Ran'Jinro seemed amused. "Local? Have you seriously not heard about the First and the Last King? Every Outsider and City-Dweller knows of him." When he saw that Mongo apparently didn't know, he stroke his chin. "The legend is that shortly after the first appearance of the Beasts a general or an officer of the armies fighting back against the Thalmor, realised that the Altmers were no longer the threat, but the Beasts. After the Imperial City had fallen and the Emperor had been killed, this officer was crowned as king of Tamriel by his own men for his brilliant leadership. Not only did he develop strategies and tactics to drive the Beasts back, but he also managed to create supply lines all over Tamriel, even during times of distress. While Beasts ran amok all over the continent he had begun to secure entire areas which would provide safety for as many survivors as possible. In short, he was the founder of all the cities we still see standing today... with the exception of Kilkreath." He added the last with a bitterness in his voice. "He is widely regarded as a saint for his compassion of all the races and how much he cared about the survival of mankind itself. When years of fighting Beasts and founding new communities had been established, the man alongside with a couple of his best inventors, tacticians and warriors set out to form a faction that would specialize in fighting the Beasts in their own territory."

Ran'Jinro proudly tapped at the cloak he was carrying. "The First and the Last King founded the Beast Slayers. Sadly, as most legend goes, happiness and security is never everlasting. While the First and the Last King believed in equality and compassion, there were people around him that did not share his ideals. Communities and cities began to divide their own populations into a class system that eventually resulted into the banishment of thousands of people, all due to the suspicions that these people were responsible for the Beasts' origins. While in turn these people had different ideas, that it was those who had thrown them out of the cities that were responsible for the creation of the Beasts. As you may well know, it was then mankind became divided. Outsiders and City-Dwellers, and that wound has never quite healed. When the First and the Last King opposed against this revolution it is said that he was assassinated by those closest to him. Some versions of the story goes that both he and his family were banished. However they all end basically the same that there are descendants out there, sharing his blood. And should they be exposed as his heirs they would reunite the Outsiders and City-Dwellers again, creating a unified kingdom in which we can all live in peace, and destroy the Beasts once and for all."

He then scoffed. "It's a legend for sure. Such miracles do not exists. If we want a happy ending, we got to make it ourselves. No saviors or descendants of the First and the Last King will come. Though I have no doubt that he did indeed exist, or that he had offspring, I find it hard to believe that that bloodline would have been able to survive in this new world of ours. Not to mention, what sort of role would such a person have? One person to reunite a broken world? We are more likely to fly to Masser and Secunda and create a new world there than for that to happen."

"I have heard that there is some fine structures in the souther districts", said Evelyne. "Perhaps we could start looking there?"
