Fortune and Flame (Character Info)
Fragments of Today: Life of the Seer King
Speaking often in riddle or rhyme, Solam is the rare Oracle with the desire to be King. He is known to respect to each court's place and position in society. Like summer itself, he can have a long hot streak and fiery temper. Strong in the face of marauding beasts and paranormals, Salom's blades flow with blood. He is a staunch protector of Changelings.
Every summer, Salom awakes to see dawn daily. Salom is sometimes seen among mortals serving soup at a church soup-kitchen in Atlantic City.
There are numerous places that see a glimpse or two of Salom from time to time:
Isla del Perdido seems to claim a number of his friends, and he does love to drink in their bars. While his attitude may not have the rogue elements of most of the denizens, he can be spotted in their bars from time to time.
Remnants from the Mirror of the Past
Basic Timeline:
Stolen from his life by the The Twilight King in the mid 20th century, Salom somehow wound up as a 'servant' to Aftiel on some sort of wager or payment. From the Twighlight King to the king of the Twighlight Realm, Salom's time in fae occurred in eternal gray--if and when he does talk about his captivity it is of the neverending twighlight and his desire to see the sun. He quickly joined the summer court, an outlet for his vast wrath and a rebellion against the gray of his imprisonment. Salom emerged from Hedge in 1990 in Detroit, harboring obvious hatred for the True Fae that held him. Travelling for a few years he eventually settled down in Atlantic City.
The Court recognized his significant martial skills. Though he seems unassuming, time reveals Salom's strength of purpose and politcal ability. It is hard to say who among the changelings Salom deems an enemy. He became Summer King of Atlantic City in 2002.
Background:
Little is known about the origins of Salom. He shows a vision for the future, but from whence is his past?
A sizeable creature, it is shocking to realize he is wizened. It begs the question how large was he once?
