Xzadrith Kazuki

Xzadrith grew up in the city of Nestal. Born to parents from the Lower Rim, he didn't have much in the way of luxuries, but life was good. His childhood was spent getting into fights with other kids, the general education provided to commoners, and hearing tales from travelers that passed through the city on their routes to and from the Illistrian Empire or along the sea routes that lead through Bridgerest to the north. Ships stopping in the city only increased during his younger, more formative years from the supplies being moved to support reconstruction following the Cinderfall, sparking a deep desire to explore the world beyond the cliffs that Nestal rest upon. His childhood friend, Rels, often pushed him to follow this dream, even encouraging him to join up with the Ironshield League when he became eligible at the age of 15, but never accepted any quests. The desire to leave the city he called home and explore the world contrasted with the fear of the unknown. So he remained. His time in the city after reaching adulthood was filled with days of menial labor and nights of Tavern-Hopping, exploring the world of alcohol, and spending time where they could spare to meet with childhood friends from all walks of life. Eventually, after another day of debating finally looking into taking a quest from the Ironshield League while wandering around the city, he overheard a group talking about slaying Dragons within the Upper Cliffs, and thinking this was finally the moment to chase his dreams and leave the city to explore the world, he joined up with them, thinking that this was an opportunity of a lifetime.
