Mihret

## Biography

Mihret was born the only child of a minor noble in Hamala, though his ancestry goes back to the Empire of Entariush quite clearly. While others sought to grow to a higher position with political intrigue and magic, His family rose to it's relatively small power via knighthood. His father is a member of the **Ritter von Sankt Friedwart**, and Mihret both planned and was expected to so the same. Until he was seven Mihret studied academically, learning how to read/write and count, as well as accompany his family on trips to the religious capital of Ekxuma in Entariush. His favorite past-time when not being taught manners and whatnot were the tales of their monster hunting order, no matter how romanticized they could be. Tales of beasts, ogres, and even dragons falling to their great hunts; it was awe inspiring.

When the day eventually did come that he turned seven, he became a page to another lord, leaving his home in the countryside for one closer to the capital. Life as a page wasn't easy; running messages, serving, cleaning clothing and weapons, and learning the basics of combat. Might be required to arm or dress his lord in his armor, But the young page never complained, even when other local pages would complain as they waited outside meetings. In fact, his peers assumed him mute for the longest of times before realizing their mistake. In exchange for his service, his lord trained him in various forms of combat, hunting/hawking, and the paces of horse-riding. For his ceremony of becoming a squire at fourteen, Mihret had the honor of leading the hunt of a dangerous beast with his lord and some others. While they were successful, it left Mihret injured and needing rest for several days. When he recovered and awoke, he found his body quite cold despite the weather, frost building on his hand and grip whenever he held his sword. His years as a Squire went by quite fast; His duties ramped up exponentially, but he was responsible of much more and went along for many missions with the order. Assigned to a knight, he served as their personal attendant, performing anything they should ask for in exchange for their tutelage and training. Their code of chivalry was a common subject, but never more so than swordsmanship and athleticism. Marksmanship he never could pick up on; but he made up for it in spades with a sword or lance. Danger was common, but not something he was even *allowed* to shy from.

At twenty-one, Mihret had done it. He had become a fully fledged knight, and a member of his father's order at that. After he was knighted, Mihret had a selfish request. Unusual for such a reserved boy, they obliged when he asked to travel to Entariush in the name of their religion. Travelling from Lykos by sea, he visited the city and worshipped their god dutifully. It was his duty after all. He did not expect, however, to run into a man by the name of Amani al-Kassam. While initially weary, in the end they agreed to travel together. Fast companions, Mihret invited Amani back to Hamala, where once they returned Mihret sought another request of his order with his newfound self-thinking. He sought to travel with Amani, slaying monsters and beasts as their creed, whilst aiding his companion's ultimate goal. His ultimate goal? Slaying a fearsome dragon. After a few days they accepted his mission, allowing him to set out into the lands with his ally.

The two traveled together for three years, doing quite well for themselves until they reached a roadblock with a beast terrorizing the trade between villages. Despite their efforts they could not find the beast in such unfamiliar and sprawling lands, and got lost. They eventually found themselves upon Hazel's hometown and with some convincing, managed to procure their aid. The ended the beast handedly with his inclusion, and the trio has become inseparable ever since.

### Knights of St. Friedwart

**Ritter von Sankt Friedwart** (Knights of St. Friedwart), followers of the first grandmaster, St. Friedwart, previously a Knight of the Purple Feather, who slayed several beasts to save Princess Gilberta after she had been kidnapped by the malicious dragon known Schwarzekala. He killed the corrupted dragon and returned the princess back to her father, the Kaiser. At this point the Knights of St. Friedwart are mostly dedicated to fight bandit Cobolds, bandit Goblins, bandit Orcs and savage Ogres, but still mighty warriors. Mihret was inducted into this monster slaying order once he became a page, and remains faithful to it's creeds of chivalry and duty to eliminate beasts. Should he complete his hunt and mission, Members of his order have stated that he could gain much acclaim. Mihret isn't interested; he does it because that's what the order was founded to do.
