Lorsan

A mage of the Wilders faction

Lorsan’s innate curiosity has led him to develop exceptional skills as a Windwhisperer. Since he was young, he has been able to hear the whispers of the wind, allowing him to pick up on information from faraway places and understand the stories the air carries with it. Not only does this ability provide him with a unique perspective on the world, but it also allows him to anticipate changes in his environment, which proves invaluable in his quest for adventure. Through his connection with the wind, Lorsan has learned to interpret nature’s messages, which has helped him forge a deeper bond with his home. Under the tutelage of the Arden, Lorsan has honed his skills and learned to appreciate the wisdom found in the stories of the past. Arden has taught him that every whisper of the wind carries with it a fragment of knowledge, and that it is his duty as a Windwhisperer to share those stories with his people. However, as his understanding of the world grows, so does his inner conflict. Though he feels a strong connection to his home, the pressure to explore the unknown pushes him to question his place in the world.

Background

As a child, Lorsan yearned to know what was beyond the edges of the massive forest he called home. After thousands of years of habitation, most Wilders prefer to stay nestled among the towering trunks, hidden safely away from the world in leaves and shade. The majority of them never leave the woods, content to remain where they are comfortable. Where the others found comfort, however, Lorsan lived with a growing pressure to wander and explore. It was as if the weight of all the trees was pressing against his back, propelling him to the outside. It made sense then that he became a whisperer at a young age. While it is true that most Wilders never leave the confines of their green haven, they are not entirely ignorant of the wider world. Nature doesn't stop where forest gives way to field, it simply changes form. The wind whisperers listen to the breezes that travel over sea, mountain, and meadow to gather news from far away, staying apprised of the outside. Lorsan had been doing this throughout his childhood when his talent was discovered by Arden. Under the old sage's tutelage, Lorsan quickly learned how to focus and direct his power. His talent was extraordinary, and soon he could draw so much from each gentle breeze that it was almost like he had traveled the wind's journey himself. Still, this wasn't enough for him. He was torn. He was compelled to explore, to put himself in the middle of strange lands, but he had a responsibility to his people. He was one of the most talented whisperers, and if he was away his talents would only benefit himself. All of the sensations and insights the wind carried to him only made his wanderlust grow. He began to become truly discontent, and then eventually despondent at his circumstances. Arden took notice and told him, "A good whisperer should listen not only to the wind, but also to his own heart." He gifted the young whisperer with a staff and left him with a kind word.

History

Lorsan is gifted, and everyone has always told him so. The price of being chosen though was leaving his sister and committing to endless training. Everyone put their hope in him, and the future of the Whisperers of the Wind weighs heavy on his shoulders. Kaz is the only companion that visits him since he was chosen to be trained as a Wind Whisperer. This feral, disgruntled feline is the one that awakened Lorsan's desire to see the world. Lorsan wanted to leave the Dark Forest, to see for himself and not just hear of the world through the wind. Arden was teaching him, and his sister has high hopes for him. He is the Wilders' only hope. At that thought, he could never walk away. Even the thought of walking away was not allowed to fully take shape, for it always sent a pang of guilt through him. Later though, he came to understand that expectations should not become restraints. Everyone's attention was based in their love for him. They expected him to become the most powerful Wind Whisperer in history, but they also hoped that he could be himself. With the encouragement of his teachers, the support of his sister, and the understanding of his friends, Lorsan was finally transformed. He left the Dark Forest but carried with him the duty of the Wind Whisperer. He follows his untamed heart wherever it leads him. Maybe you have not seen him, but in Esperia, you must have heard legends of him from all around.
