Dalkaer Lenerf  (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=560252) (Sheet still WIP)<br/><br/>He grew up in the farming community of Nybor. The son of two adventurer's, his father an Alchemist while his mother is a Druid. One of his first memories occurred when he was very young, a good number of goblins had decided it was a great idea to attack the town. This memory is the source of his intense fascination and love of fire. He vividly recalls how his father used bombs to devastating effect, neutralizing entire groups of the wide-mouthed attackers. While his mother skillfully directed a flaming sphere to ensure that very few goblins were actually able to enter the town.<br/><br/>That one night showed him how fire could be used for good, used to protect and defend. That single memory gave a young gnome his lifelong passion and obsession. His childhood was mostly spent at his father's side, learning Alchemy. However he also aided his mother in caring for injured townsfolk, she also spent plenty of time teaching him about the natural world and nurturing his love of nature. His mother's animal companion was his constant guardian and best friend.<br/><br/>The rest of the time was of course spent experimenting, playing with fire in what he thought was a responsible manner(responsible for a young gnome). While he loved fire, he was always careful to make sure that no one got hurt. Inventing creative methods to test different theories in a way that would not endanger anyone(objects were another story).<br/><br/>When his alchemy training was done, he was quite eager to leave the town of Nybor and start on his grand adventurers(oh the stories his parents had told him). Sandpoint was a natural choice for his first destination. Not only was there the new cathedral to visit, but most importantly, the town's alchemist. While his own father knew a great deal, there was still always something new to learn. So with fond farewells, he left on his journey of perfecting fire into a precise tool that would help make the world a better place.
