Editing Character:Naeem of the Brave Water (section)

=== Character Description ===

Naeem grew up along a great river, working his family's plot, and tending the Imperial fields when the floods came. However, he had the touch of destiny – there was an intensity in his gaze and an acuteness in his questions which kept his neighbors away from him. Because of this, he has yet to marry. One night, he followed a dream to the outskirts of his village. There he stood in amaze as raiders swept in and burned it to the ground. <br>

His family escaped alive, but their livelihood had been destroyed. And so, turning his backs on them, he directed his steps toward the great city of Garama, hoping to learn a better way of life. There he was spotted in the labor pool, and purchased as a bondsman by a great sorcerer, who thinks to test the young man for his worth as an apprentice. If he can survive the tests, that is…<br>

Naeem's main motivation is power. He doesn't want to be a simple farmer, at the mercy of raiders and tax collectors. If he's going to be at anyone's mercy, at least it should be someone ''worth'' hating, like a king or demon. He's trying hard to develop the necessary cruelty and ruthlessness to make a proper sorcerer.<br>
