History:
Magnus Corvus was born the youngest son of the Magistrate (Shire Reeve) of Northshire in the Kingdom of Darokin. Growing up in their hall in the village of Mar, the youngest son of House Rook was noted for his quick mind and fleet feet. Tutored by the ancient Wizard of the Rook, young Magnus devoured his studies like a starving man would a banquet. It was of no surprise to any that the old wizard wished to sponsor his young protege to the School of Wizardry in Glantri City, far to the north. While not a wealthy House, the magistrate saw much potential in sending his young son away to school, and with the lucky find of a valuable copper mine, was able to do so.
For seven years Magnus toiled at the School, learning his trade, and making many valuable connections for his family. Now just past his apprenticeship and starting work on his finals, Magnus has taken a Sabbatical to help his family. A friend of his father has need of assistance in the far-off Kingdom of Vestland. First he stopped off home, back to Rookshall in Mar to visit his family. From there he accompanied some family cargo to the port of Athenos. From here it was a month journey by cog east past several ports until the ship finally made anchor at Norrvik.
Magnus arranged for the sale of the ship’s goods, and with the profit was able to ‘deal’ with his father’s friend’s problem with a small amount left for himself. Unfortunately he had heard of further troubles in the town of Roona, further inland. Seeing this as a possible chance to further his education, and perhaps come back with some rare bit of lore from the Northern Kingdoms, Magnus traveled to the town in search of knowledge and adventure.
