Jaron Galarn
Jaron Galarn was a tour guide of the Seolfar Strake (Lysierian Hills) in the Second Era of the Shadow World history, who made money showing visitors to the village of Velaskar the famed equines of Silver Valley. His fate was less than fortunate due to running afoul of a mining operation with a sorcerous headmaster named Muylari who probably served Lorgalis. He wiped Jaron Galarn's memory which eventually wore off by accident, and found that no one in town remembered him, or that Silver Valley even existed. Jaron returned to the valley to discover the horses in bondage to the mining crew.
Jaron Galarn was buried alive by the miners. His coffin supposedly fell through a subterranean chasm and may have woken up the dormant serpent demon in the process. His name is still relevant to a puzzle in the game today. Velaskar would not have survived the Wars of Dominion, and was probably subsumed by The Dark Path, or destroyed by Bandur Etrevion or else Lorgalis after 6521 S.E.
Behind The Scenes
The Silver Valley story has a heavy basis in "The Mound" by H.P. Lovecraft. Features include the spectral horses and miners, the unnatural immortality reflected in Muylari, the dust plains, valleys, the serpent demon, the partially phased mining equipment, the headless body, the subterranean world, the eagle claws on the moaning spirits, and the legend pieced together from tales by local villagers. "The Shadow out of Time" and "The Call of Cthulhu" also matter.
