Personal history
Born as the unassuming son of typicaly Fumayan peasant farmers, Cemach annoyed his parents by having his head in the clouds and obsessing with stories and legend. At thirteen ran away from home to become the apprentice of a classical hermetic bard though they had a falling out early for unknown reasons.
He begged and scavenged across the length and breadth of West Colassia. Sometimes parleying his magical skills to let him join adventuring parties, but somewhat stymied by his lack of courage in the face of mortal danager. He briefly served on the crew of a sailing ship and saw a bit of the Elven Empire, but he found a life at sea was not for him. While he sought money and romantic companions, his true desire was stories.
After rouhgly two decades facing death from starvation, exposure, or violence, he decided he had enough life as a wandering vagrant and returned to Fumaya to live out his days as a storyteller. He does not like to talk about his own adventurers, prefering to talk about adventurers others did which includes both real stories and the exploits of fictional heroes.
