Today, a new strange tale was being told in every tavern and home in Muspel. The story seems to be about a man from Madina, named Jessie Duron.

As the tale goes, some thirteen years ago, a ship carrying only nineteen passengers arrived in a Madina port. One of the travelers introduced himself as Jessie Duron, a knight from the Kingdom of Wetham, who had been rescued by his two brothers from an Assassin's prison. Fearing for their brother's life, the two had sent their younger brother on a ship away from the colonies with eighteen of their best men. When the young knight had introduced himself, he was immediately offered a position as a knight in the region of Paisland (Which at that time was controlled by Madina) The Knight accepted the position, even though the position held risk. In order to get to Paisland at that time, one had to go through rouge lands, and even when Jessie and his men tried to avoid the roving bands of thugs, they were caught and thrown in prison. Even so, the brave Jessie escaped within two days, and returned to Madina triumphant, making him a well known name in the kingdom. As time went on, Jessie's fame increased as he won many battles and protected the innocent from the evil of the wilds. Soon, he was given Lordship of Paisland, and given a special job by the Grand Dodge himself. He was to infiltrate the underground, which was growing at an alarming rate, and he was to identify the traitors if he was able, and warn the dodge when the rebellion was coming. He accepted the job, and within a month, he was ready to set in motion a plan that was to destroy the traitors. But he was betrayed, as one of his most trusted allies was a supporter of the underground, and the young Lord did not know this. She reported to the high judge, who was in the underground's pocket, that Jessie was the leader of the Underground. When both Jessie and the Grand Dodge resisted, the traitor tried to assassinate Jessie while he slept, but the experienced warrior defeated the two-faced traitor, and threw her out of his region. Sadly, even with the Grand Dodge on his side, the High Judge still exiled the young Lord from Madina. A month later, Jessie would die in a duel with the traitor, and his name would go down forever in shame as a traitor of Madina. But his sacrifice would not be in vain. Before he was exiled from the land, he told a trusted friend his plan to destroy the underground. After his death, his friend would go on and crush the underground, gaining all the glory of doing so, but he would forever remember his good friend, who died saving Madina from Civil War

And That is the Tale of Jessie Duron, the Martyr.
