Raison

The Legndary hero of Isolus who was

famous for his quest for the Golden
Spear. He was the son of Textun, the
rightful king of Corinth, later to become
the south of Isolus. He was in a
relationship with the sorceress Satone
who wold later become known as The
Witch of Betreyal.

The day Raison was born Pelias,

Textun’s half brother, powr-hungry and
he wished to gain dominion over all of
Corinth. overthrew Textun in a bloody
uprising, killing all the descendants of
Textun that he could. He spared Raison
by accident as his mother , Alcimede,
saved him from being killed by Pelias by
having women cluster around the
newborn and cry as if he were still-born.
Alcimede sent her son to the centaur Chiron for education. Raison would later on
prove himself as a brilliant commander and general of Pelias’ army, him unaware that
Raison was his own kin. Pelias would later send Raison on a quest, later to be
revealed to be the search for the legendary Golden Spear.

Raison arrived in Colchis to claim the spear as his own. It was owned by King Aetes
of Colchis. Aetes promised to give it to Raison only if he could perform three certain
tasks. Presented with the tasks, Raison became discouraged and fell into depression.
However, Raison would later meet Satone, daughter of Aetes and a powerful
sorceress. Satone would later fall in love with Raison. As a result, she aided Raison in
his tasks. First, Raison had to plow a field with fire-breathing oxen, the Khalkotauroi,
that he had to yoke himself. Satone managed to cast a spell to take the oxen’s fires
away. Then, Raison sowed the teeth of a dragon into a field. The teeth sprouted into
an army of warriors. Satone had previously warned Raison of this and told him how to
defeat this foe. Armed with Satone’s magical dagger, Rule Breaker, Raison managed
to undo the magic within each of these warriors by striking the ground where they
were sown. His last task was to overcome the sleepless dragon which guarded the
Golden Spear. Raison sprayed the dragon with a potion, given by Satone, distilled
from herbs. The dragon fell asleep, and Raison was able to seize the Golden Spear.
However, not before the Dragon awoke, but then, Golden Spear in hand and Satone’s
magic, Raison managed to slay the Dragon, thus his legacy as a dragon slayer
established. He then sailed away with Satone. Satone distracted her father, who chased
them as they fled, by killing her brother Apsyrtus and throwing pieces of his body into
the sea; Aetes stopped to gather them.

Raison was forced to rely on Satone’s magic three times to escape from the danger in the
kingdom which would later be the upper half of Isolus. She eventually came up with a
plan for Raison, where they invited then King Pelias to visit and displayed her magic.
They seemingly killed his servant in front of him and seemed to revive him with Satone’s
magic to display a spell of immortality. She offered to cast the same spell on the King,
who was overjoyed at the prospect. He willingly gave his body to her, which was left in
pieces and incinerated.

Raison became the king afterward, but his comrades did not approve of his conduct, and
most of all, they disapproved of Satone’s very existence. They denounced her as a witch
who betrayed her country for a man, killed her brother to save herself, and now had taken
the throne by deceit. They were both chased out of the country, and fled to Thaden, later
to become the North of Isolus, where they were welcomed by the king. Here they finally
found a peaceful rest in this land after their denouncement and it was at this time that
Satone found and crafted Raison’s legendary spear, Gáe Bolg.

The King of Corinth took a liking to Raison, and decided to have his daughter marry him.
Raison decided to choose the young daughter over Satone in order to become king once
more and to avoid being accused of marrying a witch. This led her to spiral into a deep
depression. Driving her proclaimed to Raison that he had to either choose her to be his
eternal lover or pierce her heart with Gáe Bolg the spear she had lovingly gave him, so
she may not experience the pain of losing him. Raison chose to use Gáe Bolg on her,
however, her magic had already become greater than any mortal could have mustered at
the time and she instead survived the strike from the cursed spear. Satone’s life shattered
at the spear’s tip, realizing not only did her beloved choose this princess over her but that
he would willingly slay her to get what he wanted; Satone fled the capital that day and
resided in what was to become the Shapeless Isles. Her actions afterward were those that
have truly marked her as a witch. She appeared at Raison's wedding, and burned all who
attended with her arcane fires. Everyone except for Raison was killed, including the King
of Thaden and his daughter, Satone’s fate after she left Corinth is unknown. As her life
was filled only with betrayal, it is said that the princess became a true witch and
continued to roam Isolus thereafter.

Raison on the other hand spent the rest of his life trying to write the wrongs he had
commited. As King of Thaden, Raison succefully took back Corinth finally bringing both
nations together to form Isolus. As King of Isolus Raison confronted Satone who had
spent this time in the Shapeless isles amassing her own cult of followers. The battles
reduced the Shapeless isles into a wasteland where both sides suffered heavy casualties;
however, it was in this battle that both Raison and Satone disappeared without a trace.
Some say they reconciled and fled this world, others say they were pitied by the gods and
whisked away but one this was for sure, no one else had seen Isolus’ first king since then.

Raison was regarded as a remarkably handsome and beautiful man with quirky long
hair combed backward in a rough fashion. He wore a dark teal outfit similar to Celtic
mythology his features are capable of sweeping a woman's heart at a glance. It is
described that the bold features of his face are the high bridge of his nose and his
valiant eyebrow. His hard cut mouth marks him with a stoic air, but his eyes seem to
hide a quiet grief. An extremely proud and noble knight who wishes to serve his lord
to the best of his abilities Raison did not hesitate when he was asked by his king to go
and seek the Golden Spear. He adheres strictly to the codes of chivalry and upholds
his pride as a knight to the fullest, steadfastly believing in honor during battle. While
being pursued by the knights of Fionn at one time, he refused to fight against his
former comrades. During his battles he attempts to provide for the fairest conditions
possible. His code and pride also forbids him to fight to ignore evil. Raison’s
ascension to Demigod status was undocumented and wasn’t witnessed by any account,
however it is believed this ascension may have been attributed to his epic feats such
as his quest for the Golden Spear, Slaying of a Dragon, Creation of Isolus and his
tragic downfall as he betrayed his lover, Satone, bringing about her legacy as The
Witch of Betrayal.

likewise can perform anything that can be accomplished with a simple Strength or

knot as a free action but he could not jump, climb, or swim as a free action because the
latter three tasks are all move actions. He can perform up to five such free actions each
round.
