Subject     Background of Salas Part I

Some say that the plains of dust are tough,some say that Kharolis
mountains
are tough and These places are paradise compared to cold beauty
and death of
the Icereach


This is why mages and clerics with inside power are very
important,that is why
when Salas was born he was tested, like all the other babies,by a
cleric of
Solinari to see if there was power within him.The cleric
searched,and found
power.


In the Icereach you must learn how to survive if you intend to be
alive.This
is why the training of children begans after they come to age of
5.It was then
when Salas began his training with hunting and with the lead of
the only mage
of the village,a white robed old man,his studies of magic. He was
a good
student and quickly learned some minor spells to protect himself
and others
along with cantrips and that sort of stuff.But the spells that
intrested him
most were not those protective.Those were the spells to cause
harm and pain on
others,the spells he was told not to learn before his white robed
master would
give him permission to do so.Years passed and Salas started also
his training
with weapons.And his studies with magic went on.Soon he was more
powerfull
than his old weak master,and it was time that Salas decided
because his master
couldn't teach him anything he would need to find a new
master.When he once
asked his master if there was someone more powerfull near their
village that
could teach him his master answered :"There is one but he is one
of the Black
Robes and an evil man.We will not let you study with lead of that
man". Salas
tried to ask the other villagers where he mind find this man,but
obviosly his
master had told them about the situation and they didn't answer
his
questions.Then one late afternoon Salas walked to the hut of his
master and
captured him with the magic he had learned from spellbooks in the
library of
his village. Salas questioned him and tortured him until he told
him where he
could find this black robed person.Then salas killed him and
escaped from the
village to find himself a master that could teach him more than
the basics of
the magic.
This happpened when he was at the age of 13.

Subject     Salas Baground part II

I took Salas almost a month to find the lonely tower that seemed
to be made of
pure ice,where the black robed mage was rumored to live.He had
faced many
strange and dangerous things on his journey ,but now he was here
because he
wanted to learn because of magic.


When Salas entered the tower and asked the black robe to teach
him the black
robe was first about to just kill him from intruding his
fortress.But he
sensed the power of magic inside this young kid and decided to
test him.Salas
passed the tests of the black robe,but they were not easy and
left their marks
on him.At last the black robe accepted him as his apprentice and
teached him
about the secrets of black moon and dark magic.And Salas turned
from the light
and prayed to the Dark Moon and Nuitari answered.It was then when
Salas
dedicated his whole body and soul to magic and to Nuitari. It
might been that
Nuitari saw the insight power in  this kid or then he had other
reasons,but he
gifted him with a powerfull magic staff.But he never told
anything to the kid
about abilities of this staff and Salas spent hours and hours
tryng to figure
out all it's abilities.And to this date he hasn't learned all the
secrets of
this staff.But also his master noticed this gift from Nuitari and
he wasn't
pleased.But he was also curious and kept teaching the boy.And
Salas powers
grew. It was when Salas was at age of sixteen his master began to
fear his
growing power and thought he had made a mistake accepting this
boy as an
apprentice.And he decided that he must kill Salas.But Nuitari saw
this too and
warned Salas.And in the night when his master sneaked in his room
he was
ready. Their magical fight was tough and bitter,but in the end
Salas came up
on the top, and when he stroke his dagger to his masters heart he
smiled the
smile of a winner.But the spells of his master had horribly
damaged his face
and when he realized that Salas cried because his face had been
handsome,but
he reminded himself that he had done this because of magic.And he
took control
of his master's tower and his small thanoi forces.And there he
studied all he
could from spellbooks the tower contained.But it was not enough
not nearly
enough and he decided he must travel to Ansalon and to the Tower
of Wayreth to
learn more,but before he left he sealed the tower with his spells
that it
would be his if he would like to come back.
 
 And then he leaft to search for power.
