Early Life
(placeholder text)
Dargarth, 6DY
Skullbowl V
After learning the art of fighting from the roving mercenaries of Alera, Dresden was extended an invitation to compete for a spot on Team Alera. Curious about the lands of Dargarth, he decided to enter the fray and compete for his position. Due to his uncommonly quick speed and reflexes (and after earning a scar under his left eye during the training), he accompanied Team Alera to the field of Skullbowl as the team's Quick.
The contest was swift, but fierce. Team Alera secured victory in the competition, with only a single weapon being broken (a new record low)!
Hunt in the King's Forest
Still curious and wanting to learn more about the lands of Dargarth, Dresden found himself in the events that unfolded during the Hunt in the King's Forest. Nobles and bandits alike offered precious stones to those who were able to bring down the beasts of the forest, but be it man or beast, Dresden's own personal code abhorred killing for sport.
He happened upon a Druid, the Keeper of the animals of this particular wood. With the Druid's blessing he defended the creatures of the forest from both the Lords and the bandits, managing to do so without actually killing any of the Lords (or the Lords' companions) in the process. The bandits...well, that was another story. As lawbreakers and thieves they were fair targets, and no matter the odds, he would not hold back against any who tried to take him on.
At one point, Dresden attempted to save Tristan of Erzoth from an undead sorcerer: Kendric Graveborn, formerly Kendric Flamehands. As noble as it was, the attempt was ill-concieved and the giant undead was able to withstand Dresden's assault long enough to send him to Hades for a time. Upon Dresden's return, however, he once again heard of Tristan's plight at the hands of the undead and threw himself into the fray. The forces of Lord Arminius had already engaged the creature and welcomed the aid. Rather poetically, Dresden managed to bring down Kendric with the very symbol he held so dear: hands of flame. It was after this defeat that Kendric swore an eternal hatred for Dresden, naming himself Dresden's archrival and engaging him on the field of battle wherever he could. Tristan was recovered and brought to be healed by the Druid, and he offered a bounty on the newly resurrected Kendric's head...which Dresden was happy to turn in.
After the brief alliance to bring down Kendric, Dresden even undertook a small quest to return the banner of Lord Arminius, if only to undo the wrong that had been done. The two established a mutual understanding during the events of that day: So long as Lord Arminius was not hunting the creatures of the forest for sport, Dresden would not intervene in his activities and would even aid in his defense against the brigands that sought to steal from him.
This proved to be a beneficial understanding later on, as Dresden recovered the stolen blade of the Forest Druid, a blade capable of harnessing the very power of lightning itself. As the Forest Druid's champion, Dresden used the sword to bring down several undead and many other criminals. So began the legend of the sword Thorn, Blade of Lightning. Though the blade was returned at day's end to its home in the sacred groves of the Forest, its power may yet surface again....
