[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 1770106, member: 14316"] Vishan "Shan" Xandrythar pulled his gray cloak tighter about him as he walked through the wet dusk. Rufus, the gray wolf-hound, walked by his side, seemingly oblivious to the drizzle. A few days ago Shan had struck up a conversation with a pretty female merchant from a passing caravan heading to Cauldron. The merchant told him some rumors about the place. One of the rumors involved his famous wizard grandfather, whose name Shan bore. It seems the great wizard spent some time in the city of Cauldron in the year before his disappearance, setting up an instant magical tower there. He stayed for quite a while, for reasons unknown. The strange lights and sounds from his tower created all sorts of rumors. It's not often that a wizard of Shan's grandfather's repute sets up shop in a distant city. Why was he there? And why did he disappear again so suddenly? Shan did not let the pretty merchant know that he was Vishan Xandrythar, grandson of the great wizard of the same name. Sharing his grandfather's name was difficult. Even though he thought it might impress the girl, Shan found it hard to live up to people's expectations of him. So he travelled as simply Shan, The Gray Trader, seeking to learn of the world. His curiousity piqued by the stories of his grandfather in Cauldron, and by the merchant's sweet smile, Shan joined up with the caravan. He didn't get anywhere with the flirty female, who failed to mention that she was engaged to be married to one of the other merchants, but he did, at least, make it to Cauldron safely. He spent the day in a tavern, resting from his long journey and talking to the local city folk, learning about the city. Posing as a trader, he had a plan. He would seek out a magic shop, one that bought and sold goods from adventurers, one that his grandfather might have done business with. Perhaps he could get a job there as a scribe or salesman. But the people at the tavern didn't know of a magic shop. He was talking to the wrong crowd. Shan had purchased a room for the night, but riding in the caravan wagons all day had made him a bit stiff. With Rufus by his side, he went out to walk and stretch his legs, and explore the city a bit before it got too dark. Hearing the cry for help, he moved towards the sounds. [/QUOTE]
