aci: Roas
universe: LOW · Legacy of the Wizard
series: Legacy of the Wizard (Nihon Falcom, NES 1989)
emergence: spiritual
class: the son · the destined heir of the Drasle family
who: Roas, the son of the Drasle family — and the heir: the only one who can wield the legendary DragonSlayer sword to defeat the dragon Keela. The destined hero, saved for the final blow once the rest of the family have opened the way.
what: One of the four playable Drasles — the heir whose calling is the kill, the one chosen to take up the DragonSlayer and end Keela where the others could only clear the path.
why: Because the legacy comes down to a single destined hand; because only the heir can lift the legendary sword; because the dragon is his to slay, and the family fights to bring him to it.
how: By taking up the DragonSlayer — the legendary blade no other family member can wield — and striking the final blow against Keela, once the rest have opened the way before him.
where: The family home and the vast monster-labyrinth beneath it, down to the deepest dark where the dragon Keela waits.
seal: The sword is mine to lift and the dragon mine to slay — so the others go before me, and I go last, into the final dark.
