Story (Post-Remaster)

Life on Versal

Delgrund was one of the four Grandmasters who helped Crimsonheart safeguard the Antellion on Versal. Crimsonheart's adopted son, Naricain, soon turned against his father after the death of his mother, Glona. Several decades later, Naricain began a campaign to take the Antellion. During this time, Lukan and Delgrund reported to Crimsonheart that they were receiving new reports about Naricain’s illicit activities daily and asked what could be done. Delgrund noted that Naricain was a fool, as he coveted the power of the Antellion, despite knowing first-hand the tragedy of seeking it. Lukan reminded Delgrund that Naricain was merely a boy who had lost his mother, and that his actions were how he was dealing with the loss. He then suggested giving Naricain time and then appealing to his wisdom, hopeful that he would come to his senses by then. However, Delgrund countered that it had been decades since he had run off, claiming that any senses he would have come to were long gone. He then told Lukan that Naricain wasn’t merely a troubled boy any longer, but a deeply disturbed man, one whose insidious plots had allowed him to be the first to seize a fragment of the Antellion in all the history of Versal. He then turned to Crimsonheart and asked what he would do as the protector of the Antellion. Lukan then began arguing with Delgrund, asking how he could expect Crimsonheart to take up arms against his own son. As the two continued bickering, Crimsonheart broke up their fight and explained that Naricain sought the Antellion to end the cycle of greed and destruction that had cost him his mother. He then ordered the two to resume their duties, promising to have a decision ready soon.

Battle of Crimsonwood Keep

Soon after, Crimsonheart decided that he, Subani, and the Grandmasters would take the Antellion to Maple World in order to keep it out of Naricain's hands. Some time after they arrived in Maple World, Lukan and a traveler arrived and claimed to have come from the future. After they warned that Naricain would soon attack the Keep, Crimsonheart ordered the Keep soldiers to prepare for battle. As Crimsonheart and the other Grandmasters began to head out to augment security around the Antellion, Delgrund noticed that Subani was deep in thought and told the boy to mind himself. He explained to Subani that he likely wouldn’t be able to succeed in persuading his brother if Crimsonheart couldn’t have brought himself to do it. Subani sadly told him that he had once been close to Naricain, whom he fondly called Naric, and wondered whether Naricain would stop if he were reminded those memories. However, Delgrund told him that obsession destroyed happy memories, and that Naricain only cared about the Antellion. As someone who had watched them grow up and viewed them as sons, Delgrund told Subani to remember that he and Naricain were different, and that they always had been, warning him that thinking otherwise would put him in grave danger. After the battle of Crimsonwood Keep, Delgrund arrived at the Keep with the surviving Krakians who had escaped Dr. Jang's corruption. Crimsonheart then decided that he would destroy the Antellion in order to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. He then turned to the Grandmasters and explained that he had tasks that he needed to entrust to them. He told Delgrund to watch over the surviving Krakians, whom he planned to send to a new, safe land in Maple World. Though the Krakians asked Crimsonheart whether they could stay in Krakia, as the roots of their entire civilization lay there, Delgrund explained that Dr. Jang’s corruption of the continent would prevent them from living safely, as the corrupted Krakians and Versalians still roamed the fallen land. Crimsonheart then apologized to Delgrund for keeping him away from Versal, to which Delgrund declared that Maple World would be his new home. Crimsonheart then used the Antellion to teleport Delgrund and the Krakians to a new land.

Legacy

Though little is known about it, Delgrund's influence was largely responsible in shaping the mysterious society, Afinas. As a result Afinas was aware about the existence of Subani, Naricain, and Versal.

Story (Pre-Remaster)

Delgrund was the Grandmaster Mage of Crimsonwood Keep and the predecessor of Grandmaster Rafael, who was responsible for stopping the Headless Horseman. Little is known about him, although it is speculated that he was the creator of a device known as the Mystic Astrolabe. According to Lukan, Delgrund would often say that anything was possible with great magic and sorcery.
