I was born in the month of Alturiak, in the Year of the Morningstar. My father was and still is a minor merchant in the port city of Saerloon, and my mother has always remained at home to care for me and my two sisters. I first fell in love with books after my mother taught me to read, and I started to read some of the books my father brought home. In time, my reading interests strayed more and more toward magic, and sorcery, and the mysteries of the divine, and at the age of 14, I went to live and study at the great Temple of Azuth in the city of Selgaunt. I have spent the past six years learning from the priests and wizards at the Temple, studying the ancient tomes and scrolls stored there and in the vast city library. But I grow restless; there is only so much to be learned here, and I know that the time has come to leave the temple, and to continue my education in the world outside. I do not know where my path will lead, or what Azuth has in store for me. But I do believe that I have much more to learn, and I am anxious to begin.
