Vrolock Tsepesh

My name is Vrolok Tsepesh. I come from a long line of nobility in the Carpathian Mountains. My life in Romania had always been a pleasant one. I lived in a small town with my family. Then a sad day came along when my nephew, Scorpio, had done all he could in our humble home and was in need of more fulfillments. He left early that morning on a ship heading to the west. I did have great comfort in the fact that my brother, Drakan, and my niece, Strioca, where still with me. How I loved our days together.

One day we received word from Scorpio. He told of a new and wonderful land, Britannia, where he had met a wonderful group of folks. They were the members of Queen Shieba�s Alliance. He told amazing stories of monsters and treasure. He wanted us to join him. As much as I loved my family, I long ago decided to live out the rest of my life here in the mountains. At the time I thought there was no way this aging wizard could make such a long voyage. So, once again I went through the pain of seeing my loved ones leave me.

The next few years were lonely and painful. I had fallen into such a depression that I had all but forgotten the incantations needed to be a wizard. This was about the time when I heard the news that I thought would kill me. My brother, while chopping wood, was killed by something called an ettin. In all the past tragedies of my life this was the worst. My niece and nephew pleaded to me that I join them. I could not deny them this request. I left for Britannia the next morn.

Since arriving in this great land, I have had many experiences. Including my most important, avenging my brothers death. Although quite old, living with my brother�s children has rejuvenated me, more than I ever could have hoped. Being with them and the great friends I have made here in the Alliance has made my life worth living again. I now have my new studies in the ways of an animal tamer, in hopes of one day riding a black mare with a dragon on each side. My only regret is that I did not come here earlier. But I am not one to dwell on regrets.
