The sound of clinking glasses and idle chatter welcome you in as you find yourself stepping into The Full Cask. An older man with a full mustache and warm smile beckons you over to the bar he's tending. His gazes washes over you, a glint of some knowing look shining in his eyes. As you sit, his voice rumbles out:

"Hello there stranger! What can I get for you?" 

After you order, he continues to make small talk. "You must be a newcomer. I'm Maarten, glad to meet you." He says with a certain kindness in his tone. 

"Tell me, what brings you to the Spire?"

*Matan would enter the bar as he sat at the stool as his cloak like hood for a mage like him covered his eyes other than the one silver shoulder pad that would glow in the lime light as the barkeeper was a bit too cheery for his taste during this time of the day*

“Ah greetings. Some Travelers tea with a tad bit of a blend to it.”

*As the Barman prepares the travelers tea for matan as he made small talk towards him as he hasn't seen anyone with a cloak and a sword at their hip*

“Well I am new to the Spire of course, but I'm always willing to make friends here.”

“The name’s Matan, Nice to meet you Maarten. It has been a good while since I've seen a friendly face since my trip here.”

*Matan would think about the question the Barman Maarten asked about what brings him here to the spire he had a reason but never wanted to share with anyone*

“Very well, I'm not used to telling anyone this but allow me to explain. I was born in The North, in the Kingdom of Tannit to be more specific both of my parents being Warriors within both of my parents being human and passing down their teachings and training to me despite me wanting to learn magic while i am a warrior other than us having to leave to the Faded Steppe to be exact and to get away from the cold… and try and start a farm to the Faded Steppe.”

*Matan says as he looks at his family symbols tattooed on his arm symbolizing honor and balance of his family's legacy as a Warrior that has fought so many battles* 

“My Uncle told me a tale of two warriors like my parents. He would always come here before the disappearance. He never came back, I came to look for answers for what happened to him as well as my parents or if it was because of my family's rude nature of there being pure warriors who don't  learn magic, or if both my parents and Uncle have gone missing. i searched at the Midlands where they were heading towards..."

*Matan says as he looks down at his drink before he finishes as a warrior's heart took his toll on the ones he lost during the dissappearance*

“I came through here when I left the Midlands that's…. The last place where I saw my parents….”

*Matan was touched and saddened by having to say that as he remembered the tattoos given to him by his parents before they were last seen in the Midlands as a tear goes down his eye*

“I’m more of an adventurer when it comes to being a warrior and wanting to learn some magic, Sometimes it comes to me. Or I find it sometimes but my true purpose is learning more about the Aedell if there is anything about the warriors and how they trained back then.” 

*Matan says as he takes a sip of travelers tea as he sides over a stack of gold to the barkeeper as he gives him a nod as he unhoods himself*

“I appreciate you hearing my story and for the Travelers tea my friend.”

*Matan says as he takes a sip of travelers tea and nods to the Barkeeper*

*Matan would think about the question the Barkeeper Maarten asked about what brings him here to the spire he had a reason but never wanted to share with anyone due to memories of his loved ones due to what a old rival did to him*

“I'm.. not used to telling anyone this but allow me to explain. I was born in The North, in the Kingdom of Tannit to be more specific, both of my parents being Moon Warriors, Well warriors in the snow wearing white clothing and armor within my family’s long bloodline of warriors that dressed in white clothing as it was destined for me to carry the torch. Being strict, I followed in their footsteps.. I grew up training every second of every day. As they were wanting to pass down their teachings and training to me despite what the others have said about me being a weak link of the ranks but would get above it from time to time thanks to my uncles and my parent’s support, There was a day though in the tournament that would hold the strongest garrison within the Kingdom of Tannit i was up against a brute named Bjorn the first who mocked me for being a weak link now was going up against me when i first started once the match began there was a condition.. That the loser of the match would have to leave the Kingdom of Tannit…. Once the match began i nearly won but until Bjorn decided to try and kill me at the spot that's when a couple of guards including my Uncle came to get me out of there as Bjorn hurted my hands in the process.. Bandaged and patched up my uncle wanted there to be a rematch for him to fight but I turned it down as vengeance wasn’t the answer to a fight or even worth getting yourself killed. And with that I got a second place tattoo on my arm then my family, My uncle, and I left the kingdom of Tannit to the Faded Steppe to settle there to keep the peace to survive and away from Bjorn and his cohorts due to them wanting revenge.. As none left a mark from a blade on him until now as Bjorn hated the Moonwhisper bloodline and was jealous that they were liked while he wasn't. So my family and I had to leave to survive and keep the legacy alive."

*Matan says as he looks at his family symbols tattooed on his arm symbolizing honor and balance of his family's legacy as a Warrior that has fought so many battles including one from the tournament as Matan took another sip of travelers tea as he continues with his story* 

“My Uncle from the other side of the kingdom of Tannit told me a tale of two warriors like my parents. He would always come to the Bar before the fights if it were to be his last. To share his war stories to those who were interested or who listened. The allies he’s made to the enemies he faced until one day my parents and my uncle were nowhere to be seen  in the Faded Steppe until there were foot tracks that lead to the Midlands… From there I heard that they were kidnapped by someone or something so i followed the trail to the Midlands until i saw hired bandits killing my parents then beating my uncle to a pulp  in their camp as they were sent by Bjorn, On that day the fury in my heart grew as i took one of the bandits swords and went into battle with them as the battle was done and the bandits retreated i rushed to my uncles side.. His dying words still echoing into my head ‘Take my sword, and bring balance and peace to the innocent at the Spire Moonwhisper..’ as he passed right in my arms… so i took his sword to honor his memory and my family's Legacy and couldn't return to the Faded Steppe if they knew where we once lived so i arrived at the Spire to start fresh… and see what Adventures lie for me here. For their sake I took a red cloak and a sword holder my uncle had been saving to give to me when I turned 26 and used it as a symbol of who I once was. Once I buried them at a good spot I made my way to the Spire to begin my own journey wherever it'll take me as a warrior, as a wonderer i go their as myself.” 

*Matan was touched and saddened by having to say that as he remembered the tattoos given to him by his parents before they and his uncle were last seen in the Midlands killed by bandits.. as a tear goes down his eye*

“I’m more of an adventurer when it comes to being a warrior and I can fight despite my bandages on my hands that keep a reminder for me to press on and bringing Balance and peace wherever I wander off too and to try and keep the peace as that would be what my folks would've wanted.”
