Joe Dalton

Recruit

Growing up in different circles Corsari and Joe did not meet often. Corsari was a scholar of the arcane, whimsical as the elements he wields. Joe was raised a warrior, often seen in the whimpering pony tavern.

However as a rite of passage both would at the age of 12 be paired up to defeat one of the wolves in the area. This was common for all villages surounding the abyss, as they are breeding grounds for fighters in the struggle.

Not knowing any better they fought the first wolf they saw, without realising it was the pack leader.
Their strength still weak, they were nearly overcome by the beast, however through their combined strengths they managed to bring it down. Their small bodies bloodied and dirtied, but their hearts beaming with pride as they returned to their village.

But as they turned to face the village again they saw black smoke rise above the trees, they ran to their homes to find it in ruins, as a legion of Balaur had made their village a pool of blood. The two ran as some remaining Balaur gave chase, knowing their fate if they were caught they ran until Corsari, who was used to life as a scholar could not go on.

The two decided to make a last stand. However their feeble bodies were no match for the strong draconic Balaur, and just as the Balaur would ready for the kill, a divine light erupted from the two. The divine powers inate to the elyos erupted from the two as their bodies reacted to the iminent threat of death, the Balaur were caught in the blast and left no trace as the light dimmed.

Several days later the two woke up, not knowing what had passed, they were found by humans and raised by them.

Now sharing their lives as brothers, not knowing of their past they both grew up, not knowing where their inate talents for combat came from, they secretely trained together at night.
