Saint Hubert

Saint Hubert (Time of Awakening 1013-1085) 

ToA 1013
    Saint Hubert was born into the Time of Awakening. Born ToA 113, Saint Hubert was no stranger to hardship. He is the Patron Saint of Inner Discipline and Peace. Like most poor folk Hubert was sent to a monastery to be trained as a monk. Destined to a life of solitude and doomed to copy manuscripts, Hubert dreamed of more. Chance came when he was twenty years old in the form of an Easterfolk.

ToA 1033
    The Easterfolk went by the name of Master Ping. He was an expert in unarmed combat and meditation. He was also a monk, but of a different caliber. He believed the path to the gods was not through the reciting of prayer and worship, but by the cleansing of ones soul. For ten years Hubert trained in Master Ping’s Martial Arts all the while being frowned upon by his fellows.

ToA 1043
    Word spread of this unpopular form of worship and the small town that would later be renamed Saint Huberts began to revolt. Small skirmishes soon broke out around the town with the monks and the peasants. For months these heated incidents continued to cause more and more unrest in the realm. This eventually led the local Lord to dispatch a garrison of troops to quell the unrest of peasants and to put an end to the bloodshed.

ToA 1047
    Master Ping dies an old and accomplished man. His death is heralded by only the monks of the monastery who over time had come to love him. Hubert however was not in attendance. He had set out on a pilgrimage to the city of Lud only a week before. During his time in Lud Hubert founded a local chapel where he began teaching the fat and overindulged priests how to become more spiritually in tune with the world. He did this for the next thirty years.

ToA 1077
    Hubert leaves Lud never to return. He arrives at his old monastery a month later asking to see Master Ping. Hubert cried out in agony and took a vow of silence from that day on. He spent the rest of his days practicing his meditation and trying to become more in touch with the gods. He died eight years later.

ToA 2000
    Hubert is made a Saint by the agreement of all the High Priests of the realm. He is the last person to be named a Saint before the Time of Sorrow.
