Válizör [Shaman]

Válizör [Shaman] | It was a raging stormy night, trees were roaring as if blowing horns. It was almost like nature was answering to the sacred ritual which was conducted in the depths of Arborak. Someone was clearly performing the greatest summoning in the history of magic. It's Völva, she is being called out.

That night in the town at a completely random house, a mother was ready to give birth. In spite of the storm, there were people who gathered around to witness the birth of that child. Most of them were faceless like they were in some kind of spell of fear.

On the other hand, it was almost time for the summoning ritual to come to an end, and finally, watch the greatest creator of magic there has been. She was here, Völva the first-ever witch having known to perform the seidr magic. “It's a boy, it's a boy!” saying these words, comes a woman running from the room where mother was lying in pain and happiness looking at the boy. They wrap him around with a cloth and bring him out for everyone to look at.

It was as expected, the child’s birth was not normal. He was definitely affected by the summoning. The mark of seidr magic was part of the boy now. He was born with a birthmark on his chest. That's when everyone understood he was going to be the greatest shaman ever.

25 Years After his birth the village waits for his return. He has moved away to the wildlands of Arborak at a very young age, away from his family for everyone knew what he was going to become one day. A shaman who mastered the seidr magic. Everyone was waiting to see how he had turned out after all this while far from the village exploring the darker side of life in the brutal wildlands.

His face was completely covered with an animal skull with broken horns and hanging plantae which almost scared most of the villagers. A piece of cloth draped around his shoulders. The mark, which everyone was curious to see. Has been covered by the drape. He holds a staff in his hand with cloths tied up at the peak points, hanging were black feathers on it. There was a weapon hanging on to his waist, a dagger of some sort. Now it was unusual for a shaman to carry a weapon. He was given the name of the son of the god who was prophesied to survive the Ragnarök. Válizör, everyone mumbled.

The kingdom of Arborak has reminiscences of strongly walled architecture. The kingdom is made up of Factions, each with its own rules, clothing, weapons, gadgets, symbols, and secret codes.
