The Journal Entry’s title

Aran was born in the great southern land to family of bakers just trying to stay a float in this harsh time of war and dragons. Having a happy childhood his parents wanted him to have a better life than that of the bakery so at the age of 5 he studied herbalism with his parents hope that he will be able to make his own apothecary. By the age of 6 Aran meet a Black Robed Mage by the name of the Raven who was buying a loaf of bread.
 
Aran's Parents Pleaded to the Raven to teach their son magic so he can have a better life. The Raven begrudgingly takes Aran from his home and trains him in High Sorcery of the moon Nuitary. Aran was poor at learning magic but had a hunger to succeed and to fulfil his parents wish for him. By the time Aran was 7 years of age he had developed a way to learn and copy spells much faster by making the spells themselves living and able to reach into his head.
 
After becoming competent at base level magic around his 8th birthday, Aran managed to become an initiate at a mage tower where he studied hard for 12 years and managed to make 2 friends. Wincrind is a Red mage who has learnt scibe magic from Aran and was his only friend until the age of 18 when they became friends with one of the couriers Moist.
 
Aran riunited with the Raven once again when he visited the mage tower and proceeded to show Aran creatures and sights from his travels before lamenting on his own mortality; at which point he performed a ritual to create a murder commet and bound his soul to it. The Raven in his new form flew into the night sky reaching for the stars.
 
Aran on his 25th birthday was at a local tavern having just past the test of High Sorcery alongside Wincrind. Wincrind and Moist both egged Aran to try and pick up the tavern wench behind the bar. Aran's attempt to whoo the tavern maiden was to cure her younger brother of blindness but as he had not talked to her beforehand he did not know she had a boyfriend and thus unfortunately struck out.
 
The night after excessive drinking he woke up in a strange tower filled with undead, a minotaur, a bard, a fishman, a one armed elf and a cleric.
