Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dracomeander" data-source="post: 2609748" data-attributes="member: 20009">It took a little longer to get to but here is the further fleshed out concept.Background for Martel FlameweaverMartel was a young war orphan brought to Flamekeep by a Templar whose injuries had forced him to leave the battlefield to those younger than himself. Martel settled into the dormitories where the church was caring for other orphans, but was so fascinated by the knights of the church that the only time he wasn’t underfoot in the knights’ training areas was when he was required to be with the church tutors learning the languages and doctrines of the church.In order to keep young Martel from getting hurt and to get him out of the way so the knights could concentrate on their own training, Martel was introduced to the smiths and taught how to care for and make the accoutrements of the knights. He was thrilled to be able to assist the knights he idolized, but he never let go of his dream to actually become a knight himself.The requirements of the Last War provided Martel with his wish as all who showed aptitude were allowed to begin training in the arts of war. He was quick to learn and soon achieved the skills and insight to become a Paladin of the Silver Flame. His bright, shiny idealism was quickly shattered on the battlefields of the Last War as Martel discovered the monsters that had shattered his childhood weren’t really monsters at all, but just men fighting for their country as he was fighting for his. His experiences in the Last War have tempered Martel's zeal. He still is devoted to the Silver Flame, but now he doesn’t just blindly jump after the enemies his superiors point him toward. He has listened to the words of the new Keeper of the Flame and learned to temper his zeal with the toleration he believes the Keeper is trying to promote. He is also learning to look into the motives of both his superiors and the enemies he is sent against.Mechanics: Martel is looking at the path of a mounted knight as a Human Paladin 5 / Exorcist of the Silver Flame 2.</blockquote>
