Character name: Nars WandererWhat is public knowledge and/or obvious:
This man has been seen traveling the roads between Norwick and Jiyyd. Generally clad in black, with a face shadowed by a hood, those weak of heart might run on sight. His red eyes calculate every step, note every object, record every action. He seems to be perpetually in search of someone or soemthing. Also, he is usually followed by a small, strange eyeball-like creature.
What is not yet common knowledge:
This enigma of a man, has few friends and thus few know his name. He is named Zamorac. Since his early childhood he Zamorac has been fascinated by knowledge and learning. Working as an archivist for a local mage in his hometown he had many hours and opportunities to spend learning the mage's trade. As he began to grasp the basics of magic (cantrips), his employer became his teacher, and employee became apprentice. From his teacher he learned more and more, yet his thirst for knowledge was never slated. His teacher even taught him the difficult but frequently rewarding Draconic language, which Zamorac quickly learned.
However, as his teacher ran out of things to teach young Zamorac, Zamorac began to seek knowledge else where. He began traveling far and wide, relying on his arcane abilities. He visited the temple of Oghma, dedicated to the preservation of all that is known and the knowledge of the ages. There he became engrossed in the ancient language of the Netherese, and became fluent.
Exhausting even the archives of the surface world, Zamorac traveled to the feared Underdark. There he found an abandoned and lost eyeball. He befriended the creature and in exchange, it taught Zamorac the common language of the Underdark, Undercommon. With the language of the Underdark at his disposal, he traversed the dark world learning all he could. After departing from the Underdark, he sailed to Narfell. He sought out the sanctuary of Spellweaver's Keep.
So far, he is relatively new to the area. Exploration is at the top of his list of things to do. Furthermore, he seeks to add the archives of Spellweaver to his own.
The one remaining question surrounds his motives for his search. Why does this mysterious character seek all the knowledge the world can give and more? Is it for good or evil?
