 Knowing only the wizard's new name and that he was reportedly living in the mountains to the north, Norson left the academy early one morning and traveled north through elven country. He was not mistreated in his travels but neither was he welcomed due to his half-breed nature. He spent his nights sleeping in the stables for the rooms in the inn were intended for elven-sized occupants. He reached the northern edge of the elven nation and learned from some local townspeople that Gwerion was living in a tower in a valley in the mountains. The warmage welcomed no visitors and turned back all who approached his home.
-With little to lose and an unquenchable desire to learn magic that had only been strengthened in his travels, Norson located the tower of the war wizard. Gwerion refused him entrance, but Norson was not to be dissuaded; he sat before the door to the tower, only moving to relieve himself and only consuming the water and rations he had with him, for solid week. Gwerion was both impressed and curious about the dedication possessed by this half-giant and agreed to teach him the wizarding arts.

 Norson was a quick learner, but there was a vast amount of material to cover. An elven wizard could easily spend a century learning magic. Norson dedicated his entire life to his studies; he learned combat magic, he practiced with sword and armor, he fought against constructs summoned by Gwerion. He neglected the tradition fields of magic – divination and conjuration, for example – to follow in the footsteps of his mentor. Gwerion was a war wizard and taught Norson what he knew best; the school of evocation.

-A decade passed as Norson learned the arts of war from Gwerion. He mastered magic that could topple buildings and dispatch foes. He was skilled with the greatsword and the large suit of breastplate that had been crafted specifically for him. Shortly before his 25th birthday, Norson traveled to the elven village where he had been born. He avoided the villagers, feeling no particular desire to see any of them, including Luhton, and traveled into the nearby mountains. After a few days of searching, Norson located the grave of his father. The valley was small, containing only a scattering of rusted armor and the bones of the dead frost giants. Brush had overgrown everything and Norson spent many hours uncovering the final resting places of his kin. He paid his respects to the grave of his father and left, heading south, never to return.
