At first, Prince Jaycent appears to be a promising heir to Nevaharday. Standing at an intimidating 6’4, he conveys the confidence and authority of someone who knows just what kind of power sits within his prestigious palms. His natural charisma gains him favor with his people. His military training garners respect.

​

But his actions would soon leave a different impression.

​

After his parents die from an unknown illness, Jaycent's demeanor changes drastically. He passes his crown on to his cousin, then spills his storm of emotions into wine, mead, and romantic "entanglements" with various women. At first, his people excuse his behavior as a show of grief, but when months pass and his antics grow more troublesome, they begin to question whether he's worthy of inheriting Nevaharday's throne.

​

It isn't until his own life is threatened that Jaycent begins to rise out of his grief- and fear-driven slump. Rallying a small circle of trusted allies, he searches for a way to protect himself—and his kingdom—from the enigmatic threat that hunts him. However, when Jaycent's foe finally steps out of the shadows, he heralds a slew of tragedies heavy enough to break even the strongest of spirits. Everyone who is touched by these events finds themselves changed in some way.

 

For Jaycent, those tragedies awaken a new and dangerous persona: Jaspur Clovenhoof.
