Entry for the Sword & Sorcery Contest that's
being set up over at DeviantArt. Just couldn't resist, and I had the perfect thing for it. I wrote up fifteen years worth of stories for this particular character years ago, and always wanted to do more with him.
But anyways, the vitals- I apologize if this gets a little wordy. I tried compressing it as much as I could but....well, there was a LOT.
Name: Danial Tienad
Age: 22
Birthplace: Castle Tienad, The Barony of SteelHeart,
The Kingdom of Intrius, North Panmean
Continent.
Education: Eight years training at the Royal Court, ten years
of self-taught wizardry, emphasis on
merging-magic and warkasting.
Signature Talents: Able to merge with his surroundings, granting him truly fearsome power in battle. Also possesses the fabled Gaze of Heavens spell, allowing him to negate any offensive magic cast against him.
Life: The only son born to Baron Keniv Tienad and the Lady Brissa, Danial was raised during the peaceful reign of his cousin, Highking Trelane aps'Sukkara. Educated within the royal court alongside his two older sisters, Danial did not excel at any one subject, only becoming average in them all.
After his court education had ended, he took up swordsmanship with his father's retainer, Sir Mattheas ibn Igari, who found the boy an enthusiastic if inept pupil.
On the day of his tenth birthday, his hometown of SteelHeart was beseiged by Marauders from the Northern Iron Star Army, led by one General Moses Arken. Danial could only watch as his father fell trying to protect his family,
slain by the General himself. Before the women of the Tienad family could be killed, Danial took up his father's sword, and tried to play the role of guardian, only to be cast aside by the General, flung into a burning building.
When Danial awoke, he found SteelHeart in ashes, gutted and dead. The only other survivor was Sir Mattheas, although he had lost an arm in the fighting. His body weak, his face scarred from the fire, Danial scoured the remains of his home, hoping to find his family, convinced they had survived. The only thing he found was an old book of magic his grandfather had written years before. With the trauma of the attack, the murder of his family, and his own scarring clouding his mind, he found that he could easily read and master the spells within the book, especially the ones that allowed him to take on the properties of any substance he touched.
Spending years mastering magic, Danial has now becoming a mystic-thief, a wandering wizard who seeks only to become more powerful by robbing and stealing from the graves and temples of history's greatest sorcerors, absconding their power for his own, until he believes himself strong enough to face General Arken again, and to kill him. |

 Re: The Mage Looks like he paid a price for his magic.
