  Chronicles of the Eremite: Chapter 3 - The Scarred Child: Part III - Greetings and Farewells  [ Comment ]
Print News | Category: GW Vault Articles
From BelzanFuru's Chronicles of the Eremite:
Belzan's childhood was pretty average. He played with the town kids and completed chores for his mother. He knew responsibility early and took to learning alchemy naturally. Lavian taught him all about Dwayna and instilled in him the ideals of helping others and being respectful. Belzan was an inquisitive child who wanted to know how things worked and where things come from. It was the how that drove him more than the why. It is for these reasons that he didn't ask his mother about his scar or his father until he was about six years old. She told him that the scar was a birthmark and nothing more. She had lost hope of Kail returning and told Belzan that his father was simply not with them anymore. Kail's return only confused things further.

      Assassin Chronicles - Chapter Eight  [ Comment ]
    Print News | Category: GW Vault Articles
    From Nightcraws' Assassin Chronicles:
    Well into the late afternoon and early evening the storm continued. Clouds hid the moon and the streets of Seitung Harbor were dark. After escaping through the window of the Armory I hid behind a merchant shop in a quiet corner of town far away from the previous events of the day. The last thing I wanted to do was nod off and get caught near the Armory and be brought in for questioning by local authorities.

      Chronicles of the Eremite: Chapter 3 - The Scarred Child: Part II - In Danger  [ Comment ]
    Print News | Category: GW Vault Articles
    From BelzanFuru's Chronicles of the Eremite:
    Lavian's time in the village was brief, lasting just over a month. She got to know everyone in the village by name and learned all about their lives. She could see herself living in the little village, being a part of the familial community, if it weren't for her son. Belzan's birthmark-his scar-would inevitably draw the attention of the Church of Grenth and Lavian didn't want to burden down upon such humble people. After speaking in confidence with Elder Rabne, he agreed and told her of a safer place to the east called Beetletun. Elder Rabne arranged with Elder Hezron to have a place for her to stay there, and Zue's father offered to escort her to the town. In addition, Elder Rabne sent word to Lion's Arch to inform Kail of the birth of his son and where Lavian would be living.
