Harn character - Palindor d'Frenzo
History:
Palindor was an orphan child found wandering the streets
of Burzyn. Merma of Chesand, the apothecary, tended Palindor (and in fact
named the boy) until he could be fostered out. Soon, he was adopted by an
unguilded scribe named Jemann and his wife Ephare' in the town of Hieath,
just south of Burzyn. Jemann was afraid his wife had become barren after
the birth of their first son Darcien. However, Palindor was the second of
what eventually became six boys that were to fill the d'Frenzo household
(the fourth boy was killed in a wagon accident in 713 at age 9). As
the number of mouths to feed grew, Palindor's popularity fell until he
was spending most of his time helping Shorpeld of Racyn, a somewhat
questionable merchant with an equally questionable connection with the
Mercantyler's Guild. As Palindor could write, he often "helped"
Shorpeld create bill of sale documents for his shipments. At age
twelve their growing friendship, along with Shorpeld's mysterious clients,
eventually garnered Palindor an interview with (and eventualy acceptance as
a "helper" to Gwydion of Aleath, a master in the Guild of Arcane Lore
in the Nurisel Chantry on the island of Melderyn. An adept student,
Palindor patiently learned all that Gwydion would teach him. As part of
an agreement reached between Shorpeld and Gwydion, Palindor returned
to Hieath for a month each summer to handle Shorpeld's book needs. This
break stretched the teaching process but gave Palindor time to learn
the more concrete aspects of life. At age nineteen, Gwydion honored
Palindor with the title of Lyahvi Satia.
Description:
Palindor was a waifish boy, an appearance that has
followed him into adulthood. He is short at 5' 4" and light at 105 lbs.
While not ugly, his initial appearance is that of having features that
don't really belong together.
Timeline:
- Palindor is considered to have been born on 13 Azura, 700, though that
date is part speculation and part divination by a Peoni priest.
- In 708, at the age of 8, Palindor meets Shorpeld of Racyn, a
merchant living in Hieath.
- In 712, at the age 12, Palindor entered the Chantry at Nurisel as a
Mavari to Gwydion of Aleath.
- In 719, at the age of 19, Palindor is given the rank of Satia
and sent out to study and work. Gwydion employs him to deliver a
message to his brother Rydion of Aleath, at the Chantry of Arcane Lore
in Aleath, Kanday. Palindor travels to Aleath, only to find that Rydion
has left to study at ElKall-Anuz in Kaldor. Palindor is forced to winter
in Aleath.
- In 720, at the age of 20, Palindor prepares to join the Spring
caravans traveling the salt route back east to Kaldor.
