Mok was a half-blood Myrian born into the Jagged Blade Clan. Growing up, Mok did not know who his father was, but simply that he was a human. Mok’s mother ignored any questions concerning her husband and never talked about him with Mok. Even at a young age Mok understood the disgrace that his immediately family was in. He realized quickly that his mother was the subject of gossip and that some Talobains looked down upon her. As a child Mok was tortured and bullied by the other children. Being of impure blood, Mok did not have the natural strength and dexterity of a full blooded Myrian. This made it difficult for Mok to keep up with the other children, as he was always struggling to physically perform on the same level as the other kids. Often enough, Mok needed to prove himself not only to his instructors but he needed to prove himself additionally to be accepted by the other children.
Living in the harsh environment of Faylndar and its mighty Myrians was difficult already, but Mok needed to put extra effort to be not only be competent with his peer’s skills, but also socially. Not having the parental support that he needed, Mok looked up to the men in the Jagged Blade Clan. Mok worked very hard to embody the spirit of his elders and this gave him the motivation to train his body and mind to withstand the trials of being a Myrian warrior. Mok was determined not to let his human half hamper his acceptance as a warrior in the clan. Mok worked twice as hard as the other kids, but was only barely able to keep up with his mates. Through his adolescent years Mok choose to learn the path of the Jagged Blade style of martial arts. Mok felt that this style of fighting was perfect for him because the nature of the art required intense training and being in top physical fitness. In order to survive, Mok needed to grow up quickly and his childhood experiences mostly consist of negative thoughts and anger.
When Mok finally reached the Coming of Age, he felt that he was ready to conquer the challenge. He had been training and striving for this moment his whole life. Now, Mok was ready to prove to everyone that he too could be a fierce Myrian warrior despite his tainted blood.
A couple of days after the challenge, Mok was stabbed in the abdomen by a rival group of men who believed he shouldn't have finished the challenge. Wounded, Mok dragged himself to his mother’s house looking for help. When the boy reached his mother, she just looked away in disgust and told him to leave and never come back. Mok began to softly weep. Hiding his pain, Mok wiped his eyes and prepared to leave Taloba for good.
With tremendous luck and courage, Mok was able to navigate through the jungle and make his way out Faylndar. Even with his wound, he was able to continue because of the mental toughness that he had built throughout those years. Along the way Mok meet a Fang that that helped him to escape the jungle safely and unseen through the Northern Pass. Once out of Faylndar, Mok traveled through Kalea and arrived in Alvadas. There he spends 3 years working as a laborer and he also did odd mercenary jobs on his free time. During his stay in Alvadas, Mok was plagued by terrible dreams and vivid visions. Mok could not understand them, but he knew he needed to find whoever was trying to tell him something. Once he was ready, Mok packed up and took a ship to Sylira. He stayed in the fortress city Sylria for several days then began to head toward Sunberth.
Mok is unsure why he picked to travel to Sunberth but something about it was drawing him in. Maybe this had to do with his visions. Mok finally reached the city at the beginning of the summer 511. |
