CHARACTER BIO
Since the rise of May’Kar, my family lived as simple traveling merchants.
In the year 235, my father and mother fled the May’Kar Dominion to the Kingdom of Vandregon. My parents, both followers of Ilyara of the West, believed that the great betrayal of the May’Kar people was due to their lack of faith in the Divine powers of the planet. In this belief, they both fought alongside the Kingdom of Vandregon for years in an attempt to rid the world of the undead menace.
In the year 240, my mother gave birth to me. Still feeling guilty for the May’Kar Dominion’s betrayal, and their desire that I grow up not knowing the undead plague, my parents returned to the front lines. Given that the front lines was no fit place to raise a child, my parents sent me to live with my uncle in a small sea port town in the Kingdom of Aldoria. Unfortunately, both my parents died in 241 during a raid on their camp by an infiltrating band of penitent fighters.
My uncle, who turned to drink after the death of his younger sister, did his best to raise me. My uncle taught me all he knew about my parents, including their faith in Ilyara of the West. My uncle, always in despair, told me that my parents died fighting the blasphemers who strayed from the divine calling and became worshipers of the darker powers that thrive in the dark recesses of this world.
In year 251, my uncle and I sailed to the colony of New Hope after the fighting between the settlers and the Ulven calmed down. During the voyage my uncle succumbed to illness and died on the first day of the crossing. There I was, alone, afraid, and without any guidance in this world. Standing on the deck of the ship I stared down into the abyss and began yearning for an end to my short and lonely life. It was at that moment that I felt a strong gust of wind pour over me. I felt as a newly blossomed flower feels after a gentle morning rain. I was revived and given strength to carry on in this life. I was certain that Ilyara of the West had raised me from the depths of despair and guided me towards the light of the Divine mother. I was a young lad but I would learn how to survive in this world. I would learn the truth behind the fall of the May’Kar, and the fate of my parents. I would learn of the divine forces that empower the faithful. I would dedicate myself to the following of Ilyara of the West.
It was rough when I first arrived in the colony of New Hope. I had no family and no friends to call upon. Fortunately, an old widowed craftsman, who had recently lost his only child during the fighting with the Ulven, needed help running his small enterprise. Although a modest and simple man, the old craftsman taught me everything he knew about trade and his skills in crafting. In the year 267, the old craftsman died leaving me his shop and small business. I now venture into this world as a merchant, but always I remain true to my faith as a worshiper of Ilyara of the West.
