Background:
Enard Slade is the only surviving son of a minor noble family of Korvosa. Blessed with a high level of intelligence, his father Renton enrolled him into the Acadamae, but although Enard grasped the theory of magic quickly, his first love was swordplay. His study of magic stayed very much focus on spells that could complement his combat ability or cause damage in their own right. His father encouraged his sword training, with the strange condition that he focus on heavier blades, rather than the rapiers popular amongst the young nobility of Korvosa.
When he was in his late teens, Enard’s mother Loria passed away, and his father quickly fell into a spiral of drinking, drug taking and gambling. Within a few years he too passed, leaving Enard to pay off his crippling debts. The creditors took all the gold and the family’s modest estate, and in the end Enard was forced to sell the family title to avoid retribution from the nobles and thieves that his father had borrowed money from. Whilst cleaning out the family home, Enard came across a black bladed bastard sword of unusual design, mouldering in the attic. Although it seemed unremarkable beyond its quality and embellishments, he felt strangely attached to it, and resolved to keep it, and take up the life of a sell sword and battle mage, the sword that he dubbed Heartstriker ever by his side.
Enard both despises the nobles who abandoned his family in their time of need, and desperately (but secretly) wants back into that life, hating himself for it at the same time. He fights and adventures for the thrill, somewhat addicted to the rush of danger, but also for the money, a chance to buy back some of what he has lost.
In recent months, the black bladed sword has begun to whisper to him, first in his dreams, now while he is awake, and a power appears to be growing within it ... and a determination for something that remains as yet uncommunicated.
