Xzylvador Del'Shai's page

Born 124 years ago in Iadara, the capitol of the ancestral Elven homeland Kyonin, Xzylvador grew up free of care and in wealth and prosperity, sheltered from the outside world.
Even at early age he showed a remarkable intellect, always eager to learn and quick to understand. He constantly asked questions about anything that piqued his curiosity and everything interested him. Often not simply accepting the answers his elders gave him unless explained in great detail, the young boy spent much time looking for his own solutions to the puzzles life lay before him. More than anything else, this stubborn refusal to accept things without question shaped the path that lied ahead of him.
Along with above-average intelligence, Xzylvador also showed an aptitude for magic. When the time came and he was old enough, he started tutelage in a school of wizardry and arcane research to properly learn the art of magic.

Much to the satisfaction of his tutors and family, he progressed quickly and showed great promise. So much, in fact, that he was accepted into the Apprentices of the Seers Circle, a prestigious school specialized in the most respected magical art among the elves: Divination.
Xzylvador listened, studied, learned and understood more than was expected of him but never stopped asking for more. He kept questioning the most ancient of traditions and dogmas, not ready to accept them and take the answers for granted. It all came down to one great question: if Divination showed the path of Fate, laid out ahead in time and certain and fixed as the present, then what was he to think of Luck and Freedom, the of the most important aspects of the Goddess Desna, matron Deity of the Elves? Unaccustomed to their answers being questioned and possibly even more so to not having a definitive answer to those questions, his teachers and superiors were uncertain how they should handle this most promising but somewhat troublesome student.

And so it happened that soon, after only a short decade of apprenticeship, his teachers and superiors summoned Xzylvador to their council and told him that while he had the talent and skill to achieve great things in the arcane arts, his mind and soul required teaching in a different method than they could provide. They advised him to seek his education elsewhere and advised him to speak to the priests and clerics, perhaps religion could provide him with the answers he sought.

Respectful of their knowledge, he accepted their wise council. But despite the obvious connection a wizard with an interest in theology had with Nethys, God of Magic, Xzylvador instead chose to seek the help and guidance of the clerics and bards of the Goddess Desna, whose domains of Luck, Dreams and Freedom seemed to be the exact opposite of the strict knowledge and certainty offered by his magical specialty.

The priests and clerics of Desna were somewhat surprised by such a strange request. It doesn't happen often that a learned mage apprentice of a respected school drops out to instead seek guidance from what appeared to be its theological counterpart. But being a religion of freedom, they could hardly refuse anyone from choosing his own path and they accepted Xzylvador into the fold.

The course of the young elf's study and apprenticeship with the Church of Desna bore much resemblance to that which he followed with the Apprentices of the Seers Circle. For every answer he was offered, two more questions were asked. The priests were patient and understanding but eventually came to the same conclusion of the diviners. The young priest needed more than lessons and guidance and needed to find answers elsewhere than in dusty old tomes and ancient scrolls.
To satisfy his curiosity and quench his thirst for knowledge and understanding, Xzylvador needed something education could not offer: experience.

Meanwhile, Xzylvador enjoyed the status his family's wealth and his rank own as mage apprentice and diviner provided him with. He loved dressing in the most fancy outfits and enjoying expensive drinks and frequently performed magical tricks or boasted about his accomplishments to impress the ladies. It seemed perhaps a bit shallow, but he felt that was barely a century old and needed to enjoy the freedom that came with youth.
But Xzylvador understood that despite his intellect and studies, he actually knew very little about what life outside of the city was like. He'd spent much time bent over old scrolls and tomes but felt he could learn so much more by doing new and exciting things, meeting and talking to people. After a century even the big city started to feel small and he wondered about what lay beyond its immediate surroundings. Of course he'd read books, dozens if not hundreds, about places and people far away, some not even on this plane. But Xzylvador felt he'd never truly understand these things without going there and witnessing the things his mind could not imagine.

Wasn't Desna also the Godess of Travel? Goddess of the Stars even. Imagine traveling that far...
So when the time came that the clerics told Xzylvador he should head out into the world and seek experience through action and travel instead of lecture and prayer, he couldn't be more relieved. And because he had been ordained to do so by his superiors, his departure wouldn't embarrass his family, in fact, they supported him.

So he set out to leave the school, the temple and the city he grew up in. He had no goal or destination. He would learn to understand the paradox between Fate and Chance by letting them decide where his journey would take him.

And that appears to be Sandpoint. Taking random paths, following his gut feeling and allowing things like flocks of birds, the direction of the win, the position of the stars and the color of nature to guide his way, he came into town some time ago and his desire to travel faded. There appeared to be nothing pulling him away from here, in fact he felt the opposite. It seems to him Fate -or is it Chance?- wanted Xzylvador to be here.

He's been in the city for quite a while now, waiting for what will happen next. In the meanwhile, Xzylvador found a way to keep him busy, eagerly studying the lore of the lost Thassilonian civilization of which many ruins and items can be found in the region. Maybe that's why he's here, it could be he is fated to make a grand discovery!
