Background: Talas Volodymir was born to a humble family in a village near a Great Stag lodge, where his father (and his father before him) belonged as a Berserker. Talas was always more of a dedicated student, so by the time he had to either join a lodge or choose a different path, he chose the latter.

He started playing the Bohran and Thin Whistle in the beginning of his teenage, and while he only manifested the Art when he was 17, he almost immediately started playing at the Green Chapel Inn at the edge of Urlingwood, the last place Rashemi and foreigners both can visit before the woods, if they plan to leave (or remain) in Rashemen with their lives.

With music came a love for his young heart, Nastaschia, grandaughter of the current Olothran. They discovered how to be a happy Rashemi teenager together, and would be married as soon as they became of age, but Nastaschia was asked to take the path of the Hathran, and she accepted.

His last year in Urlington was his saddest. When time came for Nastaschia to enter the woods and cover her face, becoming more Hatran than woman in a way, his heart took the best of him, and on the first night after her departure into the woods, he tried to sneak into the Witches' sacred ground. It was obviously a bad idea, and before long he was surrounded by the Telthors and Witches who had felt his presence.

For his shame the Olothran was there was well, and Nastaschia. The Olothran told him then that the Hidden One doesnt usually bestow Her gifts unto such stupid people, but She had gifted him nevertheless. And the Witches had decided he was to be asked to join the Vremyonni, but because of his trespassing sacred ground, he was now exiled from Rashemen. The condition of his return was that his name should be spoken with pride in Rashemen before his feet touched its soil again. He packed his things, sold all his possessions except for a sword, shield, chain shirt and writing materials, and took to the road, headed to the Edificant Library to offer any work he could perform in exchange for education. He would become famous, and he would have his name spoken in Rashemen as the man who taught Abeir Toril about the very spirits he disrespected for love.

Goals: Find and catalogue Telthors not native to Rashemen, communicate with them, and write about Telthors so that his name may be recognized as an authority in the matter as he spreads the lore of his land to the rest of Abeir-Toril.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
Anything related to Telthors, Witches (Hathran or otherwise), his lost love Nastaschia.

Edit: I will probably start a journal for him, which I hope will help shape him and update DMs on the character.
