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.

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.

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.
