The History of Kalerin Krymar
Born of a quiet encampment, known to many as Shayavil, the fated birth of Kalerin Krymar was soon expected. Son of the infamed Aldera, daughter of Karmak and Eridon, son of Lakenan, the birth of a soon to be Scribe of the Heavens was at hand. During his youth, Kalerin, was seldom exposed to the influence of those outside of his encampment. Strangers were rarely seen, and not at all welcomed in Hamlet. The elders of their village found it very fitting to pass on the knowledge held by the great elves of past, and due to such, it was quite common for elders to pass on their knowledge of spellcraft and lore to their young. However, Kalerin's mother Aldera was nothing particularly special when it came to magery but competent in the arts she was. His father on the other hand, found himself to be quite competent in various arts and used his skills in the crafts of almost all things. Because of this lack of immense mastery in their arts, very little of these lores and spellcraft has been taught to Kalerin. Undoubtedly, this group of elves bared ties to the elves of Greginsham, but due to the Great War that had raged on for the many centuries past and centuries to come, they found it more suiting to travel far off to a land peaceful and sanctified from the wicked Orcish hoardes. During his youth, Kalerin was brought under the tutelage of a magus who went by the name Imalka. Imalka instructed our young Kalerin in the basics of spell craft as well as history, lore, and some knowledge of Arcana. However, as intrigued as he was with Imalka's teachings, he found the time spent with his grandfather, Karmak, far more thrilling. Karmak, grandfather to Kalerin, had an insatiable lust for travel. He yearned to see far more of what Thera had to offer, and soon found himself bewildered before a realm of humans and many other races. Soon after, he was brought into the guild of paladins, and found a dislike for sword play and thus he hung up his sword and returned home to raise a family. Together, Kalerin and Karmak spent nights together, where Kalerin played the role of listener and his father the fable teller. As each night passed, Kalerin's interest in the world outside of his peaceful village of Shayavil grew, and with the passing of each night, his curiosity began to grow on him. As Kalerin grew, he found himself becoming quite passionate over dusty tomes and musty libraries. He grew into a very potent scholar and with such a decision had to be made. Slowly his curiosity began to overwhelm his adventurer's spirit, and a thirst for the world grew within. He longed to trace the paths his grandfather took, and become a noble and virtuous warrior of light, but on the other hand he had the desire to become a great historian, and thus he seeked out both. After long, tedious discussion with his family, it was later decided that it was best for Kalerin to travel. He traveled south in search of his dreams and goals and found himself easily recruited into the guild of paladins, while on the other hand he began making discussions with the great Lady of Heralds, Lydana. One fated morn, after many months of talk with her, he found himself in her cottage and inducted as a member of the Conservatory upon his twentieth rank. During his quest to gain to his pinnacle, Kalerin fell deeply in love with a soon to be Lady of Valour who went by the name of Candra Aldergaard. It took no time before Kalerin was deeply in love with her, and eventually told her of his feelings. Unfortunately, Candra was involved in one of the most fearsome and grueling wars Thera had ever seen, against the Fell. Forced to take a stand of neutrality in this fight, Kalerin could only stand and watch as Candra battled valiantly to her own death. Before her final battle, and before Kalerin could propose to this fair maiden, Candra bestowed Kalerin with a chalice which had a "C" engraved into it. And valorously she road off and never again was she heard of. There after, Kalerin stood with the Heralds with great passion, loyalty and desire and became one of the greatest High Heralds the Conservatory had to offer. The Fell The coming of the Fell signaled a turning point in Thera's history. The cabals save the Mystics were united against a common foe. Thus events stood.. Thera was on the brink of war rivaling those of days past. Several of the Fell achieved the pinnacle of their guilds, and the true fighting began. The Knights rushed into combat, and after heavy losses on both sides, the battle seemed to be at an impasse. Before long, Candra, Stinosat and Metronas of the Knights had fallen in the great battles that followed. Lazrin of the Fell emerged as the leader of his people, a self-styled general and the leader of a major faction. Along with his cronies, Lazrin slew many of the Knights and led several to despair. The armies of the Fell seemed unstoppable as they ravaged the land. And then, the tide of battle turned suddenly and without warning as the Knights of Valour found themselves again the victors. Lazrin, the sole galvanizing force for the Fell himself was vanquished, and with him the rest of his army crumbled. And yet, at the same time, a band of Therans sought to aid the invaders and became known as the traitors along with their Mystic allies. These traitors' protection from the Law was as swiftly stripped as was that of the Fell and the Mystics. Common Therans began to band together to fight the collaborators many of whom were destroyed altogether. Few Fell remained having been discouraged by the failure of the first wave of the invasion. Thus events stand, and it seems there is a lull in the War. The Knights of Valour being the prime victors of the first series of battles build up strength and proclaim themselves the defenders of Thera. Once more, Thera waits and watches to see what the abyssal demons have in store. On Hobbits Well met, Citizens of Therans. The following is my researches base on Halflings, or hobbits. The hobbits, are one of most fascinating creatures to be studied upon. Their character may appear soft and lazy, and generalized to hoard gold and riches, however they can steel themselves, and be a tough foe to be reckon with. For hobbits are immune all of types of fear, they are quick on their arms and feets, and gods had bestowed them amazingly tough resistance against magical attacks. To note off, hobbits are akin to Human in many ways, except that they are much shorter, like about three and a half inch high (imagine a kid). Hobbits usually have hair with curly locks and its cluttered around the whole lump of the head. Hobbits also have hair grown around whole leg and feet, enable to walk the realms without the aid of shoes. Hobbits are peaceful citizens and most of the hobbits reside in their own community, Shire. Hobbits are not known to enjoy adventures, or to seek either power or knowledge. In fact, they prefer the small comforts of their home, to other exciting adventure in the realms. On top of that, they are quick in response, observant and adapt changes quickly, though they might not match in strength to giants. Hence, most Hobbits resort to a class they are familiar and grown a liking with: the arts of thieving. To summarize these halflings, or hobbits up: |
