John O'Dare

A writer whose works were known for stark realism and a savage materialism. He was hardened by struggle in his youth and early manhood. Nevertheless, he had dreamed since childhood of shimmering kingdoms of tinsel and gossamer. His books included The Jaws of the Vise. He was a fan of Justin Geoffrey and Benjamin de Casseres. From his ancestor, Lord Donal O'Dare, he had inherited a gold ring with a blue stone and unknown carved characters, somewhat resembling Phoenician. One night while he was reading Towers in the Sky by Justin Geoffrey, Xathra of Balrahar burst in through his window, and claimed to be the owner of O'Dare's ring. Following the arrival of the villainous Begog, O'Dare and Xathra fell through a dimensional portal called the Door of the World, and O'Dare awoke in an alien landscape. [REH Door]
