Background:
Thaimon looks about at the decaying remains of his life and wonders where to go next.
Everything had seemed so promising and normal. He came from a good family. His father, Thaylin, was a renowned diviner, politician and historian, respected for the depth of his knowledge and wisdom. His mother, a songstress featured at every festival and gathering. His uncle was a captain of the Elite Protectors. His own magical abilities manifested themselves at a young age, and he had joined the Protectors, hoping to follow his uncle's footsteps.
Then everything went wrong.
First, his mother died of a mysterious illness, an evil disease that none of the City's priests could identify or cure. Then his father was arrested and convicted of conspiracy and practicing dark magic. His punishment: exile from the city. He disappeared into the western wilderness. His uncle, Estraish, despite having been the one who turned Thaylin into the authorities, became implicated in the plot as well. Thaimon helped his uncle into hiding, to avoid prosecution from the authorities.
But despite his own earnestness, the stigma to his family could not be washed away. Once popular among his peers and the elders, Thaimon found himself shunned by society. He maintained his old residence in the city, but with the servants having abandoned their positions, it was beginning to fall into disrepair. Even the Protectors no longer trusted him, and dismissed him from service.
He maintained contact with his Uncle, who continued his training as much as was possible. Thaimon wanted nothing more than to uphold the ideals and traditions of their palatial city. But he found that his faith in everything he held dear had been hopelessly shaken, and he wondered what possible good he could ever do.
Thaimon still practiced swordplay and sorcery, perhaps out of habit. He was trained as a sentinel, as a messenger, as a spy. The Elite Protectors fulfilled all these roles and more. They acted as body guards for the most important elders, they helped maintain the peace inside the city, they escorted dignitaries and important caravans to neighboring lands. But his training was hopelessly incomplete, and his Uncle could only act as a tutor and mentor.
He now spends most of his days exploring the city, learning it's secrets, uncovering its mysteries. And he finds himself more and more often wandering the outskirts of Avordel, wondering if perhaps his destiny might only be fulfilled somewhere on the outside.
. She's quite nasty in a fight for her level...
