The Lore of Battle Mage Armstrong of the Havens

Battle Mage Armstrong of the Havens was born in the Battle Mage mountains to a family having a long history of gallantry and noble quests. Though he did not himself take part in these quests of old, as his family had finally settled in the mountains when he was born, he was captivated by the stories told to him as a child. Though his parents forbade him, he lived in hope that he may one day leave the mountains to fulfil his desires to have his own thrilling adventures.

As fate would have it, he got his wish but not in the way he would have ever wanted. One dark and stormy night his home was attacked by an evil and powerful witch who was hungry for the souls of his parents, a recompense for past deeds. Though his parents had survived many dangerous encounters they could not prevent the green flames from consuming their home. Following this devastating attack only battle mage Armstrong and his older brother survived, though his brother was left badly injured due to bravely shielding his brother from the flames.

The pair only managed to escape the sustained attack as Armstrong noticed that a black cat was walking through the home seemingly unscathed by the flame. He took hold of the cat and suddenly he too was unable to feel the heat and evil of the previously perilous flames. Hence, he was able to drag his brother from the site and flee, but the black cat remained with him.

As his brother’s injuries left him not able to work it fell to young Armstrong to fend for them both. To support them he had to travel far from the Battle Mage mountains around the world on many quests both noble and corrupt. Though his heart was good he had to provide sustenance for his brother, this meant he had to accept coin for service whatever the nature of it may be. Over the years this life of servitude and constant fight carved Battle Mage Armstrong into a weathered and wise guide throughout all the lands and a formidable, strong wizard.

Though many say the strength of his magic and ability to guide through dangerous lands is due to a mysterious candle he carries in the dark. It is known to only a few that the true source of his ability is due to the black cat that has stayed by his side through all time since that treacherous evening in which his life changed forever.
