Bio

Zale was born of an elven merchant, Saaell Fairwind, and a nobel’s daughter, Zalena Cullen, whom met during a trip that Zalena had made to help insure the peace between the humans and the elves. There was an instant attraction by both human and elf. Zalena sent back word that peace was to assured but that she would not be returning to her homeland.

Several years passed and Zale was born into a world of elves. As Zale grew into boyhood, Saaell had to suffer from watching his beloved wife age rapidly and then finally bury her.

Saaell was so struck with grief over the loss of his beloved wife that he could no longer stand the reminder of his wife in the eyes of his son. Saaell began to stay away longer on his trips to trade goods. As Zale reached his adolecent years Saaell realized that he was going to not only watch his wife age and die quickly before his eyes, but that he would also see his son fade away as well. Once Zale began to show some signs of skill with magic Saaell decided that he would send him away to train with a master. Through his travels Saaell had heard of a master of oddly peculiar latitude with the students that he has chosen to train.

After being shipped to Coeranys to train, Zale quickly delved into his instruction on magic and the laws of the land. Zale was happy to do whatever Colgrevance asked and soon began to see him as a father-like figure. He still held a place for his father in his heart but the man’s memory was fading into more of a symbol of a man that had created him, rather than an actual father. Colgrevance was at least an uncle in Zale’s mind, but was always too fearful to allow anyone to know that he had grown an attachment to him. This was due to the fear that the simple knowledge of his feelings being known would turn him away from him and leave him completely alone.
