Nicholas



Nicholas, also known as Vlaristovix for the Tauran and Kharad-Kîm by the Dwarves, is a Breton wizard and guardian of Forwall Forest.

Before 8000 A.W.L.D
Nicholas was born in the kingdom of Vastroran, a small Breton kingdom situated west of Forwall Lake that was known for it's wizards.

When he was 12 years old, Nicholas went studying under the archmage of Vastroran soon after he was reported as a breton with higher magical talents. He finished his basic training when he was 17.

A few months after his basic training, the kingdom was under attack from various races (Dark Elves, Orcs and Goblins notable) and destroyed the last remaining Breton kingdom on Irentern. Most survivors were gathered by surviving Breton leaders and left for differend directions, although most breakaway groups have died out in the forest. Nicholas eventually rescued himself out of the rubbles of the main wizard guild in the realm a month after the siege. Nicholas eventually discovered that a part of the library mainly containing spells of various kinds of magics. He closed off the section to keep the books from falling into the wrong hands and left for the forest.

Nicholas eventually discovered an abandoned tower used by both the Bretons and Elves deep in the forest hundreds of miles from the capital of Vastroran (the tower was located far east of Forwall Lake) some centuries ago as a joint watchpost. Nicholas took advantage and went back to get the wizard books, eventually taking it a few months before he returned to the tower with a cart full of books. He eventually repaired the tower and stored the many books, while using the last room for food storage and kitchen. The upper part of the tower was used as study room together as storate for the books he used (the mayority of them) and experimentation. he used the room under him as bedroom.

Nicholas was left untouched for a couple of centuries, spare a few elves who eventually became some friends. He eventually took in a Kobold outcast who became his helper who gathered the daily supplies.

8000 A.W.L.D and after.
Nicholas was eventually accepted as a protector of Forwall Forest, that in return increased his lifespawn to possible immortality. He appeared in public again after the Empire of the Rising Dawn advanced into the forest, claiming it theirs. Nicholas harassed and stopped their expansion for a while, turning his attention to the north.

In the ongoing war of the Goblin extermination in the ancient Dwarven Capital, traces of Malakir worship under goblins was founded together with a library full of ancient magic and history books. Nicholas joined the dwarves, currencly fighting battles against the Goblins.
