Background

Balian Dînas was born into the fairly comfortable life of a smallholder in the village of Brambleby a couple of hours east of Last Bridge . The village also belongs to Baron Hanover. Finding the life of a miller uneventful and his older sister being there already to continue the family’s trade their father joined the armies of several of the contenders in the civil war , lately moving far to the east with the troops of Queen Isabella. They left shortly before Rosewater who had struggled since childhood to fit into gendered norms and felt more at home roaming the countryside picking blackberries,swimming and boating on the local Briar river and leaving offerings to the local spirits and faeries as their mother and many of the neighbors recommended, encountered an elementalist passing through the village on college business . The child who’d come to be known as Rosewater was able to retrieve a ring the mage had dropped in the river through a combination of stamina and being encouraged further down by the fish they met as they dived to the bottom and retrieved the coral ring. Satisfied by its recovery and Rosewater’s success at what may have been a test or a matter of chance and having been informed of the circumstances of the dive the witch offered to train the child in wizardry at a faraway college in the city and Rosewater’s mother was only too glad to see them go with the hope of them getting a better education and because she had younger twins to look after and a husband who tempted the fortunes of war.

Settling in the city Rosewater was able to begin a more formal study of the folklore that had been passed by the fireside and next to the Midsummer fires in their village . The allure of the city with its taverns, theaters and games was strong for the first few years but they applied themselves and were able to become an apprentice elementalist in good standing. The chance of taking up this first mission for the Order and to return home fills them with excitement.
