Janner was given a dark Clayesmore, containing Embers soul, for safe keeping. Over time Janner became more and more troubled by the ever growing presence of Embers in his mind as she grew stronger, feeding off Janner\'s past anger and hatred. She slowly gained control of that part of him and one day, in the Plaza, briefly gained control of Janner.
Janner\'s body trembled and swayed, his eyes glowed red and, frothing at the mouth, he stared straight at Aluna and suddenly announced; \"Must kill, must kill...\" while moving menacingly towards her.
Everyone present was rooted to the spot in shock. After a long moment Gag snapped into action and bravely stood between them. This was enough to enable Janner to regain a little control and he ran off before any damage was done. The further he got from Aluna the more self-contol was restored and with Gag\'s help he was able to temporarily take back control.
Gag went back to the Plaza to explain to the confused crowd what had happened. After a little while Janner cautiously approached, but the nearer he got to Aluna the more he became aware of Embers. This time he was prepared and Embers was only able to control his voice. Not daring to get closer than behind the blacksmith\'s Ember spoke through Janner; \"You fools, you have given me what I wanted: a body with skills and strength.\"
With this Janner ran off into the hills afraid of what might happen if he stayed.
For a few days Janner camped in the hills in a constant struggle with Embers\' soul, until, one night, the battle reached fever pitch and as Janner slept Embers stole away, with the help of dark magic, taking Janner\'s bad side along.
A pure Diablo male was formed with Janner\'s skills and knowledge of warfare. Full of a burning desire for revenge on all who had stood in Embers way.
For weeks now Semper has been keeping a low profile while training himself up in the skill of axe; the one skill he knows Janner does not have. One day, while learning a new magic spell, Semper saw some familiar faces from Embers past and felt it was time to make his presence known.
In the time Semper had spent training Janner was sensing, in his sleep, Semper\'s thoughts. This deeply troubled Janner so he sought out Semper hoping to end it before any real harm was done. He caught up with Semper and confronted him. After a long and heated argument weapons were drawn and after a few minutes Janner landed a heafty blow with his frosty short sword on his left arm. Immediately Janner dropped his left sword and staggered back in pain and surprise. Semper advanced hoping to finish Janner off and struck a hefty blow to his right arm. Screaming in pain Semper dropped to his knees clutching his right arm. After what seemed a long time staring at each other it dawned on both that if either harmed the other he would receive the injury. With this they each retrieved their weapons and departed.
Deeply disturbed by this new turn of events Janner had to rethink his plans. Knowing that any harm that he inflicted on Semper would reflect on himself. After turning it over and over in his troubled mind he came to a grievous decision. Janner went home and spent a pleasant day with his family pretending that everthing was as it should be but knowing this would be the last time he would ever see them. The next morning Janner left a long letter for his still sleeping wife and with a breaking heart departed without looking back.
Janner went to the river where he knew Semper was camped. Luring Semper to an overhang high above the gorge Janner taunts Semper into a fist fight. To Janner\'s satisfaction Semper dodged his blows while Janner took the full force of Sempers fists and quickly took a stunning blow which had Semper realing. Seizing the opportunity Janner leapt at Semper and bound his hands and feet, then while Semper was still dazed he lifted the huge man and with one last gargantuan effort leapt off. As they plunged to their deaths Janner prayed to Laanx and Talad and any other gods who might be listening that this would be the end of the evil wrought by Embers. The icy water swallowed the now unconscious pair and silence returned to the gorge as if all Yliakum held their breath. Soon the animal noises could be heard again and life continued as if nothing had happened. Only one weeping widow knew what had happened and she took her family and went home by the portal through which Janner had brought her to that world all those years before.
