Tamas the Wanderer's page

The monk was born in the town of Ustalav during the events of the Carrion Crown AP. Seeing so much death and undeath around him, the child felt scared, and confused, but he took solace when he traveled to the one place where he felt the undead could not hurt him, a small temple of Iomedae on the outskirts of the city. There, the high cleric would always welcome him with a smile, and the child would sit and listen to a discussion of ethics or morality, learning things like how to be kind or generous or noble.

As the child grew older, his visits to the temple did not wane. Even as a young man, he wanted to know everything he could about the sanctity of life and how to be a good person. Finally, the high cleric smiled and said, "I have taught you everything I know, my son."

However, the young man still had questions. Questions that he knew the high cleric could not answer. So he decided to travel to another town and pray at the temple there for guidance.

But when the young man arrived, he found not a temple, but a monastery in that town. Still, it was a place of religious teaching, so the young man stopped and spoke to the elder there. He was so moved by the elder's words of ascetism and denial of the self above others that the young man stayed at the monastery and trained himself in their ways, becoming a monk.

After three years at the temple, the monk told his master that it was time for him to move on. He still sought the answers to those questions he had arrived at town with so long ago. What is the meaning of life and death? Why do the gods allow people to tamper with its cycle so easily?

The monk moved from town to town, praying at temples and spending time at monasteries, seeking the answers. Always searching, never stopping.
