Saint Bacca

From The Inquisition Legacy
Jump to: navigation, search

A year before the Consolidation began, a boy named Bacca was born in Talfore, and he lived a life as simple as the village where he grew up. It became apparent that he had a knack for fixing things early on, and so he chose to make his living that way, selling his services as a tinkerer as far north as Beresfield County. Wherever he went, he was loved, for it wasn't just pots and pans he mended. Many a heartbroken youth would come tell their troubles to the man, who would listen while he worked on broken utensils. He dispensed practical advice with a healthy dose of the Order's teachings, and the poor children of the town always seemed to find some trinket or toy in their pockets, ingeniously worked from scrap metal, lost buttons and twine.

Because of his popularity, the church in Talfore invited him to join their ranks; it was an invitation he accepted reluctantly. In his short time wearing the cloth, this humble man influenced the whole of the Holy Order, reinforcing Dav's Law of Giving and inspiring the custom of wearing little to no jewelry, much to the dismay of Lithmore's more established priests of the time. Though he voluntarily left the clergy to finish his life as it began, he left a lasting impression and was sainted a few years after his death in SC 153.
