Author: Nakaros Date: Tue Aug 3 23:07:21 2010 Subject Nakaros Background Growing up with the dargonesti was very peaceful for Nakaros who it was discovered at an early age he had a talent for the arcane. The speaker of the moons upon learning of this decided to take a personal interest in the boys magical training teaching him to control the magic that seemed to have blessed him. He spent his days with the speaking in training and at night returned home to his parents and two older brothers until that terrible night before his 90th birthday when he tried to cast a spell that the speaker had forbidden as being far too dangerous for him. Nakaros beleiving the speaker was just being overly cautious decided to cast the spell in his room and show the speaker he was more capable than he he was given credit. But Nakaros was wrong the spell went awry and as he screamed in pain and fear his parents rushed into his room only to be consumed by a blast of magical energy killing them both. Nakaros awoke a week later in the speakers home looking up he saw the dissapointed face of his master gazing down at him. He was then told that the council known as the speaker of the blood had decided he should be put to death the speaker however decided that as punishment for his foolish pride Nakaros should be banished sending him to live on the land with his shame and to ensure he learned to respect the power he was gifted with and to learn the patience needed to control it he contacted a friend who lived in Palanthas to take the boy under his wing. His brother being less forgiving followed him onto land and continue to hunt him seeking revenge on the one who killed their parents. Author: Nakaros Date: Wed Aug 4 03:28:48 2010 Subject Finding the path Upon arriving in Palanthas Nakaros began his search for the one the speaker mentioned with little luck. After wandering around Palanthas for some time he decided to stop in a small bar and have a drink. The sign over the door displays a red moon identifying the tavern as the Witching Light Lounge. As Nakaros walks over to the bar and orders a glass of wine he is approached by a hooded figure wearing a luminous red robe. As the figure sits on the stool next to him she removes the hood to reveal a beautiful woman with fire red hair. She says her name is Luni and asks him what he is looking for in Palanthas. He looks at her over the rim of his glass introducing himself as Nakaros and says he is looking for someone to teach him to control the magic that flows through him but that he has not had much luck. She smiles as she looks into her own glass and asks for what purpose does he want to become a mage. He says he has always had a certain affinity for magic but that he needs to learn the patience and discipline to properly master it. She looks up from her glass to gaze into his eyes seemingly searching for something soon she smiles again and says she can help him. She motions for the bartender to bring them both another glass and hands one to Nakaros she raises her glass in a toast. As the wine passes his lips Nakaros begins to feel drowsy he looks up just in time to see the woman smiling and hears her say sweet dreams. He awakens after midnight outside the gates of Palanthas. He staggers to his feet looking around he sees the red moon of Lunitari and for a moment thinks he sees it wink at him but he decides its just his imagination. A woman in white robes appears before him in a flash of light looking around she says you must be Nakaros. Author: Nakaros Date: Wed Aug 25 13:48:07 2010 Subject Return to the Sea Nakaros was sitting in his room at the tower of wayreth looking at the sea in his scrying mirror. Suddenly he heard a voice say "You miss it dont you?" turning around he saw his master standing in the doorway. Walking into the room his master said "I did not mean to disturb you but you missed your lesson." Nakaros looks up from his mirror sighing and says "I can't help it I just cant seem to focus lately." Sitting down in a chair across from Nakaros his master smiles and says "I understand the sea will always be your home, I have a friend in Palanthas he recently finished the building of a ship called the Tempest, perhaps you should go and spend some time at sea again ." Nakaros looks at his master with a shocked look on his face saying "But what about my studies master?" Handing Nakaros a small blue spellbook he says "This was the spellbook I used when I first started just follow it and you will be fine, just return to see me every 6 months so I can see how you are progressing." Hugging his master Nakaros begins to pack his things for the journey to Palanthas.
