History

Azkaban is possibly best described as a Celestial Elf, though his childhood was spent among the Forest Elves in and around Leth Dariel. Rescued by clergy as an infant, Azkaban knows little of his past other than his parents were travelling with a group heading North from the Dragon Spine mountains. Despite living away from there for some time, Azkaban feels oddly at home in Shard and it's surrounds and travels often in an attempt to reconnect with his lost past.

Once he came of age, Azkaban was drawn to the bustle of the Crossings. Upon arriving, he was taken in by a then rag-tag bunch of Elves of many professions, calling themselves the Brothers Fae. Thankful for the support given to him, Azkaban felt a great desire to work in a role where he could serve and support others, and contribute to the rich fabric of city life. Azkaban found his sense of belonging in the then recently reformed Guild of Bards.

When the Brothers Fae migrated North in search of new challenges, Azkaban was torn. He eventually moved with his bothers to Therengia, where he pledged fealty to the Baron and joined his mounted militia, the Therengia Cavalry with his brother Wodie. In times of unrest Azkaban bolsters the brigade of Dragoons with his pipes and drums.

Nowadays, Azkaban has made his home in Therenborough, and continues in his personal quest to contribute to the fabric of Elanthia, while keeping his scimitar ever ready to defend his Guild and province, should the need arise.

For the faith, for the Fae, for the Guild of Bards, and for the Provence of Therengia.
