## History

### Backstory

*Born to the royal family of the northern kingdom of Nancledra, Finn was naturally gifted with sorcerous abilities. Growing up, he was trained primarily under the tutelage of his uncle Remus, who would tell Finn spectacular stories of his days as an adventurer. According to his uncle, he had done it all; classic dungeon crawls, hunting dragons and beholders, trekking through the Underdark, battling demons and devils in the Nine Hells; Finn was always astonished to hear his uncle's adventures, sometimes even reenacting scenes with his siblings with what they had around the castle.*

*As Finn grew older, he began imagining what his life would be like if he was an adventurer. To that end, he began making a bucket list of sorts of things his uncle had accomplished before retirement so that he could live his life to the fullest. Finn would also go out at night and visit the citizens of Nancledra so he could get an idea of what being a commoner amongst was like, as he lived a largely sheltered life, even going so far as to hide his identity as to avoid unwanted attention. This eventually became a hobby of his, and he would go with some of his siblings from time to time to observe and mingle.*

*One night, Finn and two of his brothers, Fendril and Oliver, went out in disguise to a crowded bar in the Blacktop District of Nancledra. He overheard a few wasted men disruptively laughing and denigrating the royal family. As much as he and his brothers tried to ignore them, he eventually grew fed up as he started vigorously defending his family and slandering the men, unintentionally attracting more attention than the men were in the first place. The confrontation eventually became physical until Finn's rage took over, and his outburst led to an accidental magical explosion within the pub.*

*No one was killed, but about a dozen people were injured, most grievously the burly drunks. Worried for their son, Finn's parents, the king and queen of Nancledra, worked with law enforcement to downplay the accident. This did nothing to ease Finn's mind and he spent the next few days self-locked in his bedroom. He decided to leave town so he wouldn't be a danger to anyone else. Late one night, Finn packed his things and used his knowledge of the castle and the grounds to seamlessly escape; however, he was caught by his uncle, who had figured Finn would try something like this. They had a brief discussion, during which Remus tried to convince Finn to change his mind, but seeing as Finn remained resolute in his decision to leave, he gave him a souvenir, his ring that he had used in his adventuring days as his arcane focus. They said their goodbyes as Finn left to start a new life as an adventurer.*
