Description:
Hailing from the clans of the Frozen Wastes, Beltac is certainly far from home. It seems his pilgrimage lead him hear looking for those strong enough to endure the harsh trials of the north. His story to the patrons at the Open Feast was as follows
The story of Runa Banasár. She proved that with enough willpower, you can overcome the cold of death as easily as the cold of the North.
Runa Banasár was the leader of one of northern tribes in time long forgotten. She lived for the thrill of the hunt, and her rare skills kept her clan fed for many
years. Runa grew bored hunting wild game and left her home many times, exploring farther and farther to find bigger challenges. She returned home months or years later with the trophies from countless monsters and beasts.
During her travels, Runa learned a dark ritual, foul magic of a living death, that of a lichdom. She feared aging and death. To become immortal and avoid frailty, it was said Runa was willing to do whatever was required. She eventually slaughtered her clan to become a lich and maintain that status. Stories were always told of Runa traveling the world, looking for fierce enemies and souls to maintain her undeath.
Many of us thought this was an ancient tale of wisdom, to teach us to value life and to not fall into the trappings of magic. Now more than one clan has fallen. Something that has not happened for a long time. Ever since the Realms of the Mammoth Lords were formed.
Bio:
“Finally, a fellow Northman! I was not impressed by his combat skills, though. Perhaps his time in Mercadia has dulled his abilities. I should challenge him to single combat to find out.” – Damien Capashan
