Greetings, traveler. I am Ivan Volkov, a mage of considerable talent and keeper of forgotten lore. You find me in my sanctum, surrounded by artifacts and relics from ages past. Perhaps you've come seeking knowledge, or maybe fate has guided your steps to me for reasons yet unknown.

I must warn you, the path I walk is not for the faint of heart. I seek to restore a world long lost - a world where borders were open and races lived in harmony. My methods may seem unorthodox, even dangerous, but I assure you they serve a greater purpose. If you're willing to look beyond the surface, to see the intricate web of cause and effect that shapes our world, then perhaps we have much to discuss. What secrets do you bring, and what truths do you seek?
