| Justin Benei Cermoon... Most know him as Justin. Some know him as Justin The Bard. Whatever he is called, it was once hard to find him without a smile and a song in mind. The travelling poet hasn't always had the same name or state of mind, however. Born from an Elven mother and a Human father, he and his sister, Judith, were forced to take care of each other at a young age due to their mother's terminal illness. Their father followed her into death after her own by leaping off of Suicide Cliff. Justin, being the older of the two, enrolled Judith in the local wizard academy and began traveling the world. He returned twenty years later to his old home. There he found Judith, but she soon killed herself in the same manner as her father. No one knows why. Broken at heart, but not in spirit, Justin began barding in the nearby inn, where he soon gained a reputation, but after travelling away for several months he was again unknown. Finding his old friends Stryder, the mighty warrior of the northern badlands, and Tatis, who had become a lich necromancer obsessed with power, he realized just how much things had changed. After returning from an adventure with Stryder, he seems to have become an entirely different person: No longer the happy-go-lucky bard he once was, but now another shadow in the dark corners of the inn. |
