[QUOTE="hafrogman, post: 3172384, member: 8858"] Edvik the Bastard, Human Fighter Two centuries ago, as the Wizard Wars raged fully, the Kingdom of Ghenna fought at the forefront, leading the human forces in the seemingly endless battles. Their general was a mighty warrior and a fearless leader, who fought side by side with his men as they finally defeated their foes. He weilded 'the sword that could not be broken', and with it he cut out the heart of the enemy, securing victory and an end to the war. In the early days of peace following the end of the war, General Edvik was heralded as the kingdom's greatest hero. Rewards and accolades were heaped upon him, and the common born soldier's son was raised to dizzying heights, second only to the king. Lord of the Three Waters In the intervening years, his line has continued. Father to son, the legacy was passed along. But there were no more wars to fight. The sword that could not be broken hung unused on the wall of the lord's bedchamber. The line grew weak as the blood was thinned. No longer did war serve to weed out the least among us. The last Lord of the Three Waters was a good enough man, but weak willed. However, his son, the new lord, is as fat and useless as he is spineless. I am not that son. Shortly before the current lord was born, his father had an affair with a lowly scullery maid. His new wife discovered the secret and forced the maid to leave the keep. However, when she left, she did not go empty handed. The sword that could not be broken hangs no more upon that keep's wall. I believe they placed a replica there to hide their shame, but it matters not to me. A few short months later, the maid gave birth to her son. Named after my ancenstor, I am Edvik, bastard of that noble lineage. We lived a much harsher life than my half-brother. But it has taught me to be strong, while his luxury has made him pathetic. I need no title, the sword that hangs at my side is the true legacy of my blood. It may be wrapped to hide its history, but I know the truth. And I know that I will be the one to return the sword to its proper use. [/QUOTE]
