Jax Champion of the Rock (#2229)

Owner: 0xFf39…110a

Jax Champion of the Rock

Jax grew up troubled in his home life, in a small - four house village known as The Rock, named after the cliffside that it sits on. An exaggerated temperament caused him a lot of distress when trying to go through his day to day activities. Living on a farm the majority of his young life was a dual-edged sword. Outfitting him with the strength and size needed to carry out his strenuous tasks, but never allowing him to learn about the world and what it had to offer. Tired of his monotonous life, he set out, ambitiously knowing he had more to offer to the world than just cabbage and beetroot. Nomadically, he traveled the land - north to south, east to west. Learning the ways of other people's culture and beliefs, he was fascinated with how much life the world was filled with. Nothing truly fascinated him more than the men and women of BattleMage Mountains. The pure knowledge and immense strength of the people was truly something to behold. How could one be so smart to cast spells, yet so powerful to wield a mace with one hand. Not well versed in spells or even knowledge in that matter, he wanted to learn more about them, so he spent 3 years living in the mountains living as the battlemages did. Living in the cold was hard given that he grew up in the low lands of The Wild, yet he persisted. Years went by as he took on tasks set by the masters of the mountains, ridding the world from as much evil as possible. As Jax continued to complete these tasks and listen to the lessons of the battlemages, his anger and temperament from his youth began to fade, and he was becoming a truly honorable man. One tasks in particular however, is where he would gain his title and life long companion, Lucius. Goblin Town has been brooding some nasty trouble makers and Jax was sent to find out what could be done. Goblin kind don't take too kindly to humans, especially ones in line the battlemages' beliefs; Unlawfulness was a much more simple and exciting way to live for them. Upon arriving Jax soon found out, from word of mouth, who was causing grief in the surrounding villages. Gublok, a rogue goblin bandit and his crew harassing and hazing a young boar. Jax didn't want to cause a scene or fight in such a highly populated area, so he waited until they left town to follow them on the road at night. After nightfall, Jax set free the boar that was tied to a post and then soon followed the goblins into a patch of trees nearby - presumably their hideout. Without hesitation, Jax jumped in the middle of them with his massive poleaxe, thrashing it around with pure ferocity. Finishing off all but two, Gublok and a lowly henchman, he was soon winded and needed a breather. Gublok took his chance to strike, when he was blindsided by something fast. Knocking the wind out of him, it turned to the henchman, it charged, slamming him in to a tree and killing him instantly. Gublok and Jax were confused as to what just happened. Coming to a realization, Jax made it out to be the boar that he freed not too long ago. Together they fight and finish off Gublok and fall to the ground completely exhausted. As Jax stands and begins to walk back to the Mountains, the boar seemingly begins to follow, just far enough to not cause any alarm. Jax hears him, turns around and beckons him over. Contemplating what to do, he decides to take him along as his companion and return to the battlemages. After hearing all the events that happened that night and all of the prior quests set by the battlemages, they named him Jax, Champion of the Rock, to commemorate all that he has given.
