IKARUS'LUR WAS OUR GREATEST GENERAL.
WHEN THE FINAL PLAGUE ARRIVED HE ARRIVED, BLESSED WITH WEAPONS OF THE GREAT KIND ONE'S ORDER.
WHEN THE ORACLES PREDICTED LOSS, HE REMAINED.
WHEN OUR CIVILIZATION FELL, HE REMAINED.
WHEN EVERYTHING CRUMBLED, HE ALONE REMAINED.
The Hanged Man, named Ikarus'lur, was a precursor encountered in the world of Garlen by a group exploring the Astral Range led by Gary Noose. When the group encountered the Hanged Man wandering the halls of an abandoned Ancient ruin, a deadly encountered ensued where the entire group nearly died until the Hanged Man's advanced mechanical body was destroyed by a final blow by Purgatorian worm Lkzi'oopalsk'kseai.
The body of the Hanged Man was studied extensively by the Gaia University, but like most Ancient technology, was largely unreplicatable. One day, the head of the Hanged Man mysteriously vanished, and its mechanical corpse remained there until it was destroyed by Akuseru Narakuno during a quest offered by the Hermit.
