The Heart

Beginnings

Plot Arc: Foundations

 

Mysteries

Alric has spent much of his life wondering what happened to his parents, puzzling the mystery of his only heirloom – the ring around his neck. He thought all lost as he had never found anything, instead settling into a petty life of odd crime, survival and grimy bottom-rung activities. No real purpose or aspirations he drifted and was set to live an uneventful and likely short life.

A chance meeting with Tazrae, a Sykan inn owner, at the Outpost drove a wedge into his wagon path rut and looks set to drive him onto another path altogether.

Where this path leads only Lhex can know…

Origins

Alongside Tazrae Alric found himself taking a tea concoction to share a memory journey to discover his past. Finding that he was Nymkarta, a mage djedline of old royalty, shocked him to his core.

A Dreamwalker was sought who helped reveal the fate of his parents - a tragic and evil one, his father forced to watch as his mother was used as a brood mare by a Florentin Arcadius, eventually breaking her and destroying her ability to procreate. Now free of Arcadius, Alric wishes desperately to reunite with them but dares not.

Possibly hunted by the Arcadius, his father having secreted him away before their eventual capture. his only friend shown to be the grand daughter of the monster himself, it was too much for Alric to process and it pushed himelf beynd the edge. Tazrae offered him sanctuary in Syka.

Alric was not sure what he should do...
