BIOGRAPHY OF A MARTYR

[Vilebranch 410]

 

 

"  O Blessed Martyrs, deliver us from pain and toil, 
Just as thee suffered, so must we,
O Blessed Martyrs, guide us to the Grace of Our God,
  Just as you were lost, so are we.  "
AMEN

                    Per the virtuous request ob His Eminence, James Cardinal Rhosmark, 

I have endeavored to record the valiant agh pious life ob Gob Stabbasniffa. A goblin ob great renown agh greater piety; to whom this humble servant was unacquainted, yet I must say feel a great kinship towards. His life, alike many stories ob martyrs, is one ob equal sorrow as joy. Yes, JOY. For by men such as him can we glimpse the heavens for which we are bound. That he would submit to such agony and torment should be proof enough ob what avails us by the ALMIGHTY LORD's side. Life everlasting agh joys unending.

To my brothers in faith, I hope that such an account can bring you closer to the lives ob the Martyred Saints adorning your castle walls. ST. Kristoff agh ST. Wilfriche ob Hanseti, ST. Nicolas ob New Reza, agh the great many amongst our Blessed in the Skies who have been martyred in their faith. To my brothers in KRUG's blood, I challenge thee to read agh find no honor in the life ob this most esteemed warrior. For I assure you, you shall find a most familiar story. A story which draws to mind the lives ob our ancestors, many ob which have tragically passed in similar fashions. Dying in equally if not bloodier a fashion as our late Gob. For it is not just our fate as canonist Kruggites to die as martyrs, but it is our very fate as sons ob KRUG all.

Gob Stabbasniffa was born in the year 1939 from uncertain parentage. At the young age ob ten he ventured out to the lands ob Petra whereby he met the then-Princess Catherine I as she was being threatened by a Ser Gerald of Veletz. Young Gob followed the Princess as she proceeded to decapitate a Veletzer guard and threatened to bomb the city ob Veletz. From that day forth the goblin dedicated his life to the service of Petra agh her people, attempting on occasion to sneak his way into Petrine politics both as mayoral candidate agh as court jester.

At the age ob fourteen, Gob enlisted to fight for Petra in the Aevos Coalition War, serving in the artillery line and earning the respect agh admiration ob his fellow countrymen after helping to take victory after victory for the Petrine crown. In 1954, Gob would take part in the coronation ob Queen Catherine I by offering a bowl ob muddy water to symbolize his 'pact ob nub-bakkztabbin'. This oath would go on to be repeated in the coronations ob Adalia I & Therin I by Gob's successor, Bon'Ox.

In 1959, Gob would defend the life of Catherine I from the attack ob a renowned Veletzer knight by the name ob Ser Ethan ob Winburgh, allegedly felling him with but the use ob a single leg ob chicken. A testament to the assured martial strength ob the orc.

Gob's ascent to the faith began in the wake ob the Coalition War, in the year 1962, whereby he received a gift ob revelation from GOD agh was bequeathed the divine 'Ring of Bon' which enabled the ability ob teleportation. By this experience agh the guidance ob his fellow man, Gob was baptized agh inducted into our faith in the halls ob the church ob Vallagne. He soon after squired under the tutelage ob Ser Theoceric agh was knighted that same year.

One year later, Imp. 1963, Gob would be martyred after fighting a duel against Thraaluk'Gorkil. Gob Stabbasniffa was crushed to death beneath the weight ob his own warhorse. The justification ob his death was that he refused to renounce his faith to GOD. He was succeeded by his adoptive son, Bon'Ox, whom still resides in Petra to this day. He is yet mourned by the people ob Petra, who have erected a shrine to him outside their gates, in the small village ob Faubourg. There he is represented by a gold-gilden tusk. Agh offerings ob teef are preferred.

According to the testimony ob James Cardinal Rhosmark, he was witness to a miracle in Gob's name upon the year 1986. Herein Bon'Ox had been assaulted by a fellow son ob KRUG and was in a critical condition, fully reliant upon the strength ob GOD's will to survive. By a miracle amid prayers to the martyred Gob Stabbasniffa, Bon'Ox made a recovery from his fatal condition. BLESSED BE!

May his life be a lesson to all. Agh may his story not overshadow the lives ob countless more ob KRUG's sons, martyred for their faith or for their virtues.
