George Barracuda
Chief Scribe and Head Magistrate

Born in the northern island of Skjern , in the age when Sir Astary Pendragon was the Administrator of the City, George was the beloved son of a couple of Scribes. His childhood was happy with his Father and Mother who taught him how to become a wise young Scribe.

During all his childhood, George always had a good friend (more or less as old as he is) whose name was, and is, Griffin. By the age of 20 the two young men were allowed by their parents to become “Blood Brother”.

By the age of 22 however, George heard the call of the knowledge, so he greeted his parents and started for some travels around Gor. During one of these travels, the young man met the beautiful Lady Aamina, a 20 year old Free Women of the Scribe Caste in the City of Tor. George and Aamina returned together to the northern island of Skjern where they became Free Companions. A few months after their Ceremony unfortunately George’s mother died due to a heart disease, so she was unable to know that George and Aamina were expecting a son or a daughter, as they realized that a few weeks after George’s mother died.

The following months were very exciting as George and Aamina were very happy and busy: George was improving his position in the city helping his father and building a new Home for his new family, Aamina was taking care of preparing anything the incoming baby could need.

As said, those were happy and sunny days … but dark clouds were coming from the north … and one morning a huge groups of wild panthers raided the city. All the men were involved in the battle and they were able to push away the raiders ….but a few citizens were captured: 2 men and 3 women … and one of those women was Aamina.

George was not able to get any news about his Free Companion until 20 days later when the cut heads of the captured citizens were found in a barrel at the Skjern’s docks with a written message: “we will be back, submit or die!”

As Aamina was really close to give birth to her baby when she was captured George got quite crazy and suddenly burned the house he was building and left Skjern travelling around in cities and woods to understand if his baby was alive or not and to find those panthers that killed his beloved Lady.

Days followed the days, months followed the months and 5 years passed by and one day George was informed that a terrible Hurricane and Earthquake hit the beautiful Skjern, destroying it and killing the large part of its Citizens …. So George was informed how his father was finally allowed to meet his mother again and realized he had no family and no Home to come back to.

George decided to go on with his search and spent many other years in travelling around the world. 15 years after he left Skjern he was travelling in the Tahari region again, following a caravan of merchants and artists, when the caravan was attacked by bandits and George was able to escape but found himself lost in the desert … deep far south to Nine Wells … he walked for three nights… hiding himself during the day not to be buned by the desert sun … but on the fourth day he surely would have died if a Blue Lady did not find him. The Lady took care of him and brought him to the ancient and powerful Oasis of the Battle of Red Rock, where he was invited to join the Scribes Caste of the City and to become the Assistant Magistrate of the Oasis. Finally George found a new Home and many new Friends.

But the war between the Aretai People and the Kavars was not over and on one ugly windy day some enemies poisoned the water of the Oasis …. Many citizens died or got foolish …. But the Oasis survived …. Until the day a big desert wind storm and an earthquake hit it and covered its ruins with sands … only a few citizens survived, as they were able to escape, but the storm cancelled all the old roads across the desert, and as you know the Taharian People are not used to make maps of their territories…. Another search then started for George: while travelling to look for news about his baby …. He was also trying to find the road back to the ruins of Red Rock …. It took more or left 2 years before George was able to locate the old ruins and, with the help of a little but strong group of beloved Friends, he rebuilt the outpost in the Oasis of the Battle of Red Rock.

In these days George is the Chief Scribe and Head Magistrate in the Oasis of the Battle of Red Rock … the city is growing up …and George received the best two gifts he would have ever prayed for: he heard that somebody, in the northern region is rebuilding a village in the island of Skjern … and is preparing a long travel to visit it … but the best gift was given to George by the Priest Kings a few days ago, when a young Man, who had never been able to meet his parents being grown up in a panther’s camp, came to Red Rock …. carrying a special rose … a rose that never dies … a rose that George could not misunderstood …. Aye! That young Man revealed to be George’s lost baby …. And now George is learning how to be a father for his son.

May you always have water in your waterbags! Be well.
