Oooo very forbidding but also intrriguing ^__^ Very good work sir.
I only have one of two pointers...
Your use of descriptive language is beautiful but you need to reign in a bit to avoid sounding cliche...particularly the line "to make even the bravest soul wake in a cold sweat". There in nothing wrong with it as a sentence, but it is a little overly dramatic, pehaps even sensationlist.
Second, I don't know if this will apply in your further writing but here you tend to list things. I would say that both "torture, mutilation, abandonment and suffering" AND "strong, solid, refined" are both one word too long. There all awesome words, don't get me wrong, but again it does seem like your hammering the point home a little too hard.
In any case, this is a very promising start ^__________^ Well done!
