The Legend of Gareus

Think of David Brent in fantasy, Don Quixote with dragons, Basil Fawlty with armor, The Tick without the super powers... and you get: Gareus!

A man of little skill, knowledge, wisdom, or courage, he nevertheless proclaims his prowess across the land of Fintrasia leaving a swath of disgruntled and bewildered citizenry behind.

Whilst Gareus may be completely oblivious to his blowhardiness, a legend in his own mind, there are real dangers lurking in the world and when he stumbles across them he is often saved by his loyal (and insane) follower Dave. Dave worships the ground Gareus walks on even more than Gareus himself - which is quite a feat - but he is a true believer in his hero, the man, the myth: The Legend of Gareus.

Oh and there is some worship of Eels and a fascination with wicker baskets (that may or may not be sexual in nature) but we will get to all that in good time...

More than just a rib on the fantasy genre The Legend of Gareus is a look at fame, at those that want fame for its own sake, and the lengths (and extreme effort) people will frequently go through for it... and often, what sort to person that leaves us with.

But don't forget there are cool swords, dragons, and stuff.
