Abnar Aralur

Abnar BORN 279 4A in Veshoren, Felren - son of Amos, king of Felren. A young, talented nobleman. As magic fades from use or is stamped out by other nations, his parents place strict expectations on him to thoroughly train in magic and honor the traditions of their people and prepare him to lead one day. This leads him to dislike using it and causes tension with his parents. Perhaps he will learn to find the balance in between his duty to his family/culture and his own desires. Ends up appreciating magic after seeing how magic users are persecuted and killed in other countries? Uses magic to save himself and others in a battle? After his father’s death, Abnar must take up the mantle and lead the people of Felren.

Physical/biological - 18 years old. Dirty blond hair. 5’9”. Stocky but not overweight by any means. Athletic, moves with agility. Oval face. Somewhat tanned skin.

Psychological - talented and smart. Faces immense pressure from his parents to carry on the Felrenian tradition of mastering magic, but he doesn’t see the point. He feels that this is too old-fashioned. He also knows he will have to lead Felren when his father dies, but he expects this to happen much later.

Interpersonal/cultural - Relates well with people, although as a nobleman he has been trained in diplomacy and pleasing people with kind and soft words. Interested in discovering more of Felren than just the capital of Veshoren, and also wants a chance to be away from his parents, whom he feels are too overbearing, especially after his older brother died young. Follower of The Old Way, like most Felrenians, but is nominal.

Personal history - growing up in the palace and with an array of tutors, Abnar knew he was destined for the throne ever since he can remember. He had an older brother who died of an illness when he was only four, before Abnar can even remember. He excelled in martial disciplines, but lacks the focus to truly develop his skills in statecraft and magic, much to the dismay of his parents. Upon turning sixteen, his tutoring lessons increased in intensity and his disinterest in magic turned into a distaste for it. At 18, he’s struggling to find his role among his parents’ expectations and his own desires for adventure and combat.
