Ramagan, the Human Warrior

(By Mik Bristle, a free ethnologist at the Free University of Ganareth)

The impact of the tales of a great Warrior on female populations can certainly be a very interesting topic of study especially when studied within hair salons. This is the reason why I choose to delve into the legend of Ramagan based upon the words of these absolutely fabulous ladies as they coif one’s hair.

Here’s a summary of their deeply penetrating inquiries:

• Is he as strong as people say he is?
• Was he one of Immortal Arkorak’s disciples?
• Did he fight the great Dragon Zebulrogh?
• Are you a friend of his?

I always answered these questions with a yes. Sometimes I was even rewarded with a free shampoo because of that simple reply.

All fantasy aside, I eventually gathered an interesting tidbit of information during my investigation; thanks to the owner of a hair salon (who, by the way, gave me a great Savage Orc haircut with a dazzling green crest right in the middle of my skull, top quality stuff I must say). This nice woman, who still looked quite attractive for her age, told me about a certain Lake of Ramagan ("Ramagan Lak, as Humans say) and about a hulking Warrior who was rumored to have buried some incredibly powerful weapons thereabouts.

I didn’t want to disappoint her, but I think that even a Warrior although this profession does not stress intellectual faculties couldn’t be so naive as to hide all his most valued possessions in a place that bears his own name! I sincerely don’t believe he had the word "Stupid" tattooed on his forehead but the fact remains that nobody ever had the guts to lift his helmet and take a look.

I don’t think he hid all his treasures in Ramagan Lak. Many so called “Adventurers”, wherever they come from are wasting their time over there. More importantly, there isn’t a single hair salon in the vicinity, so I don’t see why anyone would bother in the first place.
