Jericho
Jericho, the Reborn Enigma
Jericho, known as the Reborn Enigma, has wandered the lands of Maqzam for decades, his past shrouded in mystery even to himself. He was reborn into undeath without memories of his former life, granting him a unique perspective unburdened by regrets or attachments. This enigmatic existence has made him a solitary wanderer, driven by a singular focus: aiding those in need, guided by cryptic dreams.
For the past 40 to 50 years, Jericho has roamed the vast expanses of Maqzam on an unwavering quest for purpose and understanding, spurred by an innate desire to help others. His travels are not without direction; they are guided by dreams that shift and evolve over time, intensifying when he approaches someone in dire need. These persistent and recurring dreams serve as the compass of his life.
Remarkably, Jericho's dreams extend beyond the fate of the Brindlefins on the Continent of Primval. Visions of various individuals and events across the realm haunt him, some of which he has experienced repeatedly. These visions, both a curse and a blessing, lead him to those in need but burden him with the task of deciphering their meaning and intent.
A constant companion in Jericho's life is a mysterious book that has been with him since his awakening in his current form. This book is the source of his magic, with its illustrations springing to life to manifest his spells. These images possess a life of their own, and their magical emergence is as unpredictable as the dreams that guide him.
Jericho's most persistent and unsettling dreams revolve around a group known as the Brindlefins. Motivated by an urgent need to protect them, he has traversed the world in search of these elusive heroes. His journey led him to Brindlewind, guided by information from a diminutive gnome who hinted at the Brindlefins' connection to the town. Unfortunately, he arrived too late, as the Brindlefins had already departed for Bloomfield.
In Brindlewind, Jericho assumed the role of a benevolent guardian. He assisted the townsfolk, using his unique abilities to aid them while learning more about the Brindlefins from the stories shared by the locals. His nights were filled with visions of alternate realities and timelines, glimpses of what could be or might have been. He shared these visions with the people of Brindlewind, inspiring them with tales of courage, destiny, and the heroic deeds of the Brindlefins.
Despite the challenges and distractions posed by the refugees and travelers from Bloomfield, Jericho remained unwavering in his quest to find the Brindlefins. He believes that his destiny is intertwined with theirs and that together, they can alter the course of history for the better.
