The fallen knight

Mortesecca's shack witnesses how simply he used to live.



Among his few belongings there is a fetish idol engraved with the green man's figure, which is probably the evidence Azarbad was talking about.

Fairy wants to check Mortesecca's other 2 shacks - Milkshack on Wensleydale and Sea Shack on Scrimshaw. So she travels to those islands looking for clues in his shacks. Maybe he left a note or something.
:scratch:

The other shacks are nothing but a nest of spiders and rats. Mortesecca moved to Caravanserai a while ago and never came back.

Eww rats and spiders! Fairy runs, takes a ship and sails back to Caravanserai.

I'm going to ask around, maybe the lads at the inn know something about Mortesecca.

Fairy goes to Hotel Caravanserai.

People at the inn are always reluctant to give information, nonetheless Fairylass is lucky enough to run into a neighbour of Mortesecca.
"Ye mean that darn bearded devil? To hell with him! God knows what the hell he was doin' in that bloody shack! Hey... why a saucy lass like ye would waste her time with such a grave-digger? Wouldn't you visit my shack instead? I'd like to drop anchor in yer cove! Yarr."

Blimey! Err, no thanks

Fairy decides to check Arete's shack, so she travels to Barbary Island - Sidekick Shacks, looking for clues.

Arete's shack is locked. She is away.

According to mythology the "Green Man" as seen on the totem is a symbol of rebirth. Which means that Mortesecca, Azarbad, and Kakia have some plan to bring something back. Since the man is covered in vegetation or seen as a plant perhaps Mortesecca has a garden of some sort around here.

A garden, uh? Well, I don't know... but maybe the garden you are talking about is the place where he's hiding from Azarbad. IF is hiding himself, of course.

So maybe that's why Kakia and Azarbad are looking for Mortesecca. The green man is the symbol of rebirth or "renaissance", so perhaps they want to take that power from him and gain eternal life. :scratch:

Well knigths, there are only 3 persons who can shed light on this story and confirm your guesses:

1. Kakia
   I don't think we could be able to obtain any information from her, not we will be ever able to catch her, due to her nature.
   
2. Azarbad
   Defeating him and possibly coming into possession of the green trinket is the only chance we have to ruin their plans.
   
3. Mortesecca
   He certainly knows they are after him and why. He could explain us the meaning of my dream and in which way he's linked with the green man. If only we could find him...

The only way to get reborn in is to create a new account/pirate. But because this roleplay game is more realistic than the game that is not likely.

Mortesecca must have a hideout somewhere, he has been missing for a rather long time, every pirate needs a home.
Perhaps he is living on one of his ships? Even if hunted by a brigand king no pirate can live without sea air in his lungs!

Well, if Mortesecca is really the green man, I'd say that he's rather a chthonian being... what pirates would call a "landlubber".

Mmiimmii is curious about saintgeorge a cabinperson in our crew ...Some have identified Khezr with St. George who is also identified as the green man of the Qur'an.... Mmiimmii wonders if Moetesecca is in this disguise :scratch:

Mmiimmii also goes in search of Gaea in hopes she might enlighten me on the green man ...

...

Saint George of the Qu'ran? Mmm... interesting... I feel that it could really be a good track, considering that Azarbad is involved in the mystery.
But again, so far this is only a guess... we need some evidence.
Where have you found such information, though? In the royal library I cannot find any record under "Khezr".

Fairy is clueless. She decides she wants to search Caravanserai Island, looking for someone who might have seen Mortesecca or might have clues. So, with a picture of Mortesecca in her hand, she starts walking around Caravanserai Island, entering every building, stall and house, asking people if they have seen that man.

I've been hard at werk studying and searching on anything about the green man..here is where i found out about khezr....

Wonderful discovery. My library records him as "Al-Khidr".
Anyway Mortesecca is still missing and Azarbad is uleashed. Go knights!

Fairy met again the pirate of the inn.
"Hey, saucy lass! How about a ride on my sloop? I could reveal you all the secrets the grave-digger was hiding" he says, winking at her.

Alright, let's go! xD Tell me everything you know And keep your hands to yourself xD.

Mmiimmii realizes that there be a pirate named Alkhidr that lives on Admiral so I think I'll go to Caddyshack and see what I can find out...
also there be a Musa living on Barbary at Sidekicks Shacks ...I think I'll be checking that out too.. :pirat:

All of a sudden, Xenophon's words come to your mind:

For of all things good and fair, the gods give nothing to man without toil and effort.

The shorter and easy road is Kakia's.

Mwahahahah!
Surrender, Ascalon! One by one you all will fall!

Oh no! I took the path of Kakia! :no:

Fairy is ashamed of herself.

'Three things of this world delight the heart: water, green things, and a beautiful face.'

That is why the trinket has to be green!

Some have identified Khezr with St. George

Interesting.

From the wikipedia

The boat was damaged to prevent its owners from falling into the hands of "a certain king who seized on every boat by force."

A certain king? a brigand king, perhaps?

Oh, here is even more:

Some scholars suggest that al-Khiḍr is also represented in the Arthurian tale, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, as the Green Knight

So in your dream, Mortsecca is the Green knight?

well, I have to admit I didn't do much riddle-solving, but hopefully I got togther a few clues.
