Part One: The Travels of Lubalar & The Slaying of a Great Cockatrice
Lubalar lived in The Wild, at the border of The Fey. He was a large, strong, bold man, though his days of warriordom were long past him. In his retirement,he had constructed a small hut for himself, not too far from civilization, nor too close. He loved to tend to his gardens and make excursions to nearby villages when help was needed. Whether saving a cat from a tree, helping a villager move homes, or driving savage wolves off a farmer's herding land, Lubalar was always around to help. In his free time Lubalar tended to many creatures. His pet dog, Cerberus, was among his favorite. He had found Cerberus as a young pup on one of his olden quests. Lubalar allowed owls to nest in his roof, crows and rabbits to eat his crop and even snakes to burrow deep underneath his stead. At night Lubalar would sit on his porch, pipe in hand, reminiscing the olden days of his quests. For Lubalar longed to once again take up arms to battle, but most of all, Lubalar wanted to partake in an adventure. So, when one day a band of warriors showed up to his home, requesting aid on their journey to vanquish the Golden Cockatrice*, Lubalar did not hesitate to accept.
The following recountment of Lubalar's Tale is vague and sewn from many legends and myths, to hear of his true quest one must find him themselves:
Bringing only his loyal Cerberus, a sword, and the armor on his back, Lubalar set forth with the company. They traveled many weeks through snowy mountain, scorching plains and thick wood, before arriving at The Blue Wizard Bastian, the most recent scene of the Cockatrice’s attacks. The wizards there had managed to expel the foul beast, but inflicted no serious damage. The band gathered what information they deemed useful and set off for The Gate to The Seventh Realm. During their travels Lubalar grew close to many of the other warriors, but to none he grew more closely to than Dorian, a young warrior from The Great Citadel.They talked of Lubalar’s old quest and of Dorian’s great feats. They hunted, sang and journeyed together. In a way, Lubalar become a father-like figure to Dorian. After many more weeks of travel the company arrived at the gate. It was a dark and gloomy place that none seemed to keen to stay at for long. They set up camp and began to patrol the mystical area, in search of the great creature. On the seventh day two members of the company came running into camp. As they collapsed to the floor and were tended too they began to tell the rest of the band what they had witnessed.They had indeed seen the great beast. They intended to flee and arrive again with the rest of the company, however the five of them were forced into a head on encounter with the creature. In the battle that pursued they had managed to sever two of the cocktice’s claws and expose a scale on it's neck. Unfortunately, the trade-off was the lives of three great warriors. Among them was Dorian, whom had bought time for the two survivors to escape at the expense of his own life. Upon hearing this news, Lubalar was devastated and vowed to slay the beast himself. Against the advice of his fellow warriors, Lubalar sneaked out of camp at nightfall. After hours of wandering, at the break of Dawn, Lubalar spotted The Golden Cockatrice. He charged at it, fully expecting his demise. However, as the cockatrice veered it’s head toward Lubalar, it felt a piercing blow to the side of its neck. It screeched as it fell limp to the ground. Lubalar had felled the beast. After that day Lubalar has patrolled the Runiverse in search of a holy relic that could bring Dorian back to life, The Orb of Agnor.
*Of the Golden Cockatrice: The Golden Cockatrice was a great winged beast that plagued the Runiverse. When it could it would pick off farm animals (and sometimes their farmers) to feast on. When agitated the Golden Cockatrice was capable of taking out small villages and even a wizard or two. It's close relative the Character #3 still roams the Runiverse...
The Triple Crowned Cockatrice is pictured above.
