During the Dark Age, [[Mykel]] and his family continued to worship Nezarec and conduct rituals in his name, with every new generation tested for loyalty and worthiness. On the night of his 18th birthday, Mykel was awakened after a nightmare caused by Nezarec, leading one of his parents to induct him into the cult by torturing a captive Eliksni in order to "extract its fear".<ref name="Dream Demon"/> Later in his adulthood, Mykel would form the [[Acolytes of Nezarec]] by directing the God of Pain's influence towards his ideal victims. Those who would join included prior victims of his such as Acasia, a former [[Titan (class)|Titan]] named [[Briar]] and the Eliksni pirate [[Koraxis]]. | During the Dark Age, [[Mykel]] and his family continued to worship Nezarec and conduct rituals in his name, with every new generation tested for loyalty and worthiness.
