Photo of Alurad
Appearance: Alurad is average height with a slender build.. Nintos is tan with long light blond hair that he keeps pulled back in a loose ponytail. A clean kempt beard covers his face. Since Breaunna’s passing, many women have found him attractive. But he has never taken another wife or lover.
Personality: Alurad is loyal to a fault. He hopes for the best in all people but has seen the evil that walks this wold. He enjoys a good book just as much as he enjoys learning of the local myths over a hand of cards.
Family:: Breaunna Sorizan (Wife - Deceased), Sarah Sorizan (Daughter - Deceased at Birth), Alexander Sorizan (Son - Acolyte of Pharasma), Thom Carson (Father-in-Law - Deceased)
History: At the age of 17 Alurad and the love of his life, Breaunna (16), took one another as lovers under the starry fall sky. From this Breaunna became pregnant, and the two were wed that winter. Breaunna took to cleaning, cooking, and mending the clothing in the noble’s manor. Alurad used his intellect to become a scribe at the local library/school/temple. The two together made a meager wage, but they had each other. Alexander was born late the following summer.
By the time Alurad was 20, he was noticed by the local academy, and he worked his way to gain a proper education.
Breaunna took care to see that they did not get pregnant again, but she longed for a daughter. They decided to try for one when Alurad was 24. The gods shone on them, and they quickly became pregnant. But the gods just as quickly took their light away. Late in her pregnancy Breaunna had complications. She went into labor early, neither her nor the baby girl survived.
Alexander was 7 when his mother passed. Alurad, a hurt widower, pledged to raise his son the best he could. But the pain of lost led Alurad to the bottle and he quickly became the husk of the man he was. Unable to care for his son, he gave Alexander over to be an acolyte at the temple of Pharasma. Someone, anyone, could do a better job than he.
Alurad pulled himself out of the bottle after losing everything he and Breaunna had worked for. He began in the arcane arts, and found it to come to him easily. Alurad found that the study helped him stay away from the taverns and the ale that stole part of his life. It was during this time where he worked to become a member of the Arcanists' Circle. All the while keeping track of his son who was learning to become cleric of Pharasma.
12 years have passed since Alurad lost Breaunna, but the ring she gave him on his wedding day has never left his hand. He is a proud father of Alexander who has been sent off on his own pilgrimage. Nothing keeps Alurad to the place he calls home, he finds himself lost in thought as to what is next for him as he spins the wedding band on his finger. Wondering if he had wasted the 25 gold he just paid for the Arcanists' Circle, but he is now a novice.
