Approaching the City

[Molmoch]

ooc: I'm a new player, so if this post is way out of line, please let me know.

Molmoch adjusted his cloak and hood once again as the gates of Vortex could be seen in the distance. He had travelled far from his home, leaving behind those Hayan fools of his Vysstichi background. He was ready to begin a new life, one fixated on the darkness he always felt in his heart.

He had been born a small elven male, small even by that race's standards. But what he lacked in size he had quickly made up for in wit and intellect. His sardonic expression and sarcastic remarks often left him at the hands of bullies and in trouble with adults who considered him to be too big for his shoes. Molmoch didn't care what they thought of him however. He knew that he was destined for greatness, destined to be a necromancer of great power and lore.

He had heard the tales of such masters as a child, and had been always fascinated with those who could control the powers of darkness. While others of his kind and age were exploring their Hayan lusts, he delved into the libraries, eager to find out more about this mystical art. most of the time he was left with frustration as there was little more than rumor and innuendo.

He had left his parents behind when he was 20 patterns old. He was not interested in learning a craft like his father, a blacksmith. Nor was he interested in becoming a mage or wizard. His path was always darker, and he knew he had to get away from the foolishness of his home if he was to ever have a hope of exploring it. He left his mother and family behind, taking a small thin dagger and some crowns he had earned. It wasn't a lot, but it would do to get him started in a new life and a new city.

One more time he adjusted his hood, revelaing his ashen white hair, and pale features. His eyes seemed to glow in the darkness, and he knew that when the sun rose, and the gates to the city opened, his new life would finally start. Here there was potential for an eager elf. He knew it in his blood. He was destined to begin his life here, in Vortex.
