Seian

A late addition main character on the Realms of Ukodor.

## Seian Sargt

*Seian with his companion Kiabil*

Seian Sargt exists for one purpose, to protect those in need who cannot protect themselves. He has devoted almost his entire life to this creed, bound by a sacred oath of devotion to Athorra, the dragon guardian of life and protection. Eager to earn her favor, Seian has been dedicated to becoming an icon of those tenants, to protect and to serve the public.

Seian never knew his father. He was gone long before he came into this world. His mother, Kornari, raised him in a small cottage near the Cergan Gorge just south of the Goblin Hills. He was often a trouble maker. Being larger than those most of the other younglings his age, he was often able to assert dominance with little issue. He was often known for his short temper and outbursts. There weren't many of his kind around which made companionship difficult to say the least. It was a lonely life.

When he was around 15, he stumbled upon a group of goblins tormenting a small golden pseudodragon. Seian easily startled the miscreants away and tended to the wounded creature. Taking pity, he brought the little thing home with him. He tended to it's wounds, fed it, and brought it back. He felt strangely connected to the creature. Even his mother was surprised at Seian's devotion to caring for this creature, rarely leaving it's side until it regained it's strength. He asked the psuedodragon for it's name. She responded not with words, but with feeling, a strong feeling of bond...connection...companionship. With a smile, Seian spoke aloud "Kiabil" draconic for "Companion". She took well to that name and it stuck ever since. From then on, Kiabil would rarely leave Seian's side.

His newfound companion gave Seian in that moment more than she would ever realize. A sense of purpose. A sense of fulfillment. He had the power to make changes in the world. As such, he devoted himself to being a protector. One who would stand up to those who preyed upon the weak. He said his goodbyes to his mother and set out on a pilgrimage to learn how he could accomplish this goal, promising to make her proud.

He spent 20 year on the road. He almost lost hope until he discovered the Holy Order of Athorra , the dragon deity of Life and Protection. He could not have asked for a more perfect symbol of his newfound creed. He eagerly joined the order and climbed the ranks. He worked small jobs, spreading his faith through his work and protecting small villages from raiders and plunderers. 10 years later he earned the rank of Paladin, ceremoniously swearing an oath of devotion to Athorra and her teachings. Proud of his accomplishment, he returned home to share the good news with his mother.

Upon returning home, he beheld a strange sight. His mother was nowhere to be found and his home seemed abandoned. No signs of struggle, just an unusual absence. Seian frantically went to local villages and towns asking if there was any news of what could have happened to her. No one knew a thing. She just one day vanished. Seian eventually gave up the search after 6 months of nothing but dead ends. His mother was gone.

With nothing left to return home to, Seian devoted himself to his creed, to be a champion for those in need. He spent the next 200 years doing just that.

Until one night, he awoke from a deep sleep, a voice in his head. Athorra spoke to him directly, for the first time. Her voice was beautiful...magestic...powerful...

"Seek out the Lightbringer's. They are on a quest to quash the ultimate evil. Guide and protect them on their journey. This shall be your new purpose."

And with that she vanished. After a moment a shock, Seian let out a hearty laugh and his signature grin.

"This is the moment we've been waiting for, Kiabil!" he said elatedly as he packed his few belongings and picked up his companion. "Lightbringers, here we come!"
