Zael is a character played by Will. He is a human Cleric worshiping an Elven goddess, Llon. He focuses on his Llon's teachings of Heroism and Liberation. Like other worshippers of his goddess, he is skilled at using the bow. Prior to dedicating his life to his goddess, he as a blacksmith and fletcher, both of which he plans on using to further his goals.
Early life
Zael was born into a family of handimen in the village of Kelnon, along the border of Awn Tellan. His father was a blacksmith who specialized in making tools, and his mother was a handweaver. At the age of 9, he became interested in the work of his father, and started to train under him, learning the fundamentals of the blacksmithing trade. Around this time, the Sa'Enkadian empire launched its war to conquer the continent, and his father thought it prudent to send Zael to a blacksmith who could teach him the way of making weapons. Zael was sent to the city of Cantur, a place well known for its quality weapons.
Life in Cantur
In Cantur, Zael apprenticed under a weaponsmith who taught him how to make weapons and bows. During his third year of apprenticeship, Zael was sent on a routine delivery of crossbows to a neighboring town that had ordered crossbows in case the Sa'Enkadians or bandits attacked, and it was Zael's job to deliver them. Since there was a good road between the towns, all he took was the cart full of crossbows and a horse to pull the cart. However, halfway between the towns he and his horse were attacked my ravenous wolves. Zael quickly jumped into the cart while watching the wolves tear the horse to shreds. Cursing his master for forgetting to supply crossbow bolts, Zael cowered behind the wooden railing of the cart, hoping beyond hope that a wolf wouldn't find its way up. And since being eaten alive by ravenous wolves wouldn't make for a very interesting (or workable) character backstory, as luck would have it, a cleric of the temple of Llon was out in the area gathering herbs for the temple apothecary.
