Solt's lore:
Solt wandered his village. A village now destroyed by a group of mercenaries that invaded his home. He was a young child of only 8 years; he watched helplessly as they raided and murdered everyone around him. Solt was severely injured, escaping with his life only because his father saved him and ordered him to run away. Now he was back and searched desperately for his family, for anyone from his village who might still be alive. Solt felt weak, his injuries drained him of his lifeblood. As images of the violence and gore he witnessed flashed through his mind, he collapsed in the mud. Dizzily he looked up and saw a brilliant light. The Knight standing over him carried a sword as large as a grown man. His figure shone bright. The sunlight reflected off the golden armor, casting the Knight in a Heavenly light - it was his final thought before passing out.
-
Solt woke, disorientation settling in. He was confused, alone in a room he didn't recognize. He heard light footsteps, someone was coming. The Knight entered the room. This was the same Knight Solt remembered seeing before losing consciousness. "Who are you? Where am I?" Solt asked, trying not to sound afraid. The Knight spoke, "I am a Ser Kumfrence, a Knight from Goobe Kingdom. I found you after your village was destroyed and brought you here. We are at an inn not far from your village." Solt stared at the Knight a moment then asked if any others were found. "You were the only survivor." The Knight's words were like a punch to Solt's chest. He wanted to cry but he had to be brave, or at least pretend to be. "I'm alone," Solt whispered. "You will come with me but for now you must rest and heal," the Knight said, "We will soon be headed to Goobe Kingdom." Solt watched as Ser Kumfrence left the room. A Knight, he thought to himself, a brave warrior. Solt decided he would follow this Lala Knight and learn what he could from him
-
As time passed, Solt grew into a strong teen. He underwent the same training that all the soldiers of the Goobe Kingdom practiced. At only fifteen years, he was already as big as a man. His arms and shoulders showed the intensity of his training and lent to his incredible strength. Each night, after the long day's training was done, Solt would sit with Ser Kumfrence and listen as the Knight spoke of his adventures and the lessons he learned throughout his life. Of how being a knight was not only about skill in fighting but more about honor and helping others. Through these lessons, Ser Kumfrence instilled in Solt sympathy and empathy and a determination to protect the weak from suffering, just as this Knight had done for him. Solt had decided he would join the Holy Knights.
-
Still more time passed and Solt was now a young man. Ser Kumfrence had taken to giving Solt the nickname "Girth" due to his size and mass. Solt was bigger and stronger than any average man. He had also entered into the Order of Knights and was beginning to take up quests for the kingdom. Quests of protection. Slaying beasts that attacked and preyed on citizens or guarding the people during dangerous trips. He defended villages from attacking bandits and always protected those who could not protect themselves.
-
Throughout the years and quests, Solt had proven himself to be a man of strength and will, but most of all honor. A man Ser Kumfrence was proud of. An old but still viable Knight now, Ser Kumfrence enjoyed what time he and Solt spent together. Solt was grateful to him and when they quested together, Solt told the knight of his own life. But Solt's favorite tales were those already knew. Tales of quests and adventures, of the battles he fought alongside his most trusted friend.
-
During one fierce battle, Solt & Ser Kumfrence fought against an army trying to claim a fortress protected under the rule of the Goobe Kingdom. This battle would prove to be a significant point in Solt's life. They fought alongside the Holy Knights of the Goobe Kingdom to defend the fortress. Solt and Ser Kumfrence found themselves side by side in the middle of the battlefield. They were outnumbered and soon became surrounded by the enemy. This, however, encouraged Solt to fight harder.
-
Solt swung is blade and fell multiple enemies at once. Having become the fiercest warrior of the Goobe Kingdom, these foes were no match for him. Even outnumbered a dozen to one they fell to his blows. The enemy saw this threat and began to focus their numbers against him. Still he battled on, but alas, Solt was struck across his left eye with a blade, another slashing his leg. Solt fell to the ground. He looked up and saw Ser Kumfrence still standing, still bringing down the enemies dozens at a time as he had done. Solt watched as the enemy forces, believing Solt was no longer the biggest threat, changed strategy and focused on the Lala Knight. He saw the spear that struck the Knight from behind. It was as if time slowed as he watched Ser Kumfrence collapse to the ground in front of him. His friend, his mentor, his brother Knight lay still before him and everything went quiet.
-
Solt shook as his senses came back to him. With a yell full of the fiery rage he felt inside, Solt stood and slowly walked towards the enemy soldiers that still stood, that still breathed. None would escape his wrath. Blade in hand he slayed all those around him until only he was left standing amongst his foes. Breathing heavily, he turned to the Lala Knight. The pain for his friend and exhaustion from battle overwhelmed him and he fell to his knees. He crawled over to Ser Kumfrence and placed his hand over his friend's wound to try and stop the bleeding. Fearing hope was lost his world faded around him and he collapsed.
-
Solt woke to find himself laying in a bed. His head was ringing and his body cried out in pain as he moved. Memories flooded him and he felt the burn of loss in his chest. A low breathing caught his attention and he turned to see a figure laying in a bed beside his. Lifting himself to get a better view, he saw it was Ser Kumfrence. The Lala Knight lay there asleep and very much alive. His friend was covered in blood soaked bandages just as he, even so, a smile came across Solt's face. They survived. He sighed in relief as he drifted back into an exhausted sleep.
-
After a time, Solt was summoned by the King. As he entered the throne room, he saw his fellow Knights in attendance and Ser Kumfrence standing beside the King. Stopping before the King he knelt, placing his right hand to his heart. The King knew all that Solt had done. "You have proven yourself to the kingdom. In honor, loyalty and heart. Rise Solt, take your place as Knight Guardian." Solt looked up at the King as he rose, meeting his eyes in respect. "I am but a humble Knight. This is a great honor, Your Majesty." Knight Guardian was a ranking of high esteem, second only to the Grand Knight, which was held by Ser Kumfrence. Solt looked to his mentor. With a great smile Ser Kumfrence said, "An honor you are worthy of." Solt bowed is head to his friend and smiled back.
