The Lore of Spellsinger Uvlius of the Desert
Spellsinger Uvlius of the Desert is an ice cream master. That's not his profession, it's who he is...the art of ice cream making is in his very blood spanning numerous generations. His family founded one of the most prestigious ice cream conglomerates in the Forgotten Runes. Their secret recipe for creating ice cream that never melts, even under the scorching desert sun, is one that countless competitors have tried to imitate to no avail. It is certain that magic is involved, but just that knowledge is not enough, because some of the most talented wizards in all the lands were hired to crack the secret of the nevermelting ice cream, yet none have succeeded.
Uvlius's ice cream magic is second to none, but his deep dark secret is that he doesn't want to be an ice cream maker. He wants to travel the world, join the circus, fall in love. Instead, he just drives around the desert every day in the searing heat, blaring that grating jingle from his ice cream truck 24/7, selling his frozen desserts to children. Yes, he gets paid the equivalent of a king's ransom by the end of every shift given how hugely popular his family's recipe is, but it isn't about the money. It isn't even about the ice cream. For once in his life, Uvlius wants to try making something besides ice cream (he tentatively pitched the idea of frozen yogurt at last year’s Thanksgiving dinner and almost got disowned by his whole family).
But he doesn't care, Uvlius made up his mind that he wants out of the ice cream business. The problem is, that is much more difficult than it sounds. Those outside the industry are usually not aware, but the magical ice cream trade is more similar to organized crime than anything else. His family has a lot of enemies who would stop at nothing to secure a competitive advantage (even commit murder!), and Uvlius knows that if he leaves the territory of his clan, it'll take probably 10 minutes before a competitor kidnaps him to torture the secrets of nevermelting ice cream out of him. Unfortunately, he has low pain tolerance and would not hold up well under torture, the most painful thing he's ever experienced so far was passing a kidney stone (too much calcium from dairy, his doctor said), and Uvlius thought that experience would kill him. So for now, he is stuck...but his heart yearns for freedom, and one day, he hopes he will be able to pursue his own dreams rather than devoting his life to maintaining the family legacy.
