Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn/Histoire

ISGP Exhibition: Spyro 3 Drunk 100 Egg / Drunk 101 Egg
Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn joined an ISGP Exhibition Race for Spyro 3. The goal was just to get 100 Eggs; however, Charity Royall and Dan Davidson had to have two standard drinks before the race start, and one standard drink before clearing each of the Boss Encounters. Gentle got 5th Place, having choked in Icy Peak, Spike's Arena, and Desert Ruins. Unhappy with his performance, he decided to try super hard in Spyro 3 so he would never lose horribly in that game again.

"GARION MODE" was not a concept until after the Drunk 100 Egg race.

Road To SPYRO KINGDOM (2020)
During Road to SPYRO KINGDOM, Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn partook in one race as an understudy for Kolapro in "Speedy Soda with Lemon," temporarily turning it into "Speedy Soda with Garion." He joined forces with DantaFanta against Luminater (luminize and Skater6453). Despite his most valiant efforts in the one Spyro game he wasn't complete garbage at, he ultimately failed the run after stopping to attempt a technique he had no idea how to do ("Coveless"). He went after it, because succeeding at it even once was an alternate win condition for the race.

The GARION MODE of the race was for Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn to free Nestor after completing the other tasks he was assigned ("100% all of the Beast Makers warp room, then beat Gnasty Gnorc") while Danta did the other chunk of the tasks (100% all of the Dream Weavers warp room). Due to the nature of the GARION MODE involved, this specific task type would be henceforth referenced as "The Stinger," used to signal the end of the video recordings on Gentle's perspective.

SPYRO KINGDOM (2021)
During SPYRO KINGDOM (2021), Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn was asked by Charity Royall to be a Tag Team Partner. Together, they formed "King Rover's Royall Court."

He was a participant of only one race. Once again, he found himself against Luminater. This time, it was with Charity instead of Danta.

The challenge was to defeat all Thieves throughout the three games; the division of labour between King Rover's Royall Court was as follows:
 * Gentle played Spyro 1. He defeated all 12 Egg Thieves, and was given the additional task of defeating both of the Burglar Gnorcs in the Artisans Warp Room, both of the Gem Thieves in Tree Tops, and both of the Key Thieves in Gnasty Gnorc.
 * Charity played Spyro 3. He defeated all 9 Egg Thieves, and was given the additional task of completing Frozen Altars Yeti Boxing 1, Frozen Altars Yeti Boxing 2, and Dino Mines Bailey Gang.
 * Both of them played Spyro 2:
 * Gentle collected the Mystic Marsh Spark Plug Thieves and Scorch Flagkeeper Orbs.
 * Charity collected the Hurricos Lightning Thieves, Metro Speedway Cat Burglars, and Shady Oasis Lamp Thieves Orbs.

Gentle's activated GARION MODEs were:
 * 1) All Dragons in Gnorc Cove, Twilight Harbour, Tree Tops, and Alpine Ridge were collected. This was done primarily for pragmatic reasons, as Gentle severely struggled in Gnorc Cove and in Alpine Ridge. The Dragons served as Checkpoints, and therefore were a safety net which helped him not lose the match for both himself and Charity.
 * 2) One of the levels Gentle visited in Spyro 2 had to be 100%'d (Metro Speedway notwithstanding). He originally intended to 100% Shady Oasis; however, because he made it to Spyro 2 game switching after Charity, he was assigned to get Scorch Flagkeeper. After closing a considerable gap between himself and Laura from Spyro 1, he 100'd Scorch instead. This acted as "The Stinger" (or "Second Ending," as Charity put it) of the video.

SPYRO SPEEDRUNS CUP (2021)
Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn signed up for Spyro Speedruns Cup (2021). He had intended to go by a variation of his usual handle (Gentle Ironweiss Oathsworn), until he was directly told by Crystal Fissure and Nintendogen64 that his name was too long to write down in the list for his group. Having had to do this before on the grounds of character limitations in various video games he played, he shortened his name to Gentle Oathsworn in the Match Card. In doing so, he prevented typography problems for the SSC 2021 Hosts.

Despite his lack of confidence in himself when it came to Spyro speedrunning, and despite his "lack of talent in speedrunning" overall, he managed to make it through a significant chunk of it. As such, it warranted its own Histoire section.

ISGP Exhibition Championship
At around the same time as the Qualifying Rounds were going on for Spyro Speedruns Cup (2021), the ISGP Exhibition Championship had been created by CrystalFissure and Nintendogen64. In their words, they made it to fill a niche they thought would be filled by a pre-existing Championship (the Crassic Speedrunning Championship).

At least once, Fissure and Nintendogen cited that they intended the Championship to be won by Gentle. So, he sought out to win and keep the ISGP Exhibition Title. This led to a string of tragic decisions.

World Tag League (2021)
During the SPYRO SPEEDRUNS CUP (2021), Al Molloy foreshadowed the existence of the World Tag League (2021). Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn had agreed to join forces with Al Molloy for this tournament, though he was hesitant to on account of work obligations possibly getting in the way. The union of Al Molloy & Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn became Paesani Di Legaia, with an additional nickname of "My Paesano Friend."

Multiple matches took place for the World Tag League (2021), necessitating its own section.

Road To King Of Spyro Style (2021)
As a direct result of success from World Tag League (2021), Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn and Al Molloy were commissioned by Crystal Fissure to form a Trios group with him, to face off against Seethe Harbour: the Trio comprising of Dan Davidson, Danta Fanta, and DessertMonkeyJK. Each Trios group collected 20 fairies in Spyro: Season of Ice, 20 fireflies in Spyro: Season of Flame, and collected the first Heart in Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs. Unfortunately, the Paesani trio lost.

Gentle's token GARION MODE Activation was to boot up Gex: Enter the Gecko after having to do Spyro: Season of Flame. He wanted to perform a TV Cancel to skip into Mazed & Confused, but softlocked the game instead.

King Of Spyro Style (2021)
World Tag League (2021) concluded with one of the teams - Crass Blasters - winning it. This team had already defeated Paesani Di Legaia once, allowing them to be eligible for taking them on for the Tag Team Championship.

Since Spyro 2 was brought up, Gentle organized a "Road To Alphabet 64 Orb" challenge to go through levels to collect all the Orbs. One teammate would start in Aquaria Towers, and another would start in Zephyr. Each would work towards either forwards or backwards in the Alphabet as they went to collect Orbs. Paesani Di Legaia won.

The following GARION MODE Activations were logged:

Gentle's GARION MODE Activations:


 * 1) Gentle refused to collect a Talisman in any of the levels, since it's 64 ORB
 * 2) Gentle collected the Catbat Quartet Skill Point in Skelos Badlands.
 * 3) Gentle did Monkey Noises (TM) after completing Skelos Badlands Bone Dance, in reference to The MonkeMinds.
 * 4) Gentle collected the Metro Speedway Time Attack Skill Point.
 * 5) Despite not really needing to do anything in Magma Cone by the time he got there, Gentle still went out of his way to collect the Magma Cone Party Crashers Orb. It was supposed to be the team's 65th Orb.

Al's GARION MODE Activations:


 * 1) Al did a Weird Jump in Canyon Speedway.
 * 2) Al collected the Flawless Victory Skill Point for Colossus Hockey 2.
 * 3) Al completed Fracture Hills Alchemist without failing the challenge once.

A collaborative GARION MODE Activation was also logged: both Al and Gentle ended their side of the speedrun in the exact same level (Magma Cone).

TOTAL GARION MODE Activations: 9

Paesani Di Legaia completed a Miracle Art.

Road To Spyro Kingdom (2021)
Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn watched a Crassic Speedrunning Championship title shot between Yogamoanyo and g4video5 during King of Spyro Style (2021). Upon seeing it, he planned to embark on a quest to become a strong enough speedrunner to take a shot at the Crassic title himself. He divulged his plans to Amelia Kuchel, who decided to save him a lot of time and energy by just asking the hosts (Fissure and Nintendogen) if Gentle could take a stab at the title. They accepted.

The original goal was to do Crash Bash All Trophies; however, time constraints prevented this from being actualized, and a Crash Bash Any% run was done instead. While not specified, No Memory Manip was implicitly the format chosen.

Gentle activated GARION MODE in the following instances:


 * 1) He had his webcam on for his visual display, as the Road To Spyro Kingdom match card effectively used an irl picture and just called him "Garion." While annoyed by this, he tried to be a good sport.
 * 2) He included a picture of Mori Calliope - a VTuber whom he likened to being his FBI Agent as a joke - in his layout. Part of this was also an attempted shoutout to Liam.
 * 3) Gentle chose to play as Rilla Roo, sticking to his guns.
 * 4) After Papu Pummel, Gentle "skulled" a glass of scotch (as Amelia put it).
 * 5) During Space Bash Crystal, Gentle did a Mutual Kill with Dingodile which turned him into a spiritual hologram. The visual gag was in of itself a GARION MODE, due to the unusual circumstances.
 * 6) Gentle had to AFK to go to the bathroom, choosing to go after getting a "39" in Pogo-A-Gogo Crystal.
 * 7) After Bearminator, Gentle "skulled" a glass of scotch. He made the mistake of having served himself more than intended, a fact which was pointed out at his expense.
 * 8) Bathroom Break #2 was taken while failing Metal Fox Crystal ("8th GARION MODE By Technicality"). After the Bathroom Break, Gentle won the Metal Fox Crystal.
 * 9) After Big Bad Fox, Gentle "skulled" a glass of scotch.
 * 10) Gentle did a TOTOzigemm Impression by mimicking his "Little Bitch Alert" during Sky Balls Trophy.
 * 11) Gentle did Sky Balls Crystal.
 * 12) Gentle hummed the "Toxic Waste" instrumental from Crash Bandicoot 1, during Toxic Dash Trophy.
 * 13) Gentle won the Jungle Fox Trophy after losing it to Tiny (who was incidentally the character g4video5 was playing).
 * 14) Gentle won the Jungle Fox Gem first try.
 * 15) Gentle won the Drain Bash Crystal first try.
 * 16) Gentle kindly greeted Cyreides when he appeared during the tail end of the race.
 * 17) Bathroom Break #3 was taken while in Pogo Padlock Trophy.
 * 18) Gentle's demeanour kept making g4video5 super salty throughout the race ("Salty Eric")
 * 19) Gentle finished off a chocolate bar after Oxide Ride.

SPYRO KINGDOM 2
Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn had to do a couple games to defend titles he held in the Tag Team Championship and Crassic Championship. Almost as soon as he knew who he was going up against, he expected to lose both titles. This would have significantly derailed a plan for a "Unification Arc" which had been initially discussed by others in the ISGP Discord.
