Background
- Earlier Years
Kaer was born in a relatively medium sized city in North Eastern Riscana called Lajourin. He was born into the family of a prominent blacksmith, and an esteemed paladin, Alex and Sara Galnic (Parents’ professions and names given respectively). While having his father teach him to craft, Kaer picked up proficiency with multiple weapons and armor. Although he was partially expected to follow in his mother’s footsteps and rise among the rants of paladins, Kaer happened to find a random (convenient!) Library of Lucion in town one day. After talking to a few wizards, at around the age of 13 Kaer began learning the arcane arts. Where you think a Paladin of Dizal might not fully agree with her son following Lucion, however Sara saw no problem, as even at this age Kaer had already developed a strong sense of justice, which would only grow into something that would make Sara proud.
After studying in the Library of Lucion for about three years, at age 16 Kaer had hit a slump in his learning. As the years went by, he only further became a better smith, he knew how to use most weapons (favoring a simple longsword best), and a good grasp on the Arcane. He was beginning to learn the skills of using arcane magic to empower his weapon, but had hit a slump. Both parents noticed this, and decided it was time to try to help their son break the rut he was in by the best method possible -- spreading justice. Sara one day handed Kaer her sword (details on the importance of the sword at the equipment section above) and told him of a stray Bugbear in the convenient nearby forest that clearly -all- cities must have. Lajourin was no exception to this rule, and therefore, with sword in hand, Kaer trotted off to the woods to do battle, keeping in mind his mother’s challenge of only using the sword she loaned him. This would be the event that caused Kaer to be the type of wizard he would be.
- Spellsword and the Enforcers
Initially being ambushed by the Bugbear, Kaer ended up defeating it, citing that his “burning passion for justice alone was strong enough to defeat this enemy.” Regardless of justification, after defeating this Bugbear while keeping true to his mother’s challenge, Kaer made the connection he needed, and after reading the book “The Art of Spellswording -- Casting While Wearing a Lead Sheet” began to learn in the way of the Spellsword. Both parents were not disappointed at all, as not only was Kaer making using of his mother’s sword, which hadn’t been wielded for a few years, but also his father’s craft of steel, as well as Kaer’s own talent for the arcane. Over the next few years, Kaer studied this art using the book as his guide, while still continuing to advance in his talent with the sword, as well as his longtime crafting skill. He studied this way until acquiring the equipment he uses now, which were initially crafted by his father, before getting their magical enhancements. With his mother’s sword in hand, and equipped with the shield and armor crafted specifically for him by his father, at age 20 Kaer left his home town of Lajourin to go in search of a group that he had heard of from people at the Library of Lucion -- The Full Moon Enforcers.
To find the Full Moon Enforcers, Kaer began traveling around, hopping from Library to Library, seeking information. After a few months of search, luck would have it Kaer would be at the right place at the right time to run into a group of Full Moon Enforcers, one of them present being Geon. After talking to Geon for a short while, Kaer went to travel with the Full Moon Enforcers, to ultimately join their fight against unreality. However, besides just battling unreality, Kaer never would forget his roots, and would keep on fighting for what his parents brought him up to see was just.
Since joining, Kaer has shifted his focus from the art of Spellsword to improving his magical talent proper, by learning the ways of the Eldritch knight. It’s in his plans to finish becoming a better all-around wizard before he returns to finishing off his complete mastery of the Spellsword.
