyr and the mage Erana led an army against the cult members in order to stop their ritual. The battle was nearly lost when Erana sacrificed herself to stop the summoning of Avoozl. Piotyr would be the only person to leave the cave of the Dark One alive. He brought the Staff of Erana with him, and planted it in the town square of Mordavia. A garden of flowers sprung up around it instantaneously.

To make sure that no one would ever try to summon Avoozl again, Piotyr decided to seek out the seven rituals of the Dark One so that he could destroy them. He was killed by a Wraith in the forest soon thereafter. When Piotyr died, he left behind his fiancée pregnant with his child. The citizens of Mordavia did not realize the Paladin had died on a noble quest and assumed that Piotyr had fled from his responsibility. When the child was born, the unmarried mother was cast out of her family in dishonor.
