Bolast Thuarkend

## Overview

Bolast hails from the Numrosir heartlands to the northeast of Cinderguard. Being born into a noble family, he has the skills to match with knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, statesmanship and survivalism from his time spent deep in the forests after fleeing his home. Here in Cinderguard, he hopes to restart his life in a familiar cold wasteland.

## Pre-Arrival

Bolast Thuarkend was born in Castle Fesimir within the Numrosir Crownlands to the lord and lady of the keep, Giron and Naarsa Thuarkend. Numrosir was a poor realm and frequented by many Wodari raids which plagued the land in famine and disease. The holding of Fesimir was no different and Bolast's lowly noble parents struggled to sustain the five children family. Bolast was the second youngest, made yonguest by the death of his younger sibling to the Blue Virus. Bolast, however, was different than the rest of his kin as he was blessed by the gods with green eyes, which is rare and hints to prophesy of greatness in future life. Because of this, Giron gave Bolast the best noble education he could with rigorous combat exercises with his Fseirs and detailed general education along with statesmanship. At the age of 15, Bolast was training in the courtyard when he heard a great commotion from inside the keep. Walking inside, he found his father lying in a pool of his own blood with two hooded figures looming over him with swords brandished. Bolast used his own blade to cut down the assassins and rushed to his father. With his dying breath, Giron told his son that he was no longer safe in Fesimir and even Numrosir and that he must flee the land. With a tear, Bolast mounted his horse and rode out of the keep into the wilderness. In the deep woods of Turvurmon, Bolast would lead a life alone for 7 long years learning important hunting and craftsmanship skills. He refused to leave his homeland, but with another attack at his cabin which he though safe enough from assassins, Bolast was forced to heed his father's wish and caught a boat headed to Cinderguard.

## Post-Arrival

At 21, Bolast landed on a frigid tundra landscape. With little food to his name, he was forced to scavenge the surrounding beach and rocky hills he found himself on. To no avail, he headed north deep into the woods where he was finally able to find edible vegetation and scarce fauna. There, in the woods, he founded his new settlement, Stormfjorden. It would soon become home to other refugees of the chaos in Numrosir and other realms beyond. Shortly after founding the small hamlet, Bolast would stumble upon Hårgeir Rødklor of Kirkelund who came from Valkera which neighbored Numrosir.
