Rexington, Immortal of  Love

Rexington was born into royalty in the city of Villanova, across the Ocean from Norland. However, in his teens he relinquished his claim upon the throne. The young half-elf then fled the city, escaping his parent's tyrannical views. With his new found freedom, the young prince made his way to the continent of Norland and the city of Devardec.

  

" Regal Rexington" as he was known then finally found peace in the Guild of Monks. He gave away his wealth and exchanged royal garb for a spiritual light  and the flowing robes of a humble novice. The rigid upbringing of his youth was in stark contrast to life in the Monks guild and he flourished in the family atmosphere.

 

Under the guidance of such renowned monks as Keraptis, Deward and Monica, Rexington progressed in the guild, learning of "the Way" and striving for balance and enlightenment.

  

Many years later, he became a Sensei and leader in the guild. Under GM Ashryn,  he was appointed GL Master of Paths, supervising the passing on of traditions to the younger monks of the guild.  

His temple affiliations began when he joined the temple of Alvogyl the Immortal  of Light, who was patron of the Monks at the time. Although he was happy, there was the nagging doubt that there was something missing. He had an epiphany that  Love was his true calling. Rexington bid his fond farewell to the temple of Light and joined the Order of Love. His enthusiasm for his new temple resulted in his quick progression to becoming the mortal leader of the temple which he remained for many wonderful years.

Not all was good for the monk though; tragedy struck him upon the death of his first wife, Tripper. With the support of his friends he came through this, eventually marrying Angele and fathering four children.

Only the most talented of seers and prophets could have foreseen what was fated for Rexington next. Keraptis, the Monks Hero, had been slain and Rexington stepped forward, offering his own life for that of Keraptis. With the aid oif Elaina, Rexington prayed to the creator for aid. Torretan then appeared and struck Rexington a mortal blow out of spite.

As this happened though, the creator intervened. Using the spark of life provided by Rexington, the soul of Keraptis was brought back, stronger than before as the Immortal of Strength and Spirit. Rexington was also blessed that day, as Deori shed a tear for him, returning him to life and awarding the power of a Hero.

  

Since then, Rexington has been a Hero in the Temple of Chivalry and assumed the role of Patron of the Monks after the departure of Keraptis from the realm. In this capacity he has been involved in aiding Wintertown and Devardec, battling against the evil dark elf Oligar, and continuing to be the moral and spiritual support for the Monks.

  

Through all of this one thing remained constant in his life: his devotion to Love and all its wonders and powers. He looked after the Temple of Love and its remaining members even after Shilana departed the realms, and he continued to spread love throughout the lands.

Many years ago, the Temple of Love came under attack by the evil warlock Mordecai. Hero Rexington died in battle protecting the temple. However, the power of love was strong that day as temple members and even non-members joined together sending put their thoughts, hopes and wishes of love to Rexington. Rexington's spirit used this power to turn the tables on Mordecai and eventually defeat him. After the final battle, as Rexington's spirit was fading, Deori appeared to him.  He restored Rexington to solid form and bathed him in divine light. Deori then  removed Rexington's heart and crafted a new and improved Orb of Love. He placed it in Rexington's chest and in doing so made Rexington an Immortal!

  

The lands rejoiced as the Temple of Love was open once again under a new Immortal of Love.

  

Rexington is renowned for providing Mead to the lands and swears that it has kept him young and vibrant all these years. He is often referred to as the benevolent monk.

  

To this day Rexington remains as Patron of the Monks and Immortal of

Love!
