BACKGROUND
STILL (kind of) IN DEVELOPMENT
Life in the village:
Born in a small, idyllic village as a son of a farmer and hunter family, he was sentenced to a quiet life. Although Xeren excepted his fate, deep inside his own feelings he knew, that was not what he wanted. He wanted a life of adventure, a life of glory and success by reaching his dreams that have not manifested yet. So when one day a travelling merchant decided to actually visit his small unnoticeable village, he and his brother took the initiative of travelling the world by asking the merchant to take him with them. His brother was accepted and went on being a trainee caravan guardsman for the caravan, while Xeren was deemed too young to be sent of into the vast world.
He was of course disappointed, but got a gift from the old man. It was a book. Xeren didn't understand its purpose in the beginning, but quickly realized that it wasn't a normal book. He secretly studied unrelentlessly even after his parents told him that he had better things to do.
He began to understand what reading was and uncovered the secrets of the book. It was a book that should teach a mage how to manifest the power of magic and to use simple pyromancy spells.
His parents didn't like what way he was taking and decided to burn the book, as they feared that he would not be able to control his new-found power and viewed it as a threat.
But that small intervention didn't stop Xeren of continuing to explore the enormous potential of magic. Even when it only was very small progress.
One fateful day, years after he was given the tome of magic and his borther took his leave of his family, it would show that his knowledge of magic would serve him well. His village was attacked by mountain bandits that wrecked havoc upon the residents and fields. His parents were slaughtered, and he only survived because he was able to scare off small groups of bandits that threatened him. Eventually they charged him and there was little he could do. Just before the strike would hit his skull to end his life, he was rescued by the local garrison from a small city nearby. The relief force was, to his surprise, composed mostly only of sorcerers.
They took him with them when they discovered that his parents were murdered in the incident. The rest of his youth, Xeren travelled, worked and learned from these order of spell casters.
Travelling on his own and joining "Meridian":
When reaching early adulthood, Xeren bade farewell to the people that cared for him after he became an orphan and set out to discover the world. He set out to discover the world of Syndesia, which was on his arrival practically uncolonized and devoid of any bigger civilization. After exploring just a small part of this vast continent, Xeren came across a group of ambitious people, that sought to found a kingdom on these lands and came to conclusion, that he was going to join them.
He came into contact with a man called "Alexian Cale", the "Hand of the Crown" and second-in-command of the Meridian Kingdom. Xeren was approved to join the Kingdom as one of the early non-founding members.
