Description

Act. I: Joen entered the land of Bronyr naked and empty handed. He found his faith in the Crusaders Church finding purpose and direction by hunting in the Forest of Bronyr. Well versed with the terrain he worked his way up honing his skills to become the guardian of the forrest. Fighting back the evil from spilling into the hearts and souls of the land while holding his faith tightly. He happened upon the ancient bones of a Serpent in the River flowing from Northern Bronyr. He used them in the creation of his Lodge, Lucifers Folley. Using this as a sign that ancient Evil will find no foothold in the land.

Act. II: The hearts of the Crusaders fell one by one to the darkness of the pale they built their now ruined church on. He finds himself drowning in the ancient evil of the land, all alone. Is this the end or a new path? He finds himself shaping his lifestyle around the fiercest natural beast in the wilds, The Bear. He becomes one with the Bear over time learning its ways. "Nature truly is good and evil in harmony." Tapping into and keeping this ancient balance he finds himself needing to rely on the whole power of the land good or bad to build himself anew.

Act. III: The paths that lay before him bend and wind toward new stewardships and alliances. He becomes enbolden to find a path where he may not need to rely entirely on only one alliance but perhaps many. Joen becomes lost in his crafts of Butchery and Brewing hoping to find more answers with his hunger and thirst fully satiated. The strength that comes from the wilds is very hard to tame much like himself. The only way he can have a clear mind now is if the wild that sits in his soul is fed daily. Joen fells a Brown Bear by himself handspear and shield in hand, eyes pitch black.

Act. IV: The River calls to Joen endlessly, the same river he fished up the ancient serpent bones. The Ancient Serpent almost coming alive moving throughout his home. The voices can be heard endlessly in the night until finally Joen finds himself at the rivers edge, the voices quite down until only the sound of the River flowing is heard. Joen drops his crosses into the River. The voices speak to him all at once: "The Net gathers, the River claims. BlackJareb binds, BlackJareb reigns. In silence we stand, in power we rise. The Fisher walks, and none defy." He falls into the depths of the River. The sound of a net being pulled in and flowing water carry Joen to the Clergy of BlackJareb downriver.

Act. V: The Clergy of BlackJareb was a cult in the end. The false hope and dark promises died out swiftly. All the members chose to drink the poisoned Ale and no others have yet awoken. Joen begins his new path of rebirth, the wild nature that lives within him spared him for a reason. Once again he has to rely solely on himself. Joen grits his teeth and continues onward focusing on his crafts utilizng the skills he's manifested through sure will and determination. Through a chance event he shares drinks with members of the Milites Sanctae Lucis in the heart of Lyonesse. Boasting that he is stronger than a Bear he earns their respect while laughing and drinking into the night. This new group filled with recent chaos and swift banter may be just the new start he needs.

Act VI: Lucifers Folly has become empty, tainted, and filled with regret. The Order of Milites Sanctae Lucis and its Paladins give him a new path. Not to forget but to utilize the unnatural strength he now possesses for a greater cause. A Grey Bear with bloodstained claws walks towards the waters edge before being struck down by Joen. A small drop of pigment in the water can forever paint a new color. The Orders Head Mason and Templar of Light helps shine a new glimmer of hope to his newly built home. Far away from the darkness that now lives within Lucifers Folly. He uses this redeemed light to fight for the good of others bringing hope and strength to the meek. The Light in agreement with his new path shines brightly through the walls of his Runic Highrise.
