Hobo (messiah)

== Birth and Early life ==
=== Origin ===
Little is known about the messiah Hobo, and what is known comes from unreliable sources. There are some things that are known, however. First, hobo seems to have been born in the Zamotz Union, and sources indicate near the New Moon Company border. Second, it is likely that Hobo moved from town to town, being cast out by the citizens of each for being stinky, poor, and stealing food. 
=== Jabal Kingdom ===
Eventually, Hobo reached the town of Ygomir in the Jabal Kingdom. Looking for a home but having no money, Hobo took to begging. Nekoma, the grand architect, took pity on Hobo and had a dumpster constructed for him. He built this dumpster and had no idea of the significance that Hobo's Dumpster would obtain. 
== Spiritual Awakening ==
=== Divine Spirit ===
For Hobo to have his great awakening, he needed a catalyst for his visions. This was brought to him by the process of fermentation. At the bottom of the dumpster, sewage runoff and rotten grass accumulated and started fermenting. This created a highly alcoholic liquid that filled up the dumpster halfway. Hobo drank for 3 days and 3 nights until not a drop of this liquid, now referred to as Divine Spirit, was left. 
=== Achieving Enlightenment ===
The great messiah Hobo achieved spiritual enlightenment on the 3rd night of the 3rd day. He saw visions of the great beyond and mysteries of the universe were unraveled to him. He became one with the cosmos, and the cosmos became one with him. 
== Holy Visions ==
On the third night of the third day of Hobo's drinking, his soul was lifted from his body and transcended to the realm of the gods, The Jabal Plane. Jabila, the god of light and good, spoke to Hobo, giving him 3 revelations that would shape the course of history.
=== The First Revelation ===
Jabila spoke thus: "Your people will leave this place of torment and suffering, and must travel north to the lands of the orange trees and white clay. There, your people will prosper and achieve greatness." It was soon after this revelation that the peoples of Jabal moved from Ygomir and founded New Ygomir in the savannah.
=== The Second Revelation ===
Jabila spoke again: "A war is coming, a war beyond your comprehension, a war that you will not know its beginning nor its end. Gather your strength, your friends, and your enemies, because the War of Time will be upon us." Scholars and priest of Hoboism are still currently trying to decipher this cryptic message.
=== The Final Revelation ===
Lastly, Jabila spoke: "Before the War of Time comes, a new world will open to humanity, much as this world opened to the old. When this occurs, many will leave this realm in search of riches, power, and glory. Be careful, for Jabal will have two choices: stay or move. One will end you."
=== A Price to Pay ===
Before Hobo left the Jabal Plane, he was confronted by the god Hablam. Petrified with fear and confusion, Hobo did not speak to the beast. Hablam, however, spoke: "You may return here, mortal one, for more knowledge on our universe. However, a great sacrifice must be made for a mortal soul to come to the immortal realm. Brew Divine Spirit, but the head of a sacrifice must be used to complete the holy beverage." And with this, Hobo was cast back down to the realm of Eldham.
=== Perfection of Craft ===
After enlightenment, Hobo realized he must make more Divine Spirit in order to share with others the joy of enlightenment. He studied hard the art of brewing and fermentation, and brought along his trusted friend Nekoma for the journey. Eventually, he perfected his craft and was able to make the strongest and most pure form of Divine Spirit to ever exist. Now, Hobo travels the kingdom and spreads his message and story about achieving enlightenment through copious amounts of alcohol. The religion of Hoboism was founded and is currently the largest religion in the Jabal Kingdom.
