Velkyn Millitharn's page

Velkyn Millitharn was born into the "Greatest Noble of Houses in Kev'ronn", House Millitharn, primarily a very wealthy merchant trade house. Incidentally, all Noble Houses of Kev'ronn are the greatest regardless whom one would ask. A few months after Velkyn was born, his parents Vlonlil and Zarlindra, noticed he had seem not to have the muscle mass as his other male and female siblings, perhaps a birth defect that affected his strength? For now, his parents would ignore this defect and maybe grow out of it before his adult trials? If not, he would be kicked out of House Millitharn, stripped of all titles, and be known as a Nau Qu'ellar (aka no house, orphaned, street filth). Perhaps if Velkyn was born in another house or another drow city, he would be killed, sacrificed, or banished? However, in Kev'ronn, the most loyal house resident excluding pets that acted like dogs was kin. This was probably the only reason why his parents waited until his trials because every child or relative is a valuable ally and force multiplier. Before then, he was taught everything a noble drow should know but was teased and pushed around by his siblings. Because of this Velkyn became very quick on his feet and first to react to any danger, life threatening and not.

Velkyn's parents became infuriated as Velkyn did not gain in physical strength, yelled at him, and whipped him, "Either you grow in strength so you can both defend and support this house in trade, or you will be a Nau Qu'ellar!" After his beating, Velkyn ran out of the house into the courtyard, he started to cry not because of the pain but becoming a no body, “By the gods, please help me?!” And one deity answered his prayers not because he was the ultimate in scheming or evil but to keep universal balance. Unbeknownst to Velkyn, it was one of Nethys' servants that would answer him, the beautiful succubus Yamasha appeared in the shadows of the garden and walked out to where Velkyn could see her, "I will help you but you must pledge to worship Nethys and no one else.” Velkyn turned around in surprise to see a very beautiful woman with demonic features wearing see through clothing showing all of her feminine procreation assets. He began to stare at her chest and below, taking in the view, forgetting all his troubles, and replies in a stammer, "I pledge ... I pledge." The succubus smiles at Velkyn and begins to seduce the young Drow. She really did not have to seduce him to grant him Nethys’ power but she was attracted to the young adult drow and Nethys had other plans for the Drow's seed. While things started to become passionately hot, she whispered into his ear, "You will not only be able to harness magic, you will be able to harness raw magical power." Just before the world was beyond wonderful, there was a flash, silence, and everything fades into darkness.

What feels like moments later, Velkyn realizes his parents are looking at him in displeasure while he lies on the bench with his eyes barely opened. Then Velkyn's father reaches for him in anger and not wanting to be punished, Velkyn thinks not to be within arm’s reach of his angry father. There is first a flash in Velkyn's eyes then a physical flash. Velkyn reappears 10' away; he looks at his parents with amazement and then notices his clothes lying next to the bench. He looks down to notice he is in his birthday suit, turns red in embarrassment, and instantly hides his parts. Velkyn looks left then right, he then takes off running grabbing a shrub branch here and there, and runs to his room covered in his natural coverings. Shortly after Velkyn arrives to his room and locks the door, a glowing sword comes crashing through his door, and his door splinters into a million wood pieces. Velkyn's next oldest brother, Tazennin, who has been displeased with Velkyn's so called family dishonor and who has picked on him the most since he was a toddler walks in. Velkyn stares into his Tazennin’s eyes, "What do you want Brother?!" Tazennin replies, "You will no longer dishonor this family and it is obvious I have never like you!" Velkyn points his finger at his brother, "The feeling is mutual." Velkyn’s brother raises his sword preparing for a charge, then there is a flash of red in Velkyn's eyes and a ray of very sharp stones comes spewing forth towards his brother. The sharp stones bypass Tazennin’s natural noble drow’s resistance to magic, shreds his armor and the stones push deeply into his brother's flesh. Tazennin drops his sword and falls to the ground bleeding and near death. At which time, Velkyn's parents angrily walk in and are amazed at the scene before them. Velkyn's father picks up his brother's sword while his mother looks at Velkyn. If you can heal him, you will honor the family and you can stay in Noble House Millitharn as a Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Velkyn walks up to his brother, he holds out his hand flat above his brother, thinks to himself to heal with conviction. As before there is a flash of red in Velkyn's eyes and healing white raw magical power issues forth below Velkyn's hand, then stops before Tazennin is fully healed, "I will heal him no more mother but he should be able to barely walk out of here on his own and will survive.” Velkyn stands up and backs away from his brother. He looks at his parents who have a wicked smile across their face, "Welcome Noble Velkyn, Sorcerer Apprentice of House Millitharn, we can use you, and now report to Sorcerer, Master Numrini'th!"

Master Numrini'th was a traditional spell caster and not a manipulator of raw and ancient magical power. Traditional spell casters, even sorcerers, use a predefined or innate formula to tunnel into the realm of magic to form an outcome. While Velkyn’s power is actually a direct tap in the realm of magic and divinity; and can mold raw arcane and divine power allowing him to customize his magical outcome. This is why manipulators like Velkyn can cast magic while wearing armor and silenced. They still need concentration and anything that can interrupt that can disrupt the manipulation of raw arcane and divine power. In summary, Velkyn was more of a subject of observation and Master Rex became the student. After Master Numrini’th saw that Velkyn was wasting time and coin, he released him from his studies. Those who passed their studies go through the adult rite of passage and Velkyn was one of them. He stood next to his brother, Tazennin, during the ceremony whom had more respect for his brother the last time they were together. They now picked on each in a playful and hilarious way.

Shortly after the ceremonies, Velkyn was moved to the front office service as both sales manager and body guard. He worked there until his father noticed he spent 10,500 gold in one week purchasing private items for himself. Vlonlil approached his son, “Since you want to spend 10,500 gold pieces of the house's money on yourself, you are now cut off until you prove yourself further. There is word that important customers, Father Dawnsinger, a cleric of the Platinum Dragon Balserius and other drow have gone missing by entering a city temple. I want you to represent House Millitharn in the search of these missing persons and the reasons why to bring prestige and glory to our house. You can keep all the treasure you find and if you bring further prestige and glory to the house, we will reinstate your privileges. Now go and find some friends or meet some at the temple when you find out which one. I wouldn’t go at it alone if I was you.” Velkyn gathers the belongings that were the focus of him being cut off and now on this mission of his to bring prestige and glory to House Millitharn.
