## The Chronicles of Uwyn

The Chronicles of Uwyn are a set of books written by Uwyn in 3rd person in his spare time about his past.

### Chapter I - Cavikali

Uwyn's story begins in a small forgotten town called Cavikali, a town which he lived on the outskirts of, in a small tower on a hill. Uwyn was the only known individual living in the town to be trained in the usage of magical arts and potion brewing, he spent his time helping the townsfolk, whether it be in constructing new buildings, lighting fires where flint was few, or what he was most known for, saving lives. Uwyn had a great power to heal all who deserved his healing, it was for this that he was known around the town as a hero, a protector of the people, his generosity and kindness did not go unnoticed by the town's Mayor. Uwyn was granted a prestigious title, the town's Grand Wizard. He would continue his work with the blessing of the Mayor, no longer did he require permission to do things out of his jurisdiction, for now he, was the law.

Trusted by all, loved, by all.

One night in Uwyn's bed chamber, he was overcome by a freezing chill, surging through his body, pulling at his very soul. Followed by nautiousness, he rushed to the bathroom, expecting to vomit. As he knelt down to the toilet, he could hear deep, raspy breathing behind him, and intruder, Uwyn froze and calmly asked as to not alarm the intruder

"Who are you?"

"I'm you" The man replied

Uwyn was swiftly knocked unconscious.

When Uwyn awoke, he was back in his bed. He shot out of his bed scanning his surroundings, scouting for the intruder, only to find nothing out of place, his belongings unscathed. Uwyn was relieved "Oh.. it was only a bad dream" Uwyn goes to his balcony for fresh air, only to find the Mayor and the town's guard, Uwyn quickly dresses and steps outside

"My lord, how can I be of service?" Uwyn asks curiously.

As Uwyn gets closer, the guards in the front raise their spears and press the tips lightly against Uwyn's chest

"Mayor what is the meaning of this?"

"Murderer!" Shouts one of the guards in the rear, Uwyn squints his eyes, confused.

"Uwyn, you know me as a merciful man, I thought I knew who and what you were, but today the town awoke and I was proven wrong" The Mayor says, struggling to gather his words in shock, with wet eyes trying to remain strong in front of his men, yet broken at how his best friend could betray him.

"Mayor what has happened?"

"Don't think me stupid, Uwyn! I placed all of my trust upon ou and when we awoke today, we found 5 people dead in their beds! With your potions on their bedside, empty, the contents lathered upon their lips. Pack your bags quickly and be gone before I change my mind about banishing you. Uwyn, if it were not for the good you have done for this village you would be mounted on a pike!"

Uwyn quickly packed his things in his bottomless bag and exits back outside his front door.

"I know you cannot believe me My lord, but I love these people and I would never do any of these awful things you accuse me of. Farewell.." Uwyn travels east, over the hill away from Cavikali. He takes one look back to remember every aaspect of the town he was once loved in. He turns away and moves on before the tears overwhelm him, or the Mayor changed his mind about letting him go.

Uwyn's mind is racing, his confusion had been overwhelmed by sadness, his and 5 other lives, taken away in an instant, but by who? Or.. What? No matter what, it's in the past now. And Uwyn's long journey to find a new home, begins...

### Chapter II - Journey East

(50 years after the events of Chapter 1) Uwyn has went the last 50 years travelling east, or so he thinks so, but didn't he fall in to that same bush last week? His delusions have grown fluent throughout his being, pointing his sword around every tree, stumbling over every branch. He has grown weak and frail, having to survive off of berries and whatever bugs he could forage whilst keeping on the move. The flame of Uwyn's desperate, neverending search for a new home has flickered for what feels like the last time. He falls to his knees and cannot find the strength to rise.

Wizards are very resilient beings, they can withstand the harshest of circumstances for years upon years and still somehow make it out alive, but this is getting serious. He falls flat on his stomach, with laboured breath, he casts one last spell, a spell like a periscope to cast his mind in to the sky, past the canopy of the forest, he scans his surroundings, searching for anything, a sign to keep going, an unnatural formation in the distance, anything. That's when he spots it, a tree, felled in the distance, somewhat 2 miles away. He prepares himself with deep breaths to rise back on to his feet and tries once, fails and falls back on to his face. On his third attempt, he gets up and falls back but is caught by a tree mid fall, he thanks the tree for helping him up and starts back on his journey. Tree to tree, rock to rock, he limps on, hoping for anything to help him "a river, a berry bush, a bloody field of wheat for god's sake!" and that's exactly when it happens, a field! Not of wheat but potatoes! He laughs "Haha, you've got to be kidding me, I know what this is, It's like that cabin I saw last week that ended up being a bear's cave, you're tricking me! But.. the upside is just.. too good" He kneels down stealthily hoping not to alarm any nearby farmer with a crossbow and digs up a handful of baby potatoes, he wipes them off and eats them raw, he's that desperate for a feast.

Uwyn hasn't experienced real, grown food for the last 15 years since he stumbled upon wild carrots. He starts tearing up potatoes from the ground, shoving them in to his mouth, not even washing them anymore "Hey! What just do ya think you're doin! Get out of here you vermin!" The farmer is old and slow, surely I've got lots of time to grab an armful and run! Uwyn thinks to himself and realises his idea, he grabs as much as he can carry and runs back in to the wood. The farmer quickly gives up and starts to return to his cabin "Just a small part of the harvest I guess, looked like he needed it more than me anyway" Says the farmer, justifying his failure to protect his field.

Uwyns Navigates around the farm and continues on his way with a smile on his face, a sight we thought confined to the past! Uwyn then stumbles upon a large puddle, he cups the water and blesses it pure. Uwyn could spend the whole day at this puddle, slurping it dry, but an overwhelming feeling of discomfort comes upon him, a feeling telling him to fly, to never stop for anything else until he feels he is safe. Uwyn listens to it. He grabs a handful of his potatoes and leaves, replenished, yet haunted, by a feeling of something always watching him. It is a familiar feeling, from somewhere of which he does not know, yet it does not show itself to him. Uwyn now nearing the end of his journey, starts to hear what sounds like, could it be? People? Uwyn once again calls upon his spell of sky sight, hoping to get an idea of just what exactly he is hearing. It's just what it sounded like, a group of settlers! Settling! He knows right when he sees them

"I'm saved! If this land is good enough for them to live, then it's good enough for me!" Uwyn, reaching in to his bag, grabs a pencil and paper and starts to write a note.

"I will appear when the time is right, but for now, ink shall have to do - Uwyn" Later letters would show who he is, what he does, what he's done. Many have seen him, travelling the streets at night, slowly putting together his additions to the settlement, trying his very best to help from a far, not letting them get close to him, distance-wise and socially.

**For whomever got close to him in the past, was taken away.**

## Cavikali

Cavikali was a small grassland town that Uwyn used to call home, located far to the west of the explored world. Lost to the past, Uwyn has no idea what has occured in the town within the last 100 years since his departure. We can only assume that without Uwyn's magic and nurture, the town had plummeted in to darkness.

### The Venomous Rest

A disastrous string of 5 murders from poison during a dark night when the town slept. On the scene of every death laid, on each bedside table, a glass bottle engraved with Uwyn's Sigil on the bottom, the contents forced on to each sleeping victim. The town awoke in the morning not to a crowing rooster, but to weeping families.

With the evidence gathered from the scene there was only one suspect, Uwyn the Grand Wizard. The Mayor accompanied with his town guard rushed to his tower on the hill. By the mercy of The Mayor, he was banished never to return to Cavikali.

## The Wizard on The Mountain

Shortly after the founding of The Valley, Uwyn, in his travels to find a new land to call home, stumbled upon the foundations of what would at some point be a flourishing capital to an expansive realm, Uwyn noticed it's potential and decided to create his home a considerable distance away from the settlement, so far that he could not be found, but not so far that he couldn't be found if he wanted to be.

The creation of The Mountain almost took everything Uwyn had, to conjur a mountain taller than the clouds out of thin air is not a sight soon forgotten. On top of this Mountain, Uwyn constructed his towers, of which he would spend his time in further honing his abilities and preparing to reveal himself to the populace.

At the moment the only person to ever speak to Uwyn, which occured at his potion shop, died soon after, as Uwyn placed a curse upon himself that meant that he must never let anyone speak to him otherwise they would perish. He did this to himself because of the guilt he feels with what happened on The Venomous Rest, Uwyn fears that everyone he knows would always suffer the same fate and curses himself to never know anyone.

## The Viking Town of Uwynsby

Uwynsby is Uwyn's town of Viking settlers that he has nurtured and protected and helped form a considerable, flourishing settlement, some might say that the settlement might exist to replace what he lost in Cavikali..

### The One Month Raid

A tragic Pillager raid on Uwynsby during the absence of its wizard protector. The raid would last a whole month and would result in the death of 7 Villagers, all are buried at the One Month Raid memorial site across the path from the Uwynsby library.

## The Dwarven Mountain City of Gevik Helgot

The wandering Dwarves appeared at the foot of Uwyn's mountain in their hundreds, merely passing by, travelling to wherever the wind should blow them.

Uwyn, watching from the top of The Mountain, felt sympathy towards these Dwarves, their story reminded him of his, how he traveled without a destination for years, slowly losing his hope that he might find a new home. Uwyn flew down from his mountain and greeted the leader of the Dwarves, a Dwarf lord named Bardin. after a short conversation Uwyn invited them to camp at the foot of The Mountain for the night. Uwyn supplied them with carts of food, weapons and tools, medicine, and several other essential commodities of which he was not lucky enough to have himself during his long journey.

Uwyn jumped back up to his mountain and went to sleep, though his night was sleepless, he was consumed with the guilt of sending them back on their way, even though he had granted them the supplies to live for a long time longer, he still wondered whether they would find a home, or whether their supplies would dwindle and they would end up back in the same situation they were when he found them.

In the morning, Uwyn flew back down his mountain, Bardin thanked him for his kindness and turned to leave, back on to the path to nowhere. Uwyn stopped him before he could leave and offered for them to live here, Under The Mountain, an offer which 'TBD' would have been a fool to turn down.

The Gates of Gevik Helgot, as the Dwarves had named it, or 'Magic Hall', were conjured in to existance by Uwyn as the Dwarves watched on at his endless power. They watched as the stone was molded in to Uwyn's image of the might of the Dwarves. The gate depicts a Dwarven Lord, wielding dual pickaxes. The pickaxes were lit alight to act as the braziers of the gates, this symbolises the Dwarves burning passion to mine and acts as the symbol of the Dwarves occupation of the halls.

### The Beast in the Mountain

Whilst the Dwarves of Gevik Helgot were expanding their city, mining out new rooms and tunnels, they stumbled upon a chamber, a nest to a **Giant Geckotoa** nest. The Geckotoa rushed out of the nest, trampling Dwarves wherever they could be found, screams echoed through the chambers, warning others to geet indoors and hide. The Dwarven guards jumped the Geckotoa in attempt to wrangle it down but they were no match, the Geckotoa just shook them off and struck them with its tail. Bardin rushed up the mountain to employ the help of Uwyn. Uwyn was quick to respond and flew down from his mountain to face the Beast.

As Uwyn entered the gates, not a sould could be found, nor heard. Suddenly, as he entered deeper in to the chambers, the beast pounced on him from the wall. Uwyn quickly reacted and cast a forward facing shield from his staff, stopping the Beast in his tracks. The Beast bit, jumped on and whacked at the shield as Uwyn slid back with every attempt, The Beast was strong but not strong enough. Uwyn cast a spell on The Beast, pulling material from the mountain down on the beast, entwining its legs and tail in rock and earth. The Beast was defeated, unharmed.

As the dwarves moved in to finish off the defenseless beast, Uwyn cast shout and yelled **"YIELD MY FRIENDS! The Beast is mine to handle."**. Uwyn saw something in the Geckotoa's eyes, he could feel its emotions, that it was scared and only protecting itself. Uwyn placed his hand on the Geckotoa's head as it closed its eyes in comfort, "I shall protect you, you beautiful beast". Uwyn would go on to tame the Giant Geckotoa and grant it a name in the Dwarven tongue, **'Ungvlik'** (Beast in the Mountain). The beast now resides in the Dwarven City as a protector whom the people have grown to forgive and even, love.
