Hello everyone, my name is Jacob and i am a Teller of tales. I have traveled to and from all of the worlds hearing tales of adventure and mishap. Most recently i was on the world of Mourning and i heard a Story that has appalled me and intrigued me at the same time. I was in the city of Khar Th'Sekt when i was approached by an Assassin of the arcane arts. He told me that he had a tale for me if i was interested. I am not accustom to hearing tales of an Assassin so i told him that i was very interested. He took a seat and told this tale to me. "It all started a long time ago. Around the time of Lex Talonis's downfall I was in Khar as an errant and i saw a guild crest that looked Promising. The crest was a White field with a Red Dragon layed upon it. I started to talk to the young Lady Destynalia Dragonscale about her guild and learn its ways. After a few hours of talking with the young Lady i asked if i could be privileged to join her guild. She accepted me as a petitioner and all went well for a while. A few years later i was again in Khar Th'Sekt when i met an adventurer who approached me and said, "Assassin would you be interested in fighting against the Maker of the Irekei race??" (Now a lot has changed since these days) Being an Aelfborn Assassin i said i would be more than happy for the vile dragon's forces needed to be destroyed. I left with the adventures for a long journey. We fought the forces of the Dragon for years. While there the dragon changed me and allowed me to see the truth about who i was. She changed me into a Dark skinned Irekei. I adopted the arcane ways and studied them for years to follow. Finally i returned to the world of Mourning where again i ended up in Khar Th'Sekt. (hehe i always seem to be in Khar i guess that�s why the dragon did what she did) Anyway i had taken on a new family name trying to Avoid the ones i once new. There was one who recognized me no matter how much i had changed. She told me i would still have a home with her and the guild if i still wanted it. I returned to the guild which was no longer in the desert but now in the green land. While there i was to Wed a Young lady who i had known since there days in Khar. To my unseeing Eyes there was a scandal in the midst and i was dragged into it. The Lord Marshall of my guild and this young lady were involved with each other but this young lady was going by an alias unknown to me but known to him. Lady Marshall suspected what was happening but nothing could ever be confirmed. For a while i didn't see what was happening but a friend of mine from when i was in Lex Talonis opened my eyes and i saw there hidden plans. I decided then that i would Foil there plans. Three days before my Wedding i told my king to inform my bride that i was being called to the front to fight. (Where my order came from i do not yet know) I also asked him to let her know i as going to miss our wedding and we would have to plan it for another day. Well apparently he never did cause when i came home for my Kings wedding i got the cold Shoulder from the one who was to be my bride. I then came up with the plan to Assassinate my king at his wedding in front of everyone. When i jumped him 3 of his followers realized what was happening and killed me before i could strike the final blow. Lady Marshall then Disappeared from the world and none truly know what happened to her. The Lord Marshall says she was killed but i know that is not the truth. Now the Lord Marshall and the young lady who was to be my bride are together (Her under her Alias) and i am in a new home killing him and his followers every chance i get. With those last words the Assassin slipped into the shadows and was gone from me. I still do not know his name and i fear i never will. Now i say to the people who wear that shield watch your backs for it seems your Lord Marshall is a Betrayer of friends and i would call him out in a second if i knew who it was. I will end this hear for i am angered at the Lord of this tale just by telling it and I do not wish to rant. Thank you all for listening to my tale and if i ever come across any other interesting ones i will share. Jacob the Story Teller |
