Nitendae.

Nitendae.
1/2Elf. Rogue/Sorcerer

Nitendae was raised by his elven mother, but as he grew he was mocked and ridiculed by his elf peers for seeming ‘clumsy and uncouth’ compared to ‘true’ elves. It was thought prudent for him to move and live with his father after the infamous “Day of broken noses”. To this day Nitendae believes most elves are looking down their noses at him and deserve -said noses- broken.

He arrived at his father’s town to discover that his father had been killed a few weeks earlier in a dispute with a local slaver. All properties mysteriously now owned by the slaving group.
Having no place to stay and very little gold he ended up living on the streets, he survived as best he could until he was found my the master of the local thieves guild, a master Fai-gin. Discovering a natural aptitude for 2nd storey work Nitendae did well and embraced and honed his abilities. Coupled with his inherited talents he was silent as a thought and agile as a cat.
Times were good until a fateful job on the residence of a local mage, who the informant said was away. Caught by the mage, Nitendae expected the worst. Although instead of calling the authorities , the sorcerer was impressed at how far the thief had penetrated passing traps and minor spells and recognised the potential spark of inherent magic. Hoping to utilise Nitendae’s other skills for his own benefits the sorcerer has begun instructing him in the arts. His first task was the summoning of a familiar, without any real idea on what to summon, he was rewarded by the arrival of a small silver grey kitten – Cogitari.

  2. Master Fai-gin! See what you did there :)

    Cogitari - love the name. Do you pronounce it with a soft G? "The thinking ones(cat)!"

  3. Cogitari?
    Sounds like Latin and I'm guessing from the previous post by Assif, that it probably means 'The brains of the outfit'.
    ;)

  4. And, as I mentioned in the other post, I only just realised the joke in Nitendae's name.
