Major
Life Events
Early
Life
Jason
was born on Quetz 28, 10985 in the city of Demos in the Perlic
Empire on the island continent of Coronial.
Awakening
Jason
was an outspoken proponent of democracy. This irritated the Emperor
Basil Perlic, the current ruler of Coronial. In 11005, the emperor
started to round up the malcontents. He opened the coliseum and
started to set the political malcontents against several different
wild animals.
On Jazzuary 2, 11005,
Jason and the others from Demos are captured and taken to the
coliseum. They are put into the coliseum on the 8th and forced
to fight fierce raptors. Soon, Jason was the only one left with
the raptors toying with him. The pack leader finally leapt at
Jason for the killing blow. Rather than fleeing, Jason met the
attack head-on. No one was as surprised as he was when the lead
raptor clawed him and he survived due to a hard rocky armor that
had spontaneously grown on him. The raptors shrank away from the
newly Awakened Imrhys as a ring shudder rattled the whole island
continent. A volcano erupted from the space where Jason was standing.
Lava started to fill the coliseum, and the spectators fled. Feeling
responsible for the raptors, Jason created large rocks underneath
them and freed them from the coliseum. Jason was engulfed in the
red hot lava, but was protected by the rocky hard armor. He swam
out of the lava. Once out of the lava, he shed his rocky form
and fled into north.
The
Raptors
Emperor
Basil Perlic sent soldiers to track down and kill the newly Awakened
Imrhys. Jason is caught sleeping, but the raptors who he had saved
from the volcano attack the soldiers, saving Jason’s life.
Toppling
the Perlic Empire
Jason
rallied the population under the name the Stone Rook and led them
in a revolution against Basil Perlic. The Perlic Empire fell on
Santil 11, 11006.
Training
with Daveed
Kerkove,
the Duke of Erickdom from the Zierathan Alliance, found the Stone
Rook and led the young Imrhys to Hunt where he was apprenticed
to Daveed. Jason brought his pride of raptors with him.
Ambrose
and the Valcepton
As
his original raptors started to die, the Stone Rook decided to
do more for their descendents. He searched for one of the Turhys
who had originally created the Animen. The Rook finally found
Ambrose, the Father of the Ferhys, in the Forest of Zierath. Ambrose
taught him and helped him transform the raptors from beasts into
sentient beings named the Valcepton.
Democracy
Fifty
years after his leaving, the Stone Rook returned and found Coronial
in chaos. Dozens of warlords had set themselves up throughout
the land. He convinced four city-states – Demos, Hard Rock,
Cago, and Luther to start a republic. He is elected the first
president. He serves for three terms, and then pulled away to
make room for others. He remained active in politics, and two
hundred years later, he became president again. He is elected
on-and-off for hundreds of years.
Lemark
In
12832, the Stone Rook drives several vampires off his island and
trails them back to Lemark Island, a small island between Kerkovia
and Deanne. More importantly, the father of the Imiati, Gyshouto
himself, was on the island. Kerkove contacted DeeDee, Czarina
of Deanne, and the Stone Rook, ruler of the Stone Rookery. They
coordinated a massive attack on the island. On Ronolom 1, the
combined forces of Kerkovia, Deanne, and the Stone Rookery invaded
Lemark Island. Almost every vampire on the island was destroyed.
Gyshouto was killed by a crossbow bolt shot by DeeDee, and Kerkove
destroys Gyshouto’s first children – Brymiel and Allisindra.
The
Fourth Gnarrhys War
In
13,708, the Fourth Gnarrhys War starts, and the Stone Rook is
in the midst of it. The first three books - Castle Zierath,
The Basalt Mace, and The Stone Dees - cover this
time period.
