## Jebadiah
A blacksmith and survivor in [[Everdour]] whose prayer brought the heroes.
### Description
- Blacksmith
- Former follower of Heliod
- Had his leg taken by the Grooglemen
### Family
- Grandfather to [[Treya]] and [[Kay]]
- Father to [[Marrie]] (widow who was chosen as tribute)
### Tragedy
When Marrie was chosen as tribute, Jebadiah walked with her and refused to comply. The Grooglemen attacked:
- Took his son (Marrie's husband)
- Took his leg
- He fought but lost
### The Prayer
Broke his vow and prayed to Heliod: "Father, I break my vow, send heroes."
The heroes ([[Kohr]], [[Eladan]], [[Eloise]], [[Cryo]], [[Zradrech]]) arrived in answer to this prayer.
### Later Life
After the heroes saved Everdour, Jebadiah taught smithing to the followers and survivors. According to the historical record read in Session 33, he was never seen again after a scorch mark was left, suggesting some kind of departure or transformation.

His grandchildren survived:
- Marrie became a leader (her son succeeded her in leadership)
- Treya became a sky sailor
