Appearance
Niemenel wears a black leather eveningsuit, rings on his fingers, and a buckler straped along his left arm. He has numerous daggers strapped to his person, and gives the impression that there are several more out of sight. On his right hip hangs a sword which seems to smoke within its sheath.
He travels with an exquisitly detailed backpack slung on his back, with various pouches and sacks hanging from it.
Those with keen eyes may notice smears and dribbles of paint on his shoes and hands... but only if he hasn't had time to clean them.
Physically, Niemenel is in perfect peak condition. He appears hearty, even for an elf, and looks as if he could dodge an arrow if his life depended on it. His main aspect, as any good bard, is his personality and stunning good looks.
Background
- Hella-long ago
A child was found in the woods outside the Teutan village of Unqualira, durring a great rain storm. He was brought back and given the name Selda en Nienale Menel, or 'Child of the Weeping Sky'. He lived and grew in the village, makeityourring diamond rings becoming the community child. Each family took their turn housing and teaching him things from agriculture to architecture. In that time he grew fond of the mayor's daughter, Enyalie, and she fond of him. Eventually he was taken to the Magi of the Hill and tought the art of Wizardry. Finding it overly ritualistic, he forsake it for the more intuitive magics of sorcery. He was banished from the village for following this 'Perversion of the Art'.
Niemenel wandered through the forrests of the world for a time before he crossed paths with a man by the name of Irvine and his adventuring friends. Niemenel joined them, but the world was begining to turn evil. Before long a great shadow fell over the city of Ciriath and spread toward Niemenel's beloved hometown. The Dark Acolyte, as the Wizard was known, had created a race of large bear-like beasts who were under his controll through the use of two mystic orbs.
After destroying the orbs, Irvine and his band set out to find the Dark Acolyte. However, it was not to be. The Acolyte set a Gorgon upon them and turned them all to stone.
