[QUOTE="Ransom, post: 1520703, member: 14669"] Mordecai grew up in Elturel, the son of servants in a nobles keep. As he grew he was trained as a page and later as a swordsman. He was also befriended by a kindly alchemist who taught him the secrets of the elements. As he grew he began to realize he wasn't necessarily the same as other children, at night if he became scared of the dark the room would light up as if [i]Daylight[/i] itself had come! He'd never felt the cold of the winters as intensely as the other children though he could never figure out why. Always friendly and kind, Mordecai became quite popular, especially among the girls who were attracted to his golden eyes and intense stare. Time passed and Mordecai found himself in Helm's temple every night. Not always praying or meditating, he just felt more at home there than anyone else. His parents told him a tale about one of his ancestor's that had borne the child of a powerful man claiming to be half-angel! Though no proof was ever found and no one could find of which angel sired this man, his child and the child's children all special. At this Mordecai was relieved, he thought that there were worse things than being a Child of the Heavens. Mordecai grew and with him his ability with a sword and his strength of faith, it wasn't long before his name was whispered up the ranks to High Rider Lord Dhelt himself. Mordecai was soon pledging his allegience to Helm as a champion of The Vigilant One. His devotion was not unnoticed by Helm himself and soon Mordecai found himself recieving dreams from the Watcher himself! Always hazy and rarely sensible the dreams always held portents of the future. In the last month Mordecai has been having the same recurring dream, though he would call it a nightmare. Each night it has grown in length and direness. A house on a river, swallowed into a pit of evil. Wraiths, evil spirits and malevolent artifacts escaping from the pit, particularly a skull that laughs as it passes by. Armed men in the streets marching against, no not against, WITH devils! A pillar of oily hell-fire spouting damnation and corruption into the city However as of late he has seen a shadowy group in each dream opposing the evil, always in the background holding a candle. Last night the group travelled to the evil pit and in a flash of blinding green, the candle nearly snuffed out. Mordecai awoke in a cold sweat and knew his time for action had come, suited in his full plate which he calls "Helm's Trust", his shield "Helm's Gaze" and his ancestral blade "Fienddealer" (though its is not the blade it once was, the magic in it has grown tired and lies dormant.) He mounted Galiren just as rumors of Devils imposing marshal law in Scornubel ran through the streets. [/QUOTE]
