    This is the background story for my first char on this server; Tiam Sapple. English is not my motherlanguage so please be nice :oops: :

    It was not five days since Tiams 12th birthday. He looked outside his window and saw a night without stars. The only thing he actually could see was his own face reflected in the window. He looked much like his mother. The light red hair and the freckles. They even both had glasses. Everyone had always told him that he had his mother’s eyes – light blue like the sky a midsummer day without clouds. Tiam turned his head away from the window and looked at the small but fine dagger his mother gave him as a birthday present. It had been part of a reward from one of her many adventures, but now it was in his little belt. Suddenly Tiams ears caught the sound of a horse coming towards his house. He heard his farther open the door. Tiam jumped off the small chair he had been sitting on and slowly he sneaked to the door of his room. From here he could hear his fathers voice and the voice of the cleric of Chauntea that always followed Tiams mother. They where companions and had fought together for many years. Tiams farther started to cry and Tiam knew in his hart that he should never again see his mother.
    Bruun was the name of the companion and friend of Tiams mother. Bruun and Tiams mother had taken a job that should be quite easy. They where to investigate a wizards tower that the mayor of a town had grown suspicious to. In the lower levels of the tower they had only encountered traps, but large numbers of traps and all of them where very dangerous. Luckily for the both of them Tiams mother was an expert in dealing with traps. She found and disarmed all of them – even the magical kind witch is known for their complexity. When they reached the top of the tower however they encountered huge numbers of walking dead. Something even Bruun never had seen before. Nevertheless the faith of Bruun saved them. The Earthmother stroke down the living dead and the two companions continued.
    After more encounters with the undead that had grown more and more resistance to the holy prayers to the Grain Goddess they finally reached the top level of the tower. They found the mage of the tower. He himself had started to become a walking dead. He had a rather large wound in his belly and in his nearly visible skull. His eyes where gloving red and his cloths was nothing but rags. In he cold room where Tiams mother and Bruun found him there was large touches standing in each corner. On the floor there where strange markings – ancient dark scripting. Blood was coming down the walls and the floor was socked with it. Here and there lay corpses – some where children. Tiams mother was numbed with fear. She panicked and didn’t know what she should do. Once again Bruun started to pray to his goddess for the power to strike down this great evil. As Bruun started his prayers the dead mage turned towards him and have him a grim grin. Then the mage turn towards Tiams mother and pointed his finger at her. It mumbled something Bruun couldn’t understand and suddenly it looked like a red force started to build up around the undead mage. The mage focused all the red energy and a ray coming from his finger struck Tiams mother in the hart. She screamed and fell to the floor – dead.
    Seeing that his friend had died Bruun panicked and ran as fast as he could never to return to the haunted wizard tower.
    The death of his wife nearly destroyed Tiams father. He was a well know trader and had specilized in rare and exotic goods for adventures. Tiams father and mother had met a spring day when Tiams mother entered Tiams fathers shop in order to buy a magical shortsword. Not long after Tiams mother gave birth to Tiam.
    Tiams father started to drink trying to numb the grief. But the grief only got bigger and the trading went very bad after Tiams mothers death. Today Tiams father has a huge dept and he lives somewhere near Jiyyd. Tiam have set out to become a grand trader like his father use to be and to pay back the dept of his father. Even today he hasn’t forgot about his mothers killer and will always be looking for the undead mage that so rapidly took his mothers life. His journey has taken him to the small town of Norvick. Here he hopes to find what he seeks…
