Early Life
(placeholder text)
Dargarth, 6DY
Skullbowl V
After learning the art of fighting from the roving mercenaries of Alera, Dresden accompanied Team Alera to the field of Skullbowl as the team's Quick. The contest was swift but fierce. Team Alera secured victory in the competition, with only a single weapon being broken!
Hunt in the King's Forest
Dresden found himself at the Hunt in the King's Forest. Nobles and bandits alike offered precious stones to those who were able to bring down the beasts of the forest, but Dresden abhors killing for sport. With the local Druid's blessing, he defended the creatures of the forest from both the Lords and the bandits, managing to do so without actually killing any of the Lords (or the Lords' companions) in the process. The bandits were lawbreakers and thieves. He did not hold back against them.
At one point, Dresden attempted to save Tristan of Erzoth from the undead sorcerer, Kendric Graveborn. The giant undead was able to withstand Dresden's assault and send him to Hades. Later, he joined up with the forces of Duke Arminius engaging the creature. Rather poetically, Dresden managed to bring down Kendric with the very symbol he held so dear: flamehands. After this defeat, Kendric swore an eternal hatred for Dresden, naming himself Dresden's arch-rival. The Druid offered a bounty on the newly resurrected Kendric's head, which Dresden was happy to turn in.
After recovering the banner of Lord Arminius, the two established a mutual understanding during the events of that day: So long as Lord Arminius was not hunting the creatures of the forest for sport, Dresden would not intervene in his activities and would even aid in his defense against the brigands that sought to steal from him.
This proved to be a beneficial understanding later on, as Dresden recovered the stolen blade of the Forest Druid, a blade capable of harnessing the very power of lightning itself. As the Forest Druid's champion, Dresden used the sword to bring down several undead and many other criminals. So began the legend of the sword Thorn, Blade of Lightning. Though the blade was returned at day's end to its home in the sacred groves of the Forest, its power may yet surface again.
