RoleChapter 1 Background Added Thu Jul 10 08:22:58 2003 at level 4:Zhenzar Kraliara was born within deep within a forgotten duergar encampment in the sewers of Galadon. His father, Jikola was a warrior devoted fighting with swords and axes and when Zhenzar was younger they often practiced as Jikola said that a man must be able to handle weapons to survice. Zhenzar like the training his father gave him, but a true warrior he would never be. His mother died giving birth to Zhenzar, so the mother role within his child- hood was forfilled by the local priestess, a woman of holyness and great powers. Trelina as her name was was a true healer, her prayers would heal even the deepest wounds or cure the strongst poison. Zhenzar was facinated by the fact that even his father, a strong warrior had difficulties from time to time that he couldnt handle, once a poison nearly killed him, and then Trelina stood forward, mixed a few herbs, and prayed to her Lord and moments after, Jikola was within a deep sleep. Zhenzar looked at Trelina, then at his father again, and moments after Jikola stood up, and not a single wound was to be seen upon him. Zhenzar was shocked, how could a single prayer heal the deep wounds in just a few hours?! Zhenzar began to make up excuses for quitting his fathers training and visisted Trelina within her temple instead, learning a few prayers. It required all his inteligence and wisdom to just make a simple prayer, but he continued to study the art of healing and prayers. Shortly after a tournament was held for the children of the encampment one that his father had arranged because he wanted to prove to rest of the encampment that his son, Zhenzar was indeed a true warrior and not a mere priest. Zhenzar was a little scared because he had skipped his weapon practice and focused upon the prayers instead. His dark heart wanted to win, but there was no way he could defeat the strongst child in the village who had practiced with swords and maces his entire youth. Zhenzar heard of a dark altar placed within the sewers somewhere, and went there he stumbled across a few prayers that he had never seen before, after a few days of hard work he had learned himself a prayer that would render the victim blind, and another prayer would poison the veins of them. He was thrilled when the day of the tournament came, the first battles he could fight and win with just his sword and shield, but in the final he was rushed by his opponent, and had to flee briefly, uttering the few prayers he had learned so far, healing his wounds, and when he was rushed again he was prepared. He uttered the prayer he learned and the foe was struck blind. With a satisfying look upon his face, he walked around the blind foe, and then uttered another prayed and his foe collapsed in pain upon the ground poison running within his veins. Victory was near, he could feel it. There was a total silence when he raised his sword high above his head, hammered it into the helm of the blind man before him.
He had won!
A few years passed and Zhenzar studied in secret at the dark altar he had found, but soon realised that he would learn nothing more from it. It was time to move on. He gathered his trusted weapons in the night, and left the encampment never to return, that he knew. He set up to the town above, but found it to chaotic to live in, so he moved on until he reached the ocean near Hamzah and within the horizon, he could see land. He bought a small raft and
