Aerandir - acranbury/zemia-campaign GitHub Wiki

Hailing from a monastery dedicated to Anya located in the elven city of Cormanthyr on the Isle of Mist, Aerandir was not actually a fully fledged monk when the city was attacked by monsters. He was simply a devout follower of Anya hoping to join the monastery after turning away from a life of wealth accumulated through the sale of medicines and potions. A life that left him spiritually unfulfilled.

Just mere months before the city's destruction Aerandir was finally assigned to a master. Quelenna was an elf female who was known for her wit and cunningness, but Aerandir was not happy to be assigned to her in particular. He had heard that she was strict and harsh in her training methods. Aerandir had only just been taught the most basic forms and movements of martial arts that all higher forms are built upon when the city was attacked.

In the ensuing chaos of the monster attack on the city, Aerandir grabbed what knowledge scrolls he could from his room and the now upended library before rushing out into the city to find his master and help her defend their home. In a brave, but fool-hardy charge against a massive creature, Aerandir was clubbed unconscious from one massive blow to the head and knocked out of the treetop paths to the forest floor below, buried beneath brush and twigs.

When he awoke, in a muddy pile of branches, the world around him was quiet and the smell of ash hung in the air. Where was he? Why did his head hurt?

Whether from the blow to the head or the trauma of losing his home, Aerandir's memory remained patchy at best.
