I have played Asheron's Call since June of 2000 on the Leafcull server. I play without decal and mostly play low magic characters. I enjoy questing and exploring in Asheron's Call.
An Adventurer is a mysterious but good-natured Sho warrior that follows the teachings of Jojii. He does not use magic. This is not for a lack of the mental faculties to conjure, but rather a strong sense of self-discipline, although he does not share this with many people. Likewise, he does not share his true identity, instead insisting that everyone simply call him an adventurer.
On Ispar, Natalia lived in a small village on the border of Aluvia and Viamont. Though the village and its people were Aluvian, control over the village changed hands again and again as Aluvians and Viamontians skirmished. Natalia lived there with her father Bryn Graywulf and mother Natalia Donelmad. Her father was a cooper who also served in the local Aluvian militia. His preferred weapon was the mace.
One day, her father was taking her to a nearby stream to bathe and fetch some water when he heard the call. He asked Natalia what that sound was, but all she could hear was the water of the creek. He began to walk into the woods, away from the stream. Natalia told him that was the wrong way, but he did ventured deeper. He came to a small clearing containing the swirling portal. Natalia tried to stop her father, but his hand reached out and touched it. Lost and alone in the forest, Natalia followed her father.
The two arrived in Portal Year 2, in the newly built town of Holtburg. Natalia lived there until PY 6, when Tumeroks invaded and killed her father and the parents of the other children. She escaped to Rithwic thanks to the mage Celcynd, and lived there for many years. In Thistledown of PY 15 Natalia turned 18 years old and went to the training hall to become a warrior. After exploring and adventuring alone for a month, Natalia sought out an allegiance to join. K'ur had just recently arrived in Dereth and, looking to establish himself quickly, took her on as his first vassal.
On Ispar, Rithlar was an apprentice to the blacksmith in his village. He worked mostly on swords, being the preferred weapon of Aluvian knights, and when he came of age he began to train as a sword fighter. Rithlar came to Dereth when the mass surge of Isparians began arriving in PY 10. He was in the cellar of his smithy when the portal to Dereth opened. He arrived in Rithwic, and soon moved to Eastham to train his skills. When he had proven himself to be a capable warrior, he was recruited into Elysa's Royal Guard. He was stationed in the Strathelar Castle for most of his career. After Antius Blackmoor was slain by Jared Kurth, Rithlar left the Guard in Snowreap of PY 17. He now works as a weapon smith for the K'ur Estate, and now defends the realm as an adventurer.
