Wayfarer is a comic series published by Armada beginning in November, 1995. It consists of five volumes and tells the story of Jared Carthalion.
Volume 1: A Need for Monsters
It's 1281 by the reckoning of the sages of Minorad. On the plains of Urlan in eastern Stonehaven, the wayfarer Jared Carthalion battles a thunder spirit sent by Kadesha, the ruler of the town of Hamath. He defeats the spirit, but at the cost of his sword, Foecleaver. Tired and hungry, Jared heads into town and starts a tavern brawl in order to steal some food and drink. Kadesha believes Jared is an evil herald of Ravidel, who's conquered all of Stonehaven, but whom Jared believes is dead. Kadesha enlists the archer Élan d'Avenant, who injures Jared, angering him. He traps her in the roof of the Hamath ziggurat and is about to kill her, when Kristina of the Woods intervenes and teleports him away. An enraged Élan, robbed of her prey, swears to hunt Jared down. In the White Woods of Casindral, Kristina heals Jared's wounds. She reveals to him that she's also a Planeswalker, and teaches him about the colors of magic. She's also gives him a repaired Foecleaver, and they prepare to embark on a journey together with her as his mentor.
Volume 2: Forces of Nature
In spring of the same year, the wayfarer Jared Carthalion and Kristina of the Woods are in the heart of the White Woods of Casindral. She teaches him to bond with a spitting slug, before happening into a duel between Exarch Finovar and her Calthyn Elves on one side, and Exarch Amadis and his Kieryn Elves on the other. While they are distracted, Élan d'Avenant sneaks up on them and is about to shoot Jared with her bow, but the branch she is standing on moves from beneath her, dropping her to the forest floor. Jared and Kristina, seemingly unaware of this happening nearby, are invited to join Amadis in Kieryn village, where the bard Renalt tells them of the history of the Quirion Elves. She reveals that the feud with the Calthyn is over the honor of speaking to the newly awoken Great Spirit, a Force of Nature, whose appearance is tied to Ravidel's return.
