The Jester's Blade
History
The Jester's blade was founded before the exodus of the elves began. They were made up of Bakhu's closest friends. at the time, there were no warriors, only slaves and experiments. For centuries, they had withstood great trouble and turmoil together, and, unbeknownst to them this had trained and forged them into the greatest fighting force anyone had ever known. Millions of years of survival had given them skills that the aberrations had no way of foreseeing.
There were twelve in the beginning, not including the Prince himself, and they were the vanguard of the Aolven people. Though four of their number fell in the caverns of the Below, and one was Killed in the war against Galvander upon reaching the surface, seven of the original twelve remained. One fell during the war of Sundered Tides, leaving half of the original number.
