Vogvhathos

You are an elf of unknown lineage living in a remote tower with your best friend, Gruzi, in the mercenary town of Kirkvir. As a mage, Gruzi was in danger of being snatched up for a forced marriage by the Council. To protect him you agreed to a false marriage, claiming you were his voifoten -- soulmate -- to any who asked.

Rejected by the city as a “dropoff” in spite of your athleticism, you spend most of your free time watching the official trainees. After sparring with the Weapon Master Lubien, he pulls you aside and admits your worst nightmare: The Council has discovered the truth about you and Gruzi.

So begins your panicked flight from the city and eventual discovery of a secret sealed deep in an ancient ruin.
