A short history: Jefferson Gray and the Prince of Salkamar.

[Kugar]

((Given the content of this post I though here would be the best place for it. After lurking over the forums and looking back over the past, I came across some reminders of the best times I had in this game. I've had many characters over the years but with my Character Jefferson Gray I tried to keep everything I did secretive and to a developing storyline that could shake things up a little. Since I won't have any time to play this game seriously if at all any more, I've decided to post this here for anyone that's interested in getting a little insight into how the character and events around him evolved. I still like reading the forums and reading about the stories of Gobaith, and in return thought I'de share some enjoyable times of my own. There is more so depending on how well this is recieved I'll post some more. Fareeba's))


Jefferson arrives in Gobaith after years of mysterious leave of absence. This is when he received the 'key' and his mission on the island.

'The Key' from the mysterious stranger on Sirani isles, manifests itself to Jefferson (Quote taken from "A Bloody Insanity")

Jefferson leans by a tall tree on the isles of Sirani, a cold gust of wind emits from the ocean, bellowing and blowing the dead leaves of old wildly about in the air. His blank, yet contemplative stare follows the leaves and debris, as they seem to portray a disorganized and conflicted dance.
A fire burns before him, his eyes flickering different shades of grey in the varying lights, holding a clearly dark presence, and somber air about him.
Stroking loose strands of hair from his face, he lifts a hand and runs a finger along the exposed diamond scar on his forehead. As he does so, he soon narrows his tired and glazed eyes, thoughts of a final solution to destroy the bearers of fire and Djironnima soon burdened his mind.
"The one who stands, boldly and graceful in black... So simple to see a snake in the tall grass.."
Jefferson did not underestimate his enemy, he knew all too well of the powers the high mages of the order held. But it was within this respect for his opponent, that lead him to examine the bearers with many watchful eyes from afar, strengthening a firm plot to encroach their defense.
His knowledge of the Varshikari castle's existance, and the infamous mana well that it held, aswell as the ongoing conflict between Varshikari citizens and the bearers, lead him to believe that it's curse had overthrown it's current occupants. Though it would seem his grudge would stem from elsewhere. To the times of the war..
Turning his head then slowly to the side, a grim smile soon follows, but disappears almost instantly. Placing a hand in his pocket he then brings out an old parchment with several lines drawn on, a parchment he had held for some time now..

It was the 'key' that the robed one he had met previously on Sirani, gave to Jefferson on the days that lead to the Salkamaerian invasion. With still no clear concept of it's use, glowered over it with a relaxed sigh. It was then that the enchanted parchment began to emit light, then lighten again as it did once before. The four holes in the parchment began to burn an ash into themselves, soon followed by two new lines, connecting them. Baring the shape of one half of a diamond...


Arching his mouth to a weak smile, he tilts his head "Well... Isn't that 'odd'.

It all began to make sense. The 'key' that he held was an interpretation of the island, and allied locations upon it..

"Troll's Bane, Varshikar, the lizard temple and Hellbriar.." He thought to himself.

"Anarius, Djironnima, Taliss and Verdazar...

War, war, everywhere..." He whispers to the wind.

He knew all too well of the Overlords loss of sanity, yet it was with this seed of chaos that would grip Jefferson's attention, and interest. He welcomed it gladly...

A replacement for the Prince

((After all that the course of Jefferson's own story changed dramatically, specifically dabbling with Demons and squabbling with Elijah , but I think I posted enough for now. Thanks for reading. ))
