Mizan

Within the Western region was a small town bordering very close to the Northern territories. The town was called Pipernaum, a small peasant village of mainly farmers and craftsman. Mizan was born within the town to a local shopkeeper and his wife. Their only child came to them late in life. A time for the town full of sorrow and distress. Many residents have left for fear of the attacks from the North. On one such attack death was brought to many of the inhabitants. For the shopkeeper and his wife this was that day.

News of the raids came to a monastery some distance from the town. The monks of the Silverwing Monastery have been practicing the art and traditions called Ki. Mastering this energy to flow through their bodies, they use this knowledge in the defense of others.

Hearing of the news, the monks were too late to make a difference, just arriving in time to drive the marauders off before they completely annihilated the town.

The monks stayed behind to help the survivors with rebuilding their lives. During this endeavor they found a forsaken child lying helplessly next to two lifeless bodies. Feeling it was their obligation, they took the child in, raising it as if it were their own. Teaching the knowledge and traditions that they have practiced for centuries.

Once the child aged into adulthood, a marvel and artist with the Ki they have raised, Mizan though had urges and feelings of the outside world. Wishing to see more, they let Mizan go on a journey of self-actualization and enlightenment.

Mizan found a path aboard a shipping vessel as a seaman ascending the ranks to deck cadet in charge of navigation.

While docking in Gutterton their ship became under attack. The ship was destroyed and most of the crew murdered. Mizan is now stranded, alone in an unknown region, and seeking revenge for fallen shipmates. Their memory will be honored.
