Padin was born 18 years ago His intrest in magic started at age 6
when solace
was under seige by draconians that day he had whitnessed a mage
in red robes
with a wood staff with a dracon claw atop of it the mage had been
with a group
of heroes fighting some draconians off after seeing some of the
magic the mage
used agianst the draconains padin admired magic from that day on
he liked
magic so much he tryed finding out as much as he could about it
wich was hard
because he live in a solmaic family who distrusted mages to thier
full exstent
padin was an half elf who was abandoned because of his human
features the
solomic husban and wife quickly adopted him with no questions
asked when padin
was seven years old he sneaked off to a mage school near solace
when he got
there he bugged and bugged to see the school master "what would
you like

gifted with magic

young child"
Asked the school master "Well i have this burning feeling inside
me and i have
odd dreams of theses three gods dresses in red black and white
robes looking
down at me like there judgeing me" replyed padin The school
master thought in
his head i can sence magic in him and i can tell he will be good
with no very

old school
apprenteses I just cant put my finger on wich one though...Ah

I will make note of this day in my jounal and one day if you can
bring your
parents here and i shall dicuss with them about you subscribing
in my school"
said the school master "YES MASTER!!!!!" beamed padin bursting
with joy " I
wont let you down" smilrd padin but things didnt go his way
atleast for a
while. that night padin ran home to find his father galieth who
had just
finished his guard duty around solace.

after telling his father about his conversation with the school
master galieth
frowned and said "absoluty not padin mages are untrustful evil
beings of
ansalon whos goods they worship are evil and plus mages could
never join a
socitety like the knights of solomia they would never accept a
mage and how
whould you make a living"

" dad you forget that the archmage magnis was with the knights
and partener of
the most famed knight there was huma!" protesed padin Galieths
face turned
completely red " were did you here that crap! Thats a rumor, A
LIE! you are
forbiden to go back to that school and you will forget about
being a mage or
haveing magic you will grow up to be a solomic kningt and will
make our family
proud"screamed galieth in rage padins shoulders slumped his arms
fell limp and
he noded his head saddly and he walked to his room, but padin
didnt listen to
his father he didnt forget about magic or the school padin would
go to the
school every dad and converse with the students but one day that
all changed.
Five misserable years later his dad had died, galieth had been
patroling the
outer solace when.

he was ambushed by a 5 hobgoblins in blue armor they had killed
him quickly
and easly his mother lunaira grived for galieth for days and
finally padin
came up to his mother and said.\ "mother dont let me die like him
let me be a
mage let me go my own ways please mother!" pleaded padin "padin
you have
always impressed me even when you asked your father about being a
mage then
disobeying his orders every day by going to that school dont look
at me that
way i always knew..."

"i have decieded you may go to this mage school on one condition
you have to
wear the white robes aslong as you go to this school this you
must promise me
"wisper lunaira "yes mother i will! i promise" and padin went to
school every
day and wore his expesive white robes his mother had purchased
for him and

Laying down the
well used spellbook, Padin Streched luxiously in his
padded felt
chair. After a couple more yawns a crack of his neck padin
rose
to his feet and closed the spellbook for the night. It had
of course been a
long night, a long week. Confident in his skills
but not one to slack in
prepairation, he had been studying like
no other, for tommorow He left for
the tower of high sorcery.
Although he came from a fairly wealthy family,
almost everyone
possessing some magical talent to an agree, he was the only
one
skilled enough to get the nod from the conclave. Tonight would be
the
last night he would sleep in his down filled bed with its
thick wool
blankets. Tommorow its sleeping in tents and living of
the land. although he
prefered the city life padin had done many
a camping trip in the wild, his
family gained its wealth from
animal trapping and selling fine fur clothing.
A skill he had
become quite adept at himself. although he enjoyed the
hunting,
his real skill came in the art of seemtressing. His long
nimble
hands easily sewing in and out perfect articles of
clothing. Infact he had
made every article of clothing draped
over his own body, wore it with pride.
Finally reaching his
bedchamber padin flopped down into his bed and
instantly feel
into deep dream filled sleep.
