Cool, nothing is clear, and everyone died. Fine.

Dirty, sweaty, and with bloodstained hands, Haren sat beside his uncle's corpse, staring into the void. After about ten minutes, he snapped out of it and glanced at the body of the enormous demon and then at a dozen more corpses of people. He sighed heavily and began to replay in his mind the events that had occurred about half an hour ago. The demon they encountered turned out to be too strong. Only Haren survived, but he didn't care. For the past few years, the mage hadn't given a damn about what would happen to him. In his short life, he had seen enough to realize that this world was a real piece of crap, and no matter how hard you tried or what you did, you were still going to die. And it didn't matter if it was at twenty or a thousand years old. Furthermore, Haren didn't believe in an afterlife, which only made things worse. Having realized all this and convinced that there was only one way out of this trap called life, Ellan simply wanted to hang himself, but he was horrified to find that he couldn't take his own life. However, he also didn't want to live. Neither living nor dying. It felt like a bad joke. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Haren indulged in worldly pleasures, spending his family's inheritance, but after some time, he suddenly realized that wine and women no longer brought him as much joy as they used to, but rather worsened his already deplorable mental state. Escapism failed. Haren spent days on end in his ancestral castle, staring out the window and thinking about the past, when life didn't seem so bleak and hopeless. His father died several years ago, and his mother, as a result of a failed experiment, when he was about six years old. The elder Ellan was obsessed with magic, artifacts, and various experiments. One of them eventually killed him. From childhood, Haren watched his father work every day, but despite this and the teachers his father hired for him, the younger Ellan never became a good mage. Average abilities, unwillingness to learn or do anything at all, and a habit of abandoning whatever he started played a role in Haren ultimately becoming nobody. This situation only made things worse. Moreover, the inheritance would soon run out, and the prospect of eating garbage and begging on the street did not appeal to Haren very much. When Barion – an artifact hunter, his maternal uncle – came to visit Enclave and offered the mage to go with him to the dark lands near Velderan, Ellan readily agreed because there was nothing else to do. For the first half-year, everything went relatively well; Barion and his people, along with Haren, successfully found what they were looking for and didn't encounter any serious trouble until today. The mage had no illusions and always mentally prepared himself for the worst, so this situation hardly affected what remained of his feelings.
“If I return to Velderan alive, I will try to join the Border, although why would they need someone as useless as me?” thought Haren and got up from the ground, walking towards the city.

chainmail that restores health (relic type)

He stole the idea!1

I noticed that Nebok always takes Subjugation if he's a mage. It's clear what his preferences are.

Otherwise, it wasn't clear before.

If you replace some of the nouns with others, you'll get my autobiography and a forecast for the future.

And what date is the start, by the way?

I’ll take a look at the quest when I’m ready.

Approximately how many quests should be ready? 50% plus 1 forum member?

No, I’ll decide for myself.

So, who do we have left? Ment, Arandor, Alex, and possibly Tox and Lock?

Noticed that Nebok always takes Subjugation if he's a Mage. It's clear what his preferences are.

Not always.

Yes, Shushuk didn’t have one.

Two out of five didn't have it.

And they are both dead.
