Personal history

As familial legend would have it, in the depths of a forgotten dungeon beneath the Sword Coast Herrald the Unbroken would delve deep. Met with brutish orcs and gnawing goblins, Herrald would fight through a haze of bloody mist and take a battled beating. Emerging victorious in a land far and unfamiliar to him, the haze of blood would fall, and before some locals, a scared man would stand. Called Haze-n-Scared that man would settle and build a family, the Hazenscar family. The Milan people would treat the family well and in return be paid in kind as that family grew evermore local. Becoming accomplished farmers, the family gave birth to an accomplished child.
 
Born in Phannaskull on the 4th of Alturiak 1464, Aronin would listen to his father's tales of magic, titans, and gods. Pleased by what he heard, Aronin's imagination ran wild. In his very childhood Aronin sought magical texts and explored them without end into his teenage years when the dragon Skalnaedyr would flee a plague and conquer his home town. Rife with books his father had bought him over the years, Aronin searched them for dragons and began to study. Eventually, the Order of the Blue Thunderbolts took notice.
 
As Aronin's became a man, his talents became obvious. In 1484 at the age of twenty, after Skalnaedyr took Aronin's hometown after fleeing a plague, his family became aware of the Order of the Blue Thunderbolts and the order offered to teach Aronin magic and draconic lore. During his six years of education, learning magic, lore, and languages, Aronin was put in the center of turmoil under the tutelage of the order's leader, Zjackam Sorabald, but in so doing he earned great respect. As the year 1490 fell Sorabald requested, given Aronin's many talents, that Aronin travel to Luskan to the Hosttower of the Arcane. The mission he gave Aronin was to meet with a contact there that he trusted in order to secretly translate several texts at the request of that individual. Sorabald would, uncharacteristically, offer deep appreciation and praise for Aronin's acceptance of the task and the body of his past work as Aronin made plans to travel to the Sword Coast and bid goodbye to his family.
 
Sorabald would then take Aronin to one of the order's hidden locations where a teleportation rune was prepared by another member. Sorabald then informed Aronin that the head of the Hosttower of the Arcane, Zartan a strange fellow, should be heeded as if he were Sorabald. He informed Aronin that Zartan was a master war mage with access to a great library of war magic. Described as a tall, red hair warrior unlike any mage, Aronin was handed several scrolls to prepare new spells on and sent through to find that very mage.
 
In the city of Luskan, Aronin arrived at a tower and met Zartan in late winter. Given a cloak, Zartan welcomed Aronin warmly and guided him through the tower. Zartan introduced him to the main library as well as, pridefully, a practice room under construction. At a petrified door there stood within a circular room 80 foot in diameter divided into sections with an obsidian pillar that connected to the walls and floors of the same make, the cost of which was beyond anything in Aronin's homeland. Divided into 12 sections, runes were inscribed in some sections but two were covered. In one such zone, Zartan summoned two beautiful chairs before he shared a command word the utilize his adjustments to arcane defection. Pulled from their bodies, Zartan and Aronin entered a near ethereal form where their physical bodies could not be hurt. They traded shots and Zartan proved his superiority before they returned to their bodies, with Aronin drained but unharmed.
 
Zartan then informed Aronin that he would be using his primordial to translate scrolls and books. Zartan also informed Aronin that he had to prepare a contract that could harm either of them should they break it. For Aronin, the infernal of the contract read that if ever he informed anyone of what he read, that he would be a servant of a being on the plane of Dis. For Zartan it meant that he had to help the Order of the Blue Thunderbolts against their mutual enemy, the Dragon Cult. Upon the fleshy, leather pages they signed their name (for Aronin having found that magic divulgance couldn't be used against him) with Aronin saying in draconic, "fortune favors the bold" before a huge demonic hand exited a fiery portal and took the contract.
 
Zartan then showed Aronin to his room and he got settled in. His room was complete with lavish furniture and old mossy books, written in primordial. They were all historical accounts of Chult and the primordial abound. He learned of a god war and a being called Ubtao. Most importantly, the scholars who wrote the texts warned of the Yuan-ti and their desire to awaken the Night Serpent, which yearns to eat the sun. Aronin learned of the local settlements but when he translated a portion that mentioned a shrine of Ubtao hidden in some jungle, he drew in all comers. The first to his side was Zartan's second, a grim human wizard, soured and called Bulgoloth. The next was his preferred contact, Zartan's third, in her mid-40's, the human Janoth. It wasn't long after that translation that Aronin's work was completed.
 
It was then that Aronin journeyed Luskan. Come late summer, Flamerule 20, 1492 after two years of work, he learned of the city around. It was in that time of exploration that Zartan congratulated Aronin for a job well done and for that effort Zartan had done more then what was needed which allowed for Aronin's order to build a tower and become respected among Skalnaedyr, eventually winning over the city. Together, Aronin and Zartan began to train and all the benefit fell unto Aronin. Enhancing Aronin's spells and entirely teaching him Scorching Ray and Find Familiar, Aronin became a formidable force and his relationship with Zartan flourished.
 
As Zartan trained Aronin, the tower completed its practice room. The two trained until the 1st of Eleint when Zartan told Aronin that he was on his way to becoming an excellent war mage. Expressing the fact that he enjoyed Aronin's presence, he gifted Aronin a sword that he had crafted. At first it appeared as if only a hilt with runes inscribed in a series on the side, a hidden connection among them presented the Hosttower of the Arcane. Held in Aronin's hand, focused with his magical essence, a blue blade that looked metal and appeared to glow sprang forth from the hilt. Aronin's gratitude was known that day as Zartan gave him a clasp to affix the sword to his belt before pointing out a blank space for Aronin's Ruby on the bottom of the sword. Like many other swords that Zartan had crafted, that one was a Wizard's Blade.
 
Flush with the feeling of accomplishment, Aronin accepted a deal from the tower to stay at the "Safe" Sails Inn (actually Seven Sails Inn) for 2gp a night but eventually wanderlust would take him. Before long, Aronin would head south on a slow wagon on the 12th of Eleint, to explore Neverwinter. Neverwinter proved a bright, cheery settlement and Aronin loved his time there. Unfortunately, he then began, by mid-Marpenoth to hear of an explosion on the 25th of Eleint that took off the top of the Hosttower. Aronin then headed back to Luskan to sort through a horde of rumors.
