Izen



Origins
Izen Tiredain the Half-Elven grew up the son of a politician, raised within the halls of famed Galadhor, a city of men and elves. Having been brought up in the comfort of Galadhor's sanctuary, the trepidations of strife and war existed only as legend and anicdote. From a young age, Izen would be seen in company of his father, and consequently the artists, philosophers, musicians and politicians of the city. It is no wonder the young half elf developed a knack for talking. This talent of tongue proved to be an especially useful tool within the politicaly inclined atmosphere of Galadhor.

In lue of sharp blades, Izen sculpted a sharp tongue, ever heedful to the nuances of conversation and etiquette. Fascinated by the mind, he saw communication as a weapon to rival those of steel. Gifted with a charming countenance and disarming wit, Izen quickly rose to socialite status and made acquaintances with powerful figures.

Inspired by foreigners' tales of lands beyond, Izen grew impatient within the well known walls of his home. After speaking his wishes to Lord Tiredain, the announcement was made that the young master would be departing Galadhor to pursue further education abroad. Bolstered by his own ego and thirst for adventure, Izen took passage aboard the Tidetreader, manned by Captain Reynold Fremont, which set sail for Lokir, a prospering southern port city of the Nord.

Aboard the Tidetreader
Donned in silk garment, a sigil encrusted cane in his hand, Izen came aboard Fremont's vessel.
