About Benjamin Korvon

When one is curious about the world, then tend to try and learn about it. That's how Benjamin was when he was younger. He was fascinated with the world around him and his parents helped indulge him in the experience. They lived in a small house outside of Riftview, about a mile outside toward the Rift. There, his parents were herbalist and alchemist, studying plants and using them as a way to create new medicine and potions. They liked explaining what and how plants were used in their research to their son. In time, Benjamin slowly began to learn much from his parents.

However, this life was not meant to be. One day, Benjamin's parents sent him out to fetch water for them. When he got back he found their house a burning inferno. The bucket of water slipped from his hands and he stared in disbelief. The 12 year old boy couldn't believe what he was looking at. He didn't know or understand what had caused the fire, but he knew what had happened. The Rift. Creatures from it must have attacked the house. His parents had warned him of the Rift. Powerful, evil creatures lurked in the Rift and now they had destroyed his home, his love, his life. Confused and afraid, he fled the scene in tears, he couldn't look back at the thing that used to be his house.

Alone in the wild, Benjamin knew no survival skills. It surely seemed like the end for him soon. It would have been like that, had he not been found by two wandering druids. They claimed the could hear nature told them of a child who had a tragic incident, claiming Benjamin was that child. They asked if they could help him, outstretching an arm to him. Benjamin didn't trust the people exactly, but they wanted to help and he didn't know what else to do. Reaching out to the hand, he accepted their help.

For the next few years, the druids taught Benjamin on their ways. Eventually, he learned to communicate to the Green Faith. Once he was 20, the druids left him, saying they taught him everything they could for now. He had to live for himself. Benjamin thanked the druids for all they did for him and watched on the plains as they left. With his new power, he was sure of one thing. He would take revenge on the Rift for what it had done years ago. With his knowledge of the druidic powers, he planned to cleanse the Rift any way he could. Going back into Riftview, after being away from civilization for so long, seemed alien to him. He had to find someone to help his cause.
