Simon LaTarge
While he was
very young, Simon LaTarge’s father became resentful of the struggle of normal
civilization, so he took his family deep into the hills of Norkatome to live
the way he wanted. Simon’s two sisters, his mother, and his father began a hard
life of self-reliance. Since he only knew this life, Simon discovered a freedom
that most people never will know. Along with his sisters, his magical abilities
manifested early. His mother taught them to work together and find the utility
of their spells. She also taught reliance on others is only earned through their
trust proven to you.
After a
decade, Simon became restless. His father gave him permission to leave and seek
his way in the world. Simon took his skills and joined Vita Negra. He excelled
in every aspect of necromancy. He soon discovered that he hated the “Necro
Way.” He made friends by showing true loyalty and self-sacrifice in the
gleaning. His attitude caused many of his professors to fail him even though he
was top of his class. During his second year, he discovered the Secret Library
of Horace Meriwether in Wolfwenpen. He took the time when his school allowed to
go there and conduct research. He discovered a better way than the old Necro
one. He liberated Meriwether’s notes on magic weapon fabrication. He knew that
Vita Negra was not the epitome of Necromancy.
Simon’s
actions forced his professor’s hands. During his third year, they brought him
before the Necromancer Council. His charges boiled down to Simon not truly
being Necromancer material. The council found him guilty and sentenced him to
death. Through a daring escape, he fled to his fake death in Markon during a
choreographed spell battle with one of his contemporaries that he saved in the
first year’s gleaning. Being presumed dead, liberated Simon. He now had a
chance to live the way he wanted and do the things he truly desired. He knew
right where to start. He needed to forge a blade.
Vita Negra- the way of the black, a necromantic system of
teaching that focuses on the survival of the fittest model, also the grouping
of a Necromantic enclave based in Norkatome. This group governed every aspect
of fully credentialed Necromancers.
