Othniel Laurentius's page

Othniel was born into the Riftwardens, but soon thereafter made an orphan, when his parents disappeared into the Worldwound. He was thereafter raised by his uncle, the Riftwarden Aravashnial, who saw to it that he was trained in magic and the blade. While young Othniel was an adequate student of magic, he excelled at the blade, becoming highly skilled with a rapier from a young age. As the decades went by, he leaned more and more into this side of his training, and somewhat neglected his magical studies, to his uncle's chagrin. Nevertheless, when he was on the cusp of adulthood, Aravashnial presented him with an ancient, finely wrought elven rapier that had been in the family for generations. Supposedly it contained a dormant spirit of great power, one which only a great swordsman could awaken. He stated with confidence that he was sure Othniel could awaken the spirit within the blade.

Othniel is a quiet, somewhat moody, dark-haired elf, of average height. Despite being raised around many humans, he has the elven attitude towards them, having seen so many of them grow, bloom, wither, and die while the years passed him like days. While his own magic is limited, he sees magic as the most respectable pursuit of the learned, especially arcane magic, and has little time for those who cannot cast spells.

Othniel wears no armor, and carries a rapier and spellbook.
