Laevendel
High elf thief 
George Kantrales

    Laevendel was born on a moderately sized farm close to the Noldorian border. As a child he worked on that farm disliking the idea of being an agriculture expert. His parents saw this in him and decided it would be better if they just sacrificed (In the Valarian sense, sacrificing is not a religious ceremony, but just killing someone "unfit" in their society. It is actually quite frequent) him. Laevendel was a bit distrustful of his parents and overheard one of their discussions. After Laevendel learned of his parents’ idea he decided it would be fit to run away and start his own journey, and so Laevendel stole............AHEM BORROWED some food and water from his parents took a small knife and headed off in the direction of Islar.

    As Laevendel was traveling he came across a strange caravan with a pleasant looking man at the front. Laevendel was quite unhappy and decided to beat the hell out of the nice looking guy................. let’s just say that it didn’t turn out as planned. After Laevendel beat the daylights out of the man’s fists and feet with his face (in other words Laevendel lost) the man laughed, helped Laevendel up and asked him why he assaulted him. Laevendel’s reply was, "I didn’t like your face". The man laughed again and asked Laevendel where he was going. After receiving the information he wished the man, whole heartedly, gave him a "lift". After being with the man for a while Laevendel discovered he was not such a bad guy, the man thought this about Laevendel as well and told him about the ways of the Ushey and how they lived. After hearing of the Ushey Laevendel’s eyes were opened to all of the things that the Valar hid from him. So the man undertook Laevendel as his apprentice and taught him the ways of the Ushey.  

    Laevendel wasn’t much interested in all the priestly stuff but loved the Ushey’s way of self-defense.......martial arts! Laevendel was an apt pupil and mastered crucial techniques of the Ushey’s martial arts in four years. Laevendel refused however to learn the ways of a priest of the Ushey’s religion, but that was alright with the man whose name was Vogan. After serving and learning under Vogan for four years he saw nothing more Laevendel had to learn considering he wasn’t good enough in Vogan’s eyes to actually undertake the priesthood, so Vogan took Laevendel from his dwelling and dropped him off at Islar where Laevendel’s morals dropped and he frequently killed and assassinated people just because they got in his way. Laevendel loved mimmett beer and frequently drank it. Laevendel’s only friends were drunk, disgusting, and howling thieves who taught Laevendel in their mistrusting ways and initiated him into their guild.

    When a war broke out between the Empire of Noldor and the Kingdom of Narog military scouts literally dragged Laevendel from his tavern and drafted him into the army. This began his military training and started his military career.
