King Peregrin: Difference between revisions

'''King Peregrin''' ({{circa|1218}} – 1286) was the last [[Monarchy of Gallowmere|monarch]] of [[Gallowmere]]. The kingdom prospered under his reign until a [[Famine in Gallowmere|famine]] forced him to hire a new court magician - the evil sorcerer [[Zarok]]. Zarok manipulated the King using his magic until the day of the [[Battle of Gallowmere]] where Zarok's army of [[zombies]] and [[Shadow Demons|demons]] fought the King's Militia. Although the day was won by the King, his champion, [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]], was the first to fall in the battle, greatly embarrassing him. To save face, the King declared Sir Dan a great hero and attributed the day's victory to him. King Peregrin passed away not long afterwards, though not before designing an impregnable box that would house Zarok's nigh indestructible Shadow Demons.

 

A hundred years later, the King's ghost would aid his resurrected champion in a quest to defeat Zarok once and for all by helping him destroy the castle and the recently released Shadow Demons with it.

Peregrin ascended to the throne of Gallowmere when he was 15 after the sudden passing of his [[King Peregrin's father|father]]. For 50 years, Gallowmere thrived under Peregrin's rule until the year a terrible famine struck. The King tried everything he could to save his people, but the famine would not pass. He tasked his court magician, [[Mazok the Muddled]], to come up with a magical solution, but this backfired and resulted in the creation of a chicken-dragon monster known as the [[Jabberwocky]]. In the end, the King had no choice but to accept aid from a newcomer to his court, the sorcerer Zarok. Zarok did resolve the famine and used this fact to install himself as the King's new Court Magician. Under Zarok's counsel (and magical possession), the King would appoint [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] as his new champion.{{Bookref|Fates-Arrow}}
