Baldur Kari

EARLY LIFE
A Plainsmen warrior Born of the Hrio Barg Tribe. Under a bright sun on a Murphsday the whelp eventually known as Baldur was born to his Father Ebenezer, a Sculptor and Stone Warrior, and Alva a great Ulfvaen. at birth his mother rejected him due to his small birth size. Ebenezer however saw the boy as special and protected him from his Mother. As he grew up he began to display strange sensitivities on his eighth bright sun Baldur accidentally beet a fellow whelp near death because he broke a flute his father gave to him. while he was playing near their home. When His Father came out to stop the fight he saw that Baldur was not even touching the other whelp, but was causing him pain while his eyes had turned a milky glowing white. Baldur could use Magic. Magic is a strange and Taboo thing to the plainsmen. Anyone discovered to be a practitioner, or user is exiled becoming UtLaegr. so his Father demanded he tell no one.

Because of his Parent's status in the tribe he was introduced to the highest of social circles in the Hrio Barg involving high ranking tribesman all the way up to the chiefs family. His two best friends growing up were the Cheiftan's Son eventually a whelp who would earn the name Baeyo

and the girl who had been chosen the daughter Helena, a whelp who would earn the name Kari.

The three of them were all trained under the Kings War Liege this time allowed them to become very close. Kari would often meet Baldur in secret and he would show her his magic. she loved it. Even though Baldur was smaller than most and he was just as skilled at combat through his ability to move quickly and silently.

Earning His name
Baldur earned his first name on his 15th sun the same as Baeyo. They were sent as emissaries to a fringe tribe that was revolting. upon their arrival Baeyo was captured Baldur was able to avoid being captured and hid, using stealth. he freed Baeyo, but not before the Fringe Tribe's two leaders caught him in the act. Eventually Baldur and Baeyo overcame them. and asked them their names before taking their lives, and their names. during this trip Kari earned her name while outrunning with the Ulfvaen.

The Love Triangle and Exile
Baldur, and Baeyo both fell in love with Kari. she was the strongest of the female warriors rivaling even Baldur's Mother Alva. She was the chosen Daughter of Helena, and the most beautiful woman. Kari loved both of them, but in the end the marriage of Baeyo, and Kari was arranged by the Chief. They were bound in a ceremony by the chief. Baldur refused to go to the wedding causing a schism between him and Baeyo. a year later he ran into Kari in one of the tribes celebrations. Baeyo was out on a war raid. They reconnected and Kari remembered why she loved Baldur.

Where as Baeyo was the strongest warrior, tough, stern, and serious. Baldur was playful, spirited, charismatic and charming. as well he held the mysteries of magic. Also he played a fucking sick lute, flute, and drum. Upon Baeyo's return he found out about the dalliance, and confronted Baldur in his home. they battled during which Baldur was forced to use magic to gain the upper hand. Baldur had Baeyo defeated. However, he could not bring himself to kill his best friend. he left him crippled something that is seen as an evil act. Baldur then fled the town.

when Kari came over for another tryst with Baldur all she found was the crippled and defeated Baeyo. Disgusted and enraged by Baldur's actions she bestowed a merciful death on Baeyo. his name however was lost since her killing him was not suring a true defeat in battle. Baeyo would forever walk beneath the emerald sea in the Halls of Kur'Shai. Kari now honor bound to kill Baldur regretfully attacked him. Baldur defended himself tearfully using spells, and all his ability. Their battle nearly tore the town apart. in the end however, baldur put his spear through Kari's heart killing her, and earning his second name.

Baldur was exiled as a Utlaegr for his ability to use magic. as well as sentenced to death by natural affliction for the dishonor of crippling his fellow tribesman. he would be forced to live out his days safely at the base of Helena's throne begging for forgiveness until a natural death took him. his response was Fuck that. and he magicked his way out of prison put the guards to sleep and headed to the coast where he was very welcome aboard a ship as a hired muscle.
