On Etheria, young and old were familiar with the many tales and legends about King Jared. Even Spirit the horse and Imp the Evil Horde spy could not pass up a chance to listen to stories about him.

According to the self-proclaimed storyteller extraordinaire named Bow, Jared traveled the planet Etheria as a young prince and listened to the secrets of the Whispering Woods. From them, he learned both wisdom and magic. The good prince taught the Singing River how to sing and was the first to hear the Growling Sea roar during a storm. He was also Etheria's first marksman with a bow.

King Jared gave his people a thirst for knowledge and left a very special gift for anyone brave enough to find it: the fabulous Crown of Knowledge, hidden deep inside his castle in the kingdom of Darkedge.
