sometime in the year 800AD a band of viking traders where travailing across the Persian desert, when they where attacked by an evil force that had the ability to bring darkness to the sky and reap insanity upon its victims. the demon attempted to possess the tribes leader but failed when the shaman performed an exorcism trapping the demon into a box, the shaman knowing that the creature would not stay bound in this box rushed quickly to an Arab trading camp asking what the name of this demon was frightened the Arabs just simply shouted Oroan! Oroan!. the shaman then spent eight weeks without sleep carving and shaping a box out of solid obsidian. On it he carved the name of the demon Oroan and a warning to any who may let curiosity come over them that to open this box would bring death and destruction to the world.
unknowing that the power of the beast was much stronger than the magic he had he thought that this box would surely bind the creature for eternity along as nobody where to open it. this was shown not to be true when a hundred years to the day the demon was unleashed on the village of Valcal wiping out all but a young twelve year old boy who seemed to be immune to the demons power the boy struggled and thought with the entity using all his rage finally managing to force the demon back into the box in which it came. knowing that the box alone would not hold the creature the boy worked hard solid for a month to dig a whole so deep that he believed the creature would never be able to escape asking the help of neighboring towns foundry owner they put the box to the bottom of the pit and poured 8 gallons of molten steel upon it encasing it for eternity or so they thought.
the year is 1820 and a group of intrepid archeologist explorers heard from a local of the legendary damned village of Valcal where it was believed an ancient evil had been buried a thousand years ago. the archeologist scoffed at the idea but to humor the locals decided to go look simply with the intention to prove that it was simply a old folk tale. the group excavated on this site for three years in total finding amazingly preserved viking artifacts but no evidence of any ancient evil until on the last day when most of the equipment had been pack up a young laborer was still digging in a hole struck something that sounded metallic after digging around the shape he found that it was a perfect cube of solid steel. it took all twenty of the men and three horses they had borrowed from the nearby village to hoist up the block the archeologists where truly stump and called for a ship to take it back to England right away for analysis. on its arrival it brought up even more questions and stumped many more experts in there fields until they just all agreed in must be some sort of ornamental or spiritual artifact and that is how it was described on displayed in the natural history museum.
it was left there either on display or moved into storage until an inquisitive curator suggested that it would maybe be worth taking a core sample from the block to see if there was anything within it. the head of the museum after long deliberation decided to try out what had been suggested but directed that it should be done carefully and slowly so not to damage either the block or anything that may lie within the block. they started the procedure gradually making there way through until they almost came to the center and the museum head noticed a change in the drilling sound he screamed stop stop. they pulled out the drill piece to see what had been found to find black dust upon the piece this sealed it they decided for the sake of knowing what is within the block they must somehow open it up. days and nights passed hours of hard work blood sweat and tears where shed until they final managed to pry open the block to find within it a solid obsidian casket marked with ancient viking runes. before the box could be research and translated any further the box mysteriously disappeared.
that is until now.
