Kazahk of Ereworn

Kazahk is a Erewornian Sorceror of peasant descent. He appears in the Dragon Warriors: The Elven Crystals PBP campaign as a player character played by Morrig.

Character History

Kazahk was born to simple farmers in a tiny village in Ereworn, just south of the great forest of Gallow Wood. The villagers led a relatively peaceful if hard life, being so poor that they were largely ignored by marauding bandit bands who frequent the area. To the superstitious folk of the village, the forest to the north held great mystery and fear. Rumors abound of a demon-man named Hasulfang with dreadful magical powers who lives in the forest near its southern edge.

One day while out gathering firewood, the 8-year-old Kazahk ventured too far into the dark forest and was attacked by a pack of foxes intent on having him for a meal. A fearsome stream of fire sudden flared up, setting several of the predators on fire and driving away the remaining, leaving the boy shaken but unhurt. Opening his eyes cautiously, the young Kazahk looked up and saw only a grey robed old man with a long bushy white beard standing before him leaning on a strange-looking staff. The young Kazahk correctly deduced his savior to be Hasulfang, quickly impressing the old sorceror with his keen mind and unusual fearlessness. It turned out that Hasulfang was no "demon-man", but a rather skilled sorceror who fled to Ereworn to escape powerful enemies in his homeland of Krath. The rumours about a demon-man while not started by Hasulfang, were rather welcomed by him since it caused the villagers to avoid the forest where he made his dwelling and leave him alone.

Recognizing Kazahk's talent for the occult, Hasulfang, with the help of a rather spectacular display of magical pyrotechnics, impressed the boy into becoming his apprentice. Over the next 12 years, unknown to the rest of the villagers, Hasulfang took up the boy's education, training him in the secrets of the arcane arts, teaching him to read and write, passing on knowledge about the history and lore of the Lands of Legend. Kazahk proved to be a gifted student, learning quickly, mastering everything Hasulfang had to teach.

In Kazahk's 20th year, a plague of Black Death swept over the village and surrounding areas, killing his family and wiping out more than 3/4 of the village's population. Those who survived drifted away to other places looking for safe havens still untouched by the plague. Having no place to go, Kazahk moved in to live with his master, the now aged Hasulfang increasingly weakened by old age. Hasulfang eventually died of old age 2 years later, leaving his meager possessions to Kazahk. There being nothing left for him in the place of his birth, Kazahk, now a young man of about 22, decided to venture forth into the world to seek his fortune by his wit and arcane abilities.
