Personal history

Almë lived in the Elven village of Nendo Lantasírë (Lake of Falling Waters) not too far from Pelloth, in the Altasirya river valley. It was a settlement of perhaps 500 or so people, situated on the shore of a lake, and built in a typical Elven style, with flets, platforms, and structures suspended or attached to the trees. Growing up, he’d always been asked to help with tending the various plants that made up an Elven settlement. But he was young, and restless, and when he became a young man, he joined the Tondene Imperial Army. However, he found that this wasn’t the life he wanted, so after his contract was over he went back home. He wanted to go back to tending plants. He became the Elven equivalent of a farmer, although their system of farming was more like an intensive style of gathering. He also tended to the defensive plants that formed the primary barrier that kept enemies and animals out of the settlement. On occasion, he helped his wife, Viryalassë, build and repair the buildings of the settlement, which were mostly grown out of living, shaped branches.
Viryalassë was a much better mage than he (M3), and she discovered a new trick using a combination of spells from the Plant and Earth Colleges. Almë didn’t understand fully what she was doing, despite her trying to explain it. His thaumatology expertise wasn’t sufficient for him to understand how she could take the essence of earth and infuse it into woody plants, strengthening them beyond even Essential Wood’s capabilities, and making them resistant to fire as well. Being a kind soul, without greed or jealousy, she shared it with a mage’s guild, thinking that if this technique was widely adopted, settlements in forests wouldn’t be as susceptible to wildfires. This proved to be a mistake. Viryalassë was the smarter and better mage of the pair of them, and Almë loved her deeply. The mages’ guild attacked, in order to steal the idea and gain a monopoly, and while he tried to fight them off, he didn’t succeed. They killed his wife, and thought they had killed him, but he managed to survive. With vengeance on his mind. He doesn’t know which mage guild it is, or where they are located. But he is determined to find out.
Armed with his wife’s staff, he set off to search for this wife’s killers. He’s not the best mage, or the most powerful. And for the moment, his melee skills that he learned while in the army are his main go-to skill set. But that will change. He’ll have to learn how to be a better mage if he is going to prevail. Being good with a weapon is one thing, but in order to survive against the guild he has decided is his enemy, he will need more than that.
