Gabriel Wind: A King's Tale

30 September 2008 · set down by Renavoid Rusyn

History finds Gabriel Wind to be the founder of Marind Bell although he is more often known in lore as the brave leader of the Berserkers, a well-known brotherhood of fearless warriors.

After Deathmarrow grew from the Earths and corrupted the peaceful Sage Fields, an area known now as Necrovion, the Berserkers united in order to withstand the new threat and also conquer a new land for themselves. Chapter II: As It Would Happen...
According to lore, Marind was a very beautiful young adolescent and also Wind's true love. However, soon after Gabriel Wind and Daniel Raven started their battles for territory, she was never heard from again. Raven’s code of ethics and morals never made him a suspect in Wind’s eyes, although the latter fought all the battles in her honor. Nothing more is known about Marind to date.

After his last great battle with Daniel Raven, which ended as a stalemate for the two, they came to a common agreement and split the Chaos Woods in almost two equal parts. Raven’s Western half is now known as Loreroot and has suffered only minor alterations in time.

Thus, Gabriel Wind finally had the territory in which he would build a Stronghold for his Berserkers. He had planned to cut down most part of the forest and build the strongest castle possible. Wind’s Gate was part of the original design and the contrast between it and the rest of the park’s fence and overall architecture is obvious. Chapter III: The Park
However, it is said that he had a vision in which Marind appeared to him and begged him to never fight again and to use his territory “as a safe haven for all those of kind hearts who needed a home”. Gabriel did as he was asked and changed the plans in order to create a park. Surprisingly, the Berserkers, men and women who never knew peace, agreed and supported their leader unanimously.

While creating the park, Wind also befriended the Angiens, majestic creatures who were enchanted by his new ideas of peace and order. The Angiens swore eternal allegiance to “all true hearts such as his” and aided Wind in transforming the Woods into a park. The Capitol, Wind’s Sanctuary, was entirely built by them, as a gift for Gabriel. With such a long building force by his side, Wind finished the construction of his park in no time.

After the last marble dale was set in place, the park was named Marind’s Bell and Gabriel Wind, the once courageous warrior, spent the rest of his life as King, dealing only with economical matters. Necrovion was still licking its severe wounds and did not represent a threat for a very large period of time. Nevertheless, Wind aided Raven economically in any way he found possible, as Loreroot was in construction and at war with Golemus Golemicarum, but he did not interfere directly in the war. Chapter IV: A King's Mind
He soon died of a broken heart as life without Marind was unbearable, his last words being a declaration of love. In his will he asked for “peace, order and understanding throughout the Realm” and left Jack Willow, his life long friend and comrade in arms, “to rule as King until we are to meet again”.

There are many stories in the realm, one more peculiar than the other, regarding why Gabriel Wind associated the word “Bell” to both Marind and the park but for now, this remains a mystery. Chapter V: Acknowledgements
