Biography
Young Valtrrik was born and raised in the warrens, as he grew the Youthmaster realized that Val had a gift for languages and the bow. The Youthmaster gave the youngster a chance to bond with an eagle. Imsun and Val bonded over their natural curiosity of the outside world; which lead the two on many adventures and travels to foreign cities like: The Spires, Denval, Avanthal and even Sultros. He has travelled over Falyndar and even witness some blood-thirsty Myrians. As he and Imsun grew older, age began to find its way into his joints and eyes. A prime Hunter and Navigator, he slowly became unable to wield a bow or stay in an eagle saddle for more than a couple of days. Now as each year passes more of Valtrrrick’s skill erodes. However, he is able to teach languages and writing to people who wish to learn, and if they bring a little honey for the tea, Valtrrik shares knowledge of the world outside Wind Reach.
Personality
Valtrrik is a kind old man that favors to stay out of politics and be the lonely Gatekeeper. He has a gentle smile and a memory like a Isurian Steel trap. Him and his maginificant eagle partner Imsun have travelled all over Kalea and into parts of Falyndar and Taldera. He always seems to be hungry for news of the outside world and bed time tales of foreign lands. During the days he slips his tea and has Dek workers bring him food to the gate. During evening meal he travels up lift to sit with his eagle Imsun or tell tales of travel and adventure to the children. The only time anyone ever seems upset with the Elder is when market day comes and he haggles mean prices for the goods he wants. Otherwise he is content to sit, drink tea, and let the world come to him.
