Author: Isildore Date: Sat Feb 20 16:57:22 2010 Subject The origins of Isildore "Isildore!!!!", shouted a young maiden as she ran upto a young human lounging beside a pond with his fishing pole half embedded on the ground. The young human slowly opened his half closed eyes and fixed his gaze towards the frilly little handmaiden that worked in his house. "A note from your father .", the maiden waved a sealed envelope that bore news from the outside world. Slowly the young man received the envelope and opened it. Reading the contents did not take long. It was from his father and along with it instructions from the mayor about the troubles in the Palanthas sewers . "Rats!!!!", exclaimed the young man. "They sent me after rats!!!!".exclaimed the young man. The tall silhouette of the young man could be seen trudging down a lone hill towards the stable.

"I am Isildore.The mayor is expecting me!", announced the knight as he shoved the opened letter at the gate guard.The guard nods his head and motions for him to pass . The tall spires of Palanthas was a spectacle to behold. The grim faced knight moved along towards town hall for further instructions A spectacled middle-aged lady looked up at the letter of introduction fixing his gaze at the young man. " Well the mayor is currently out of town and I am his secretary.Here are your orders for now." Shoving a map of the city and some scribbled instructions at the young warrior, she motioned for him to get along. "Rats!!!", exclaimed the young knight as he pulled his sword from the last swarm of vermins that infested the lower regions of the sewers below Palanthas. " Father mentioned I was to seek experience here, at the libraries and here it is I am ordered for a clean up job!!!!", cursed the young knight. Thoughts of the knights in shining armor filled his head as his thoughts moved towards the painting he kept of the Knights of Solamnia."One day I will be a Knight!!" exclaimed the young warrior. The lone warrior pushed onwards into the dark murky depths of the sewers. Author: Isildore Date: Sat Feb 27 14:48:27 2010 Subject A meeting with Ghargan the minotaur. A scarred warrior covered with slime climbs out of a manhole . His fixed gaze and slow gait brings him to the local temples for healing and washing. "I am going to do something cleaner after this.", mumbled the lone warrior as he trudged out of the temple. After reporting in his successful mission at the sewers, the young warrior decided to head to Tarsis wherein he would improve his experience and training. "Tarsis is good experience and the street thugs here bolsters up my strength and reputation." Drawing out a sharp shortsword from the motionless body of a street thug that was identified earlier as part of the scorpion groups, Isildore fixed his gaze at a lone figure walking up to him. The person was tall and strong with horns protruding out of his head. The minotaur walked up to the warrior and says "Hello I am Ghargan, may I join you?" Obviously the warriors fame had reached ears of others as well. The duo spent days and months clearing up the streets of Tarsis before heading back to Palanthas. The minotaur had more experience and it wasn't before long that they were sparring with the sailors in the port of Palanthas lounging around Parlack's shop. After a few fruitful months sharing comradeship, Ghargan had to leave. Ghargan says 'take care Isildore. there are many who are not your friends' 'Yes I will becareful', answered the young warrior as they both bid farewell .

Unfolding the letter the knight broke into tears as he read " Dearest son, if you are reading this it would mean that I am no more . I have kept what you required with the mayor of the city including the land titles and assets. You are to continue your training to be a Knight of Solamnia and until you are ready will you take my place. Do not fail your family, for the blood of the Solamnic people runs true within your body." The parcel contained his father's sword, armor and family ring. The grim set faced warrior retreated to his room and started of writing a new note to be delivered to the Knights of Solamnia. "Dear Knights, I am petitioning to join your ranks . "
