Personal history

History
Born into a merchant family in Rivershire. Around 8 his psychic powers began to manifest. His first talent was being able to see and speak with ghosts as a medium. His family passed it off as childish fantasy until he started to speak and know specifics about local dead residents that no child should be aware of. His father believed the boy to be cursed and sent him to live outside the city in the farmlands with his grandparents. This isolation only allowed his talents to grow as he aged, his grandparents saw him as a *blessing* when their fields grew faster when the boy was among them. The ability to heal is noticed with taking in injured wildlife that should have died but nursed back to health. It later grew to include humans due to a farming accident where he prevented a farmer from bleeding out. At that point his grandparents arranged for him to have an apprenticeship at the Herbal Emporium within the city.
 
 
 
The apprenticeship at the Herbal Emporium opened doors for him to understand more about medicine and anatomy. He began to experiment with various drugs and medicines realizing he could safely test their effectiveness upon himself and heal any damage inflicted. He kept this talent a secret not wanting to end up experimenting with others research methods.
A brush with fate occurred when he was tasked to deliver supplies to the city of Echo. The mage who received the supplies noticed something was different about this young man’s aura. He decided to test Valen by animating a suit of armor in the study. At the moment Valen was standing near the fireplace and triggered. Pure survival instinct manifested as the ceremonial robes on the armor burst into flame. The mage was quite pleased, Valen shocked at the outcome. What transpired was a mage thinking he found a student to awaken and offered to instruct Valen on the occult. Valen was terrified of what occurred, afraid he could hurt someone if startled. He accepted the offer and began to see the mage nights after his duty at the herbal shop. Despite the long nights of research and debate the only thing that developed was Valen’s understanding of the occult and rituals. The mage was disappointed the boy didn’t awaken and eventually realized he was a psychic and released him from study citing he had nothing more to teach.
Valen, accepting the nature of what his talents now were, decided to act as if nothing had occurred, keeping the education to himself. Fate had other plans. The nature of his pyrokinesis talent began to haunt him. Dreams of fire, feeling his flesh too hot, along with the desire to burn things began to build. He needed an outlet for the energy, something to temper the inner flame. The idea came to him at a festival of arts watching a glass blower create and having the opportunity to try his hand at it with a simple creation. It was this moment that caused him to feel a balance. He requested to apprentice with the artisan and began his journey into the art. Within two years he was making his own works and branched into Stain Glass. He found himself being offered an apprenticeship into the Glazer's Guild which he accepted.
The Guild provided him with enough resources to open a small shop for him to begin his trade and yet he couldn’t forget his ties with the Herbal shop. A different approach came to mind. He could create works of art that stored medicine. Fancy bottles, vials to be worn as jewelry, and other glass objects became common items around the shop. The herbal emporium allowed him to work outside their shop, finding his approach novel to their more elite customers willing to spend money for medicine and art together. The shop next door to him profited on the elite coming to his shop and within a year, Valen found the owner offering him the opportunity to buy and convert the property as he was set to retire. With the additional property, he decided to turn it into an apothecary shop with an outdoor garden to grow his own supplies. Residents in the area nicknamed him the “Glass Apothecary. Upon his 23rd summer he decided it was time to leave the comfort of Rivershire and start to see more of the world. The ability to portal between cities offered new ideas, new possibilities which he took advantage of. Thus we begin that new adventure.
