Difference between revisions of "Hrathen"

Dakhor monastery, was the most elite of Fjordell's Derethi monasteries. Hrathen proved both his talent and devotion by being accepted into it'sits ranks. However, the experience there was not the one he had expected.

Where the Elantrians gained theretheir powers in a seemingly random fashion, the priests of Dakhor used human sacrifices and strange rites to alter themselves. For some powers, such as the ability to travel great distances instantaneously, a secondary sacrifice was necessary to activate the power. In many ways, their powers are similar to [[Hemalurgy]].

Hrathen weathered the early stages of the training with mixed success. He was able to complete the beginning stages of the transformation -- a reshaping of the bones in his right forearm. The exact powers that this bestowed are unknown, though it seems likely that it enhanced his physical capabilites, given the prowess he demonstrated later in life. His time there deeply scarred his psyche, however, and when Dilaf, the leader of the monastery. sacrificed a monk to transport himself a short distance, Hrathen left Dakhor.
