Background:
Born to a thatcher in Restov, William had a fairly boring life until one day, while out buying thatch from a local farm, he heard a scream for help from the nearby woods. Dashing into the forest, he came across a boy around his own age face to face with a mountain lion. Grabbing some nearby stones, Will began barraging the cat, and eventually scared it off. The boy, named Varis, and will quickly became fast friends. Varis was the son of an Aldori Swordlord, who had run off and gotten lost.
After the rescue, the two were nearly inseparable, and Will began picking up bits of knowledge from Varis’s studies. Varis was destined to become a Swordlord, like his father, and Will became to serve as a sort of page to the lad. Will even joined the local militia while Varis was in weapons training, and played the drums to keep march time. The night Varis graduated from the academy was supposed the be a night to remember, and it was. Will and Varis had gone to a local tavern to celebrate. They caroused and drank, sharing boasts about how quickly Varis would rise in the ranks, when a drunken brawl broke out. A few drunks should be easy for an apprentice sword lord and his trusted friend, but there are some things they don’t teach you. A flash of steel, and a fountain of red and it was over. Varis was slashed viciously across the gut, and in only a few moments, lay dead in Will’s arms. Will carried the corpse all the way to Varis’s father, his heart torn asunder. Will asked the man if he could take Varis’s place, and live his life for the both of them. At first, he was tempted to say no, but he saw the look in Will’s eyes, and agreed to a compromise. Will became his pupil, and would undertake a crash course in everything from the arcane to weapon work, and then, Will would have to prove himself to the sword lords. Only then, could he take Varis’s place. In less than a year, Will’s lessons were complete, and Will began looking for a way to prove himself. It was then, that the charter was announced to explore the Stolen Land’s. Grasping Varis’s old sword, a gift from his mentor, Will sets out to prove himself a worthy heir to Varis’s blood legacy. |
