## History

### The Novice

Didric served as one of the towns guards in the village of Pelt . He was on Pelt's ramparts when Fletcher returned from his hunting trip. Despite him making it back before the nine O'clock bell, Didric refused to let him in unless he gave his the elk he killed. After a brief argument, Fletcher reluctantly handed over the head of the elk, only for Didric to reveal that he was not on guard duty and that the real guard was in the restroom.

The next day when a convoy of traders arrived in Pelt, Didric was instructed by his father Caspar to tend to the Pinkertons horses while he discussed with them their plans for Pelt. Didric would later be present when a trader/soldier named Rotherham told his story to how he was able to procure James Baker's summoner book. He questioned his story and managed to sway the crowds against him. He demanded the book and offered a meager four shillings as payment.

Later during the evening Didric would approach Fletcher and Rotherham with a fellow guard, Jakov and demanded the book. When Rotherham refused, the situation escalated into a bar-fight which they all agreed not to use blades. When Fletcher gained the upper hand against Didric, he attempted to attack him with a hidden dagger. Though Rotterham was able to warn Fletcher who disarmed and defeated him.

The next evening, Didric, Jakov, and Calista would follow Fletcher to the graveyard as he attempted to use James Baker's summoning book. He successfully summons a demon just as the trio cornered him inside a mausoleum. There Didric explained his father's plans to call in every debt the people of Pelt owe him in order to buy out the town and convert it to into a prison. Just as he was about to kill him. The Demon Fletcher summoned leaped on Didric and repeatedly scratched his face before burning him with a fireball.

Later his father would place a bounty for Fletcher's capture.

### The Inquisition

Due to the injury, he sustained from Ignatius's fireball, Didric would gain the ability to summon. Later his father would go through with his plan to take over Pelt and most of the villager's property would be taken over and turned into a prison. He would be raised into nobility after this and be given a Mite and Arach and allowed to attend Vocans Academy.

During Fletcher's trial for allegedly attempting to murder him, Didric, Calista, and Jakov would create a false story at how Fletcher intentionally summoned Ignatius and ordered him to attack them. However, this story would be disproved by Arcturus and the charges against Fletcher would be dropped.

After the trial, Didric would return to Vocans academy for the final exam. During the tournament, he would be matched up against the Dwarf Cress Freyja who defeated him in their match.

### The Battlemage

After Fletcher's escape from the ether, Didric is officially recognised as a noble during a marquee party. When all out war breaks out, Didric ignores Fletcher's pleas for help to defend Raleighshire. After the war, with the orcs defeated, Didric and his father are heavily fined and left penniless. They are forced to depart for Swazulu.
