    The history of House Hartcliff is a long and rich one. They were a house originally from
    the kindom of Cormyr many years ago. Yet, because of several polictical views and a perhaps a
    change in the rulership in the kingdom of Cormyr (genologists still debate this fact) they moved to
    the kingdom of Halruaa, or better known as the shinning south, some 200 years ago where they could perhaps live more comfortable life.

    In all of these years House Hartcliff was know for one thing in both Cormyr and Halruaa.
    The gift ran through the blood of all of them. Many were born as sorcerers, but those who
    weren't became some of the finest wizards in the land. They earned a reputation within many
    wizards guilds.

    Egan is the 8th generation Hartcliff to live in the city of . His house, while a small
    one has always had a fair reputation in the city of Halarahh and few rivals. He like his 3 brothers before him
    studieded the gift at the University of Magic and Wizardy in Halarahh. His sister was the only one
    born with the gift and therefor didn't require as much of a formal education. But, still claimed to
    have studieded there for the sake of the family reputation.

    Egan was a promising student even though his memory sometimes failed him when it
    came to memorizing the exact words to a particular spell. However, the young wizard discovered
    a unique way to conquer his weakness and turn it into a new advantage. He found a way to create
    minor magical items which would not tax him and in turn use those to focus the fit through. Of
    course just like any other spell this was taxing on his person, but still it made him happy none of
    the less and impressed some of his proffesors.

    2 years after Egan had graduated from the University he came home to his familys manor
    to find a truly ghastly sight. His father was hanging from the entry way of the manor with a large
    sword stabbed through his head. The young scholar soon lost his stomach ran to the courtyard.
    He found similar horrors in the court yard. His brothers, servants, and even sister who he was so
    fond of had all been slain in grotesque ways.

    Being scared out of his mind the young nobleman collected what few things he could,
    grabbed a sack full of money from the family safe, which oddly enough was still full, and left his
    home of 20 years. Whatever house had done this to his family would surely come looking for him
    next was his only thought. He never did notice that the blade was obviously of elvish make in his
    fathers skull…

    Apperance: Egan is in his early 20s. He is about of average height and a fairly healthy weight.
    He has dark brown hair and a goa-tee with green eyes. He is an attractive young man and had the
    eye of several young noblewomen before fleeing from Halruaa. He wears normal clothing underneath
    a blue hooded cloak with a large sack on his belt where all of his spell focuses are. The Hartcliff
    crest which he does have on one last suit of clothing he took with him is a ring on a brown banner
    with white light illuminating from it.

    Personality: Egan is a kind and friendly person, but right now his is very scared for his life and
    believes the same fate might befall him if anyone finds out his true identity. He is very knowledge
    about several different subjects and not afraid to share his knowledge with others at all. He isn't
    the bravest soul on the earth either, but will die for someone he calls friend if that is what matters
    come too.
