Hedge Wizard Karasu of the Moors (#5386)

Owner: 0x61Ff…7b9C

The Lore of Hedge Wizard Karasu of the Moors

An abomination of a child condemned to death by her Samurai parents on the day she was brought into the world. Life was not given freely to the Red Wizard Karasu.

Affan, the Moorish midwife who brought the child into the world, could not bear the burden of her death and smuggled the newborn onto a spice ship bound for the Iberian Peninsula. The journey was arduous, but the baby survived and was placed into the care of a secret sect of Berber Wizards who took the child under their guard. The eldest of the order Ihtizaz believed her to be the reincarnation of the three-legged crow that the ancient prophecy spoke of. He named her Karasu, the divine messenger.

The girl grew, as did her power, but the age that she was born into was filled with war and death. The army of the undead led by the Evil Wizard Ozohr ravaged the lands and left chaos and despair in their wake. Her Berber protectors took her deep into the wilderness and hid her away from the world, for fear she would be discovered by the forces of evil that they vowed to destroy. Her only reprise from the isolation she felt at such a young age was a stray dog she named Zubiya who became her confidant and best friend.

On her 16th birthday Karasu woke to chaos. Fire engulfed her world as screams for mercy filled her ears, the undead had finally come for her. She watched in horror as the flames engulfed everything and everyone, she had ever held dear but magically the flames could not reach her... She did not feel the heat of the inferno on her skin, nor did she fear it, she simply held Zubiya tightly in her arms as her world crumbled around her, and walked through the flames toward her destiny...
