The Path of Rusziné

Rusziné born, and given the name Rostan.

At age five, the Dragons they returned him to the Alliance on the Peaceful Ascent. Before they did, he was granted the ability to retain youthful vigour until his hundredth Anaday because "other would need it", according to the Dragons.   Rostan was then adopted by a family who lived on the South-Eastern tip of Aevyenù Woods. It was there he had the permanent name Rusziné granted to him after developing what seemed to be a spiritual bond with Red Leaf Woodsmen who were visiting.

While choosing to continue his studies at the Temple of Learning, he also trained under various species in multiple non-mystical combat styles. Eventually it was determined that, unlike many of his peers, he was skilled with the great sword, aided greatly by his height. This led many to wonder whether he would, one day, need to lead a great army into a war. Despite this, he preferred to work in the woods rather than relocate to the towns to join the official Byantē forces.

After an Ana of intensive training and yet seeing the good the Tégharii was doing for the poorest in the Byantē Alliance, he decided to venture into Qal'ath with the same desire for positive change for the underprivileged.

While maintaining his growing duties in the Qalathian Army, Rostan becomes accustomed to regular visits to the Crystal Circle. Despite having no Myst Sensitivity of his own, he saw maintenance of the Elements was key to Qal'ath's stability, despite Carnael II's stubborn views on the matter. Thus he became known as an associate of the Circle and became close to Claris in particular who he saw as a mother figure.

Disgusted by Carnael II's attitude to the Foyii, Rusziné changed his appearance, style of clothes and adopted the name Rostan. While he was rescued from death in Tolmyr Sands by the Tégharii based at Camp Hope, he felt he no longer belonged in the land of his birth. He took to wandering in search of people he could help and who he could be assisted by.
