Current Character Description - Zeros do' Mtor

An elven figure stands before you, veiled forever in the shadows of drow skin.  His body is six feet tall, topped with short hair as pale as bone. A long, hooded cloak is fastened about his neck with a small onyx rose. Its torn black fabric sometimes  blowing in the wind.  He wears a pair of leather  bracers and a suit of drow chainmail, his strong legs protected  by reinforced  shinguards. In his hand he often carries a small book, its old jacket made of worn brown leather, its pages near cracking. His face, when seen from below the dark hood, was  once useful..  but now, its dark flesh is scarred diagonally over the nose.

Tasks & Travels [Black Rose][3/3]

The quests from Turiya were all items he had to get across the Realms. Some of them he knew about, others he didn't. By using magical spells, and by visiting merchants, taverns and bars he obtained the information. These quests brought him all over the Realms, from the icy plains of Mahn'Tor to the city of Meznoberranzan. After two months of traveling he had what he wanted, and returned to Westbridge to prepare for the coming travels. Sitting on a table in a corner of Nisstyre's Tavern he opened up the letter from Zeros. "Riddles" he muttered, "not my strongest point". He decided to take a room at the Yawning Portal Inn to study the riddles given to him by Zeros. After a week of studying them he decided it was time to travel. He knew the first two targets, but still had problems with the third. Hopefull he would think of the solution during his travels. The moment he understood the riddle came. While he was fighting Githyanki halberdiers guarding their keep the thought back about his travels on the Forgotten Realms continent. When he was finished at the keep, he traveled to New Thalos and shipped in to the City of Waterdeep. From there he traveled to the Plains of the Death, and back to New Thalos via the docks of the City of Waterdeep. Finally, after four and a half months he was back in Westbridge. He kept in his mind that he had still like fifteen days.. Sitting in Nisstyre's Tavern he thought about his travels and about the coming days.. He looked up becouse he felt someone moved the empty chair at his table. In front of him was sitting Turiya. Near the exit stood Zeros, keeping an eye on the street outside. "You are finished?" spoke Turiya, "Give me the bag". Sefkar, still too surprised to say anything, silently handed over the bag containing the items he found all over the Realms, and prayed they were the right ones. It took Turiya only ten seconds to look in the bag, and back to Sefkar. He grinned and nodded... "All right.."

Changes [Black Rose][2/3]

On a normal day Sefkar went to the meeting point to meet up with Amanar, the first meeting since like two months. Amanar wasn't there. Instead of Amanar, Zeros stepped back from the shadows of a tree, and above him was Turiya sitting on a branch. "Where is Amanar?" asked Sefkar. Zeros reply was short: "gone.... me and Turiya are taking over". Sefkar looked at Zeros, then at Turiya, and back at Zeros. "Gone??" he spoke. Turiya jumped from the tree and nodded "Now leave, and continue to develop yourself as you did when Amanar was still around.. you are the only druid left now." For months he was alone now. Traveling, fighting, practicing, learning. He didn't see Killian or Sularin during these times, and he made a long journey by ship across the sea of swords to get to know the Forgotten Realms continent. After about half a year he returned back to the vicinity of Westbridge to meet up with Zeros and Turiya again for instructions. They both seemed to have changed a bit. The thick armor of Zeros showed his changed position, as did some of Turiya's equipment. "It's now time to show what you learned and can" spoke Turiya. "We both have some quests for you. If you complete them, you will be our new druid. If you fail you will be banished and will face death when you meet us again". Sefkar nodded as a sign that he understood it. Both Zeros and Turiya gave him a small letter. "First open Turiya's, once you completed them open mine." said Zeros, "We will meet again here in five months. Not showing up then means banishment". Sefkar nodded and left the scene.

Introduction [Black Rose][1/3]

How long ago was it? Ten years? Twenty years? He remembers it as it happend yesterday. Leaving your place of birth, your home, your everything.. the Underdark. The drow, known becouse of the vendetta's between the independent houses which populate the Underdark again took arms against each other. Instead of joining their sublime forces against orcs and otherlow races they slaughtered each other, 'just like the humans' he thought. House il'Gatha was on the wrong side, at least if they wanted to survive it. That didn't happen, an ambush by two other houses who joined forces (and fought over the loot afterwards) made an end of the elite force the house had. Sefkar survived this. Although he wished he could've been there to assist his family, a wound from a previous battle kept him home, while the matron and the other drow went out to search battle, they found it, just not at the place they expected. As Sefkar heard the news he knew he had only two options, stay and die, or leave and die later on. He chose the latter option. He left the Underdark and stayed in caves and mazes less deep underground as the Underdark for years. Eventually he went out during the night to gather food and steal new equipment, and accustomed himself with the little light from the moon. More and more years passed, and Sefkar stayed out of the caves longer and longer, sometimes even when the sun already started with his journey along the skies. His eyes and skin adapted themselves at the sunlight and made it possible for him to travel during daylight now. A long period of traveling and building up knowledge about the outside world started. Totally unknown about what happened on the surface he started to travel. Those travels strengthen him, he had to fight animals he never knew about to survive. Sefkar started to love the forests as he loved the Underdark, and started to become one with nature, like the pure elves are. As a druid, his knowledge based on experience, he traveled along the realms. He did not just fight animals to survive, but also other races to obtain tools and money. Slowly but steadily he got his strength back his body once had. Then, on one of his rare trips to an urban area he met Amanar. This human was a druid, just like Sefkar, but he also was the leading force behind the Black Rose, a fear spreading cult. Amanar helped Sefkar developing himself for years. He gave advice and training, but also made sure Sefkar kept improving himself on his own. He got to know other people who were much further in their training. One of them was a Strider, sublime in combat in the forests and a master of tracking going by the name of Turiya. The other was a master of combat, wherever this combat was. His power in combat was not just his speed, but also his intelligence. The name of this gladiator was Zeros. The training continued, and Sefkar kept improving himself. He noticed that he wasn't alone anymore.. there were other Initiates who got their training too, fled from the Underdark, or left at their own will, they were now trained in the art of surface battle. One of the was named Killian, the other Sularin. Sularin was more a sort of lone wolf in his task, as he left the Underdark at a low age and lived in the forests for almost twenty years. Killian though was more a co-operative person, and soon Sefkar and Killian went out to fight side by side, developing a friendship.
