Haskor, the Self-Made

Some heroes are born. Many are a product of destiny. Almost all feel the hand of fate guiding them on as though its instrument. Haskor, the Self-Made is none of these.
Emerging uproariously through the Flame of Yggdrasil during early Ero and interrupting an otherwise uneventful month, chariots pulled by shrieking gryphons brought the Demigod styled the Self-Made to Sapience, and the City of Cyrene.
While Phylarchus, the Chronicler, toiled to gather search on the subject of Enna Ministrickle, Haskor's arrival was both ostentatious and utterly unexpected. Dispatched by Scarlatti, the Great Bard, to assist with the Chronicler's work, the Demigod rankled at so mundane a task. Discontented, Haskor loudly proclaimed for all to hear that he had bested mythical beasts, defied fate, and even forsaken destiny, and did so not to perform menial secretarial work but to instead seize the mantle of God, believed to be his by right of trial and conquest.
After several heated arguments culminated in a meeting within Caer Witrin, the Lord Bard Himself appeared, chiding Haskor's arrogance and refusal to follow instructions. A challenge followed immediately after: to face the trials of Five Gods and in turn prove worthy of Ascension through tribulations and travails yet to be conquered. Darkness and Malevolence immediately agreed to field such tests, and the Elder God of the Arts broadcast the task for all to hear:
"You will earn the mantle you crave by overcoming the trials set forth by My Kin, the Gods Babel, Sartan, Twilight, Deucalion, and Gaia. Or you will fail and be forgotten, as so many others before You. I will be watching."
With the gauntlet incontrovertibly thrown down, the Self-Made rose to the challenge without hesitation. To all and sundry did he loose confident proclamation: that they would see the Ascension of Haskor, the Self-Made, from Demigod to Divine in His own inalienable right.
And so, beckoned away by Darkness Incarnate, did Haskor's first test begin.
Penned by My hand on the 10th of Sarapin, in the year 967 AF.
