He wasn't the baby anymore, and the other three born before him were accomplishing things years before him, so by the time he did the same thing it was just another, or not like when so and so first did that. As to escape the world around him young Davonshaw turned to the world of books, and from the time he could read he wasn't far from one. It was the discovery of the unknown that kept the young scholar coming back for more, he found knowing more than his older brothers or learning something before they did very satisfying. The Davonshaw family lived and traveled in the Great Carnival of Urnst, and Rem was taught a variety of instruments to be used in the act while his parents and some of his older siblings preformed daring high-wire and tumbling acts. Even his younger sister played instruments only a short time before she too went "on stage" leaving the young musician alone to play all the parts. On Freedays he would make his way to the nearest sage/library to barter for a new book, no matter the title.Then his mother became severely sick and instead of taking to bed she continued on with the show. She died from a terrible fall, as Rem watched in horror. The family never recovered from the accident and his father sent Davonshaw off to live with his uncle a year later. At first Rem thought this was punishment for not wishing to take up the family trade. But one look at the library of the old wizard and the soon to be physician whispered a prayer of thank you to his father. Diving into the unending knowledge was like a dream come true, but what to use it for, was always in the back of Rem Davonshaw's mind. An ancient tome written in the language of angels held the answer. Davonshaw would learn all he could to heal the sick and tend those who couldn't afford the healing of the clergy. During his self-styled hermitage into the seeking of this knowledge he met the deep gnome, Zath'ras. His uncle's strange servant was another great fountain of knowledge and wisdom, and when the two of them put their heads together it seemed there was no problem they couldn't overcome. When Rem found out the gnome was learning from his uncle, he to sought to become an apprentice. It took many months before he figured out the odd teaching methods of his eccentric uncle, but Davonshaw approved, it was like the self teachings from a book. You either learned from your experience or you didn't. And if you didn't you went back over the information and started anew.After he had exhausted all he could learn of anatomy, illness, and healing form his uncle, the young doctor was ready to venture out and put what he learned to the test. Not knowing where to start it was his uncle who again offered an excellent suggestion. He needed Zath'ras to go to Oakhurst to retrieve a bit of lore for a new spell, and the deep gnome could use a companion/guide on the journey.Setting out it wasn't long before both fledgling adventures were set upon and captured by goblins.[/sblock]</blockquote>
