Brando Nebel

Brando Nebel grew up in the slums aways away from a rich city in Mayun with a sister and his parents. He spent most of his childhood scouring trash through the landfill with his family in search of valuables that they could sell in exchange of a meal or other necessities. When he reached an age that his father considered appropriate for work he was sent to the nearby rich city in search of work, but Brando had also kept a shiny metallic object he had found and was hoping he could sell it in order to buy his sister something nice. Nobody would buy the item though and he was sent to a nearby temple by a shopkeeper, telling him that what he was trying to sell was a holy symbol. Arriving at the temple he was approached by a priest who considered him to be an omen after he presented the item. He was offered a place to stay and maybe some work if he proved capable. He was put through a series of challenges testing his stamina, agility and intellect. The last challenge was what confirmed to the priests, that his presence was indeed an omen, a sign from their goddess. "What is truth" he was questioned and his answer reflected the dogma of Leira. "Truth is a worthless thing to know and worth even less to speak aloud. Myths and legend are what make folk happy and life interesting". The priests then inquired if he wished to live an interesting life by joining their clergy, to which he answered positively. One of the priests took him under his wing and attempted to teach him magic which proved to be too complex for him to understand and later he was assigned to another priest who taught him the art of sneaking and trained him in martial arts. His parents were displeased with his teachings, especially his father who considered him worthless for not working to bring them money and after a fight he left his home and made the temple his new home. The years after that had him put his skill to work by becoming a scout for the Mist Callers and later after receiving the gift of magic from Leira by finding a vestige left behind by her since the Days of Tribulation, he went on a search to find more of these ancient artifacts.

Skipping from adventure to adventure in search of magic artifacts he traveled to the heart of the serpent mountain before being engulfed by a heavy fog and finding himself on the banks of a river surrounded by strange trees and mist.
