Prince Merrin The Hunter

In the 2nd age the prince Merrin under the King Begarin was one of the top hunters in all the land. Many great hunt's were organized under him. He had been known to have killed over 100 various man killers in his kingdom. He was thought of very highly. In the year 307 Merrin disappeared. No trace. Many believed he had shamed his father and was assassinated in silence. Yet records show his father hired the best trackers of the land and offered a 3rd of the kingdoms gold to find his son. Several years later a journal would be found in a the furbishing of the princes room. A stone in which hid several journals on various hunt's and secrets the prince documented. It seemed that within the journal the prince had discovered a link to several royal families being a part of a secret society called the order of the black herring. It was believed that the black herring had a major roll in the funding and over throw of the kingdom in 374. Many royal families that were noted in Merrin's journal are still very wealthy families.

Here is a painting of prince Merrin standing over a Afrid Whelping in 304 3 years before his disappearance. These creatures had extremely great hearing and incredible eye sight. It may not look like much but it was considered a great trophy.

Hope you enjoy.
