{{Quote|
Well, technically, the title is Sir Ballard, Praetor, Retired. But they called me back up for this "special mission." So I'm officially the Praetor of all of [[Serbule]] and the surrounding land for a hundred miles. But that means nothing out here.
}}
The retired Nelson was summoned by the Council to oversee the construction of a town in the east to hold Elven refugees from the destroyed [[Dwyndarre]]. His wife died five years ago, so he had no qualms packing up and accepting the mission. He originally lived outside of [[Statehelm]].

Welcome to the daycare town. '''Daycare town?'Precision Pierce'' ::Oh, it just feels that way sometimes. This city was going to be a new Council outpost for Humans, but was abondoned due to the war effort. When the Eleven city of Dwyndarre was destroyed, we finished building it as a shelter for refugees that fled into our country. '''So what happened to Dwyndarre?'Precision Pierce 2'' ::Dwyndarre? Who knows! It just blew the fuck up! Right off the famned map, a million Elves killed in a single day. The refugees here were the ones that weren't in the city at the time. The are no survivors from Dwyndare proper. It's just ash now. 'Precision Pierce 3'', Holy crap. And there's no clue what caused it?'Precision Pierce 4'' :: Nope. One day it was a lovely tree-top city, the next day it was just ash. No trees for a hundred miles! Not even dragons are that thorough. It's gotta be demons, right? Demons from the front lines of the army. But how would they show up in Dwyndarre? Perverted Eleven magicians making some sort of sex deal for loner dicks, that's what I heard! (Nelson snickers and then sees you aren'Flashing Striket laughing,) It's a joke! You aren't from around here, are you? ''Flashing Strike 2' I kind of lost my memory ''' ::Oh! Another one of those, eh? We've had a few people wander in without any memories the past month or two. Must be some sort of monster that eats minds or something around here. This whole countryside is full of bizarre magical shit. ...Oh, wait, you want to live here? Well only Elven refugees can stay here permanently without special Council permission. But I tell you what. Here, let me give you the cash I would give to an Elf. A thousand Councils. That should get you back on your feet, if you're a careful spender! '''Thanks! What should I do now?'Flashing Strike 3'' :: Maybe you can find a place to stay around here for a while, or you can head off to Eltibule Keep. I know they're trying to make that old castle into an outpost. Might be able to find use for you there. '''Thanks. Goodbye for now.'''}} == Trivia ==
