Borim The Mage

Early Life
Borim the mage was born a peasant in the small city of Gargalley in the isle of Gargallow in 1191. As a young child, he read the stories and legends of Lomas The Last Mage and the tales of Kaeron Oxsforson and the Reverent Revolution. He would immerse himself in books and the mysteries of the world.

This all ended when he was ten when he was blinded. He was forced to beg on the streets after his father banished him from his home, seeing that Borim could not be a fighter.

The Black Prison
In 1206, he joined the Seekers at the Black Prison, serving as a servant to Grand Seeker Albrom. He cleaned the Prison grounds and tended to the Seekers of the prison. He earned enough money to sail south to Underwall where he joined the monestary of Mages.

The Mages
At the monestary he meditated to the Polytria, he learned the ancient arts of old Draconia and the written texts of Stolos King Hearted. He trained as a mage for four years. When he turned nineteen he rose through the ranks of the monastic order and challenged the Imperative Master, Erwyl of Stoneway.

Borim dueled Erwyl with sword and magic. Erwyl wielded the greatsword "Little Razor", the famous shortsword of the hero Stolos King Hearted. Borim clashed with Erywl in the courtyard of the monestary. In the end, Borim impaled Erywl with his sword and took "Little Razor for his own.

He assumed leadership of the monestary and was invited to the court of a young King Merne Alston. However in 1208, he was captured by a rogue group of warlocks in the jungles of Underwall.

The Massacre at Yulunjii
After his capture, Borim was taken to an old Draconian ruin called Yulunjii Assatasp. They tortured Borim for hours, they cut off his nipples and burned tribal symbols onto his back. They would throw whip him with a whip imbedded with shredded diamond.

King Merne sent out a search party for Borim led by Merne himself. Borim however, managed to escape. He strangled his cell guard and slit the throat of the other. He ran through the halls, burning men alive with his magic and whispering his name into their ears, he watched their eyes as the life drifted away from them. He entered the stonehold under the fort, the headquarters of the kidnapper boss, Ajras of Atora. Borim held only a small obsidian dagger, his clothes bloody and tattered.

The two bean to duel, Borim fought the man with pure rage, and an odd madness. He plunged his dagger so far into Ajras' jaw, Borim had to leave it. when the king's army arrived at Yulunjii, they found the bodies of the dead kidnappers hanging from the tree's horrifically mutilated, many were impaled on the gates. They found Borim standing in the front courtyard with a devilish smile and a fear-induing laugh.
