Michael

Michael is a Necromancer and Slayer Dragon who lived during the late Sixth Age and the Age of the Dragon.

Early Life

Michael was born into the Necromancer Temple in Arindell, the last remaining group of Necromancers since the war. Like most children born into the temple around that time, he had a rather depressing childhood. The children played mostly underground, and had few toys to speak of. This was partially cultural, as childhood 'ends early' for Necromancers. Play and childish exploits are meant to end early, so youths can take on an active role in the ceremonial and religious aspects of their culture.

For Michael, the change was not difficult, and he describes feeling almost a relief when he was able to enter that aspect of his life. He took very strongly to his studies, being particularly enamored with the history and great antiquity of his people. He was also a prodigy necromancer, learning the magic of his people and improving on many techniques almost instantly.

As was typical of youth in the temple, Michael experienced what temple elders call 'the turmoil' right on schedule at about age fourteen. The turmoil reffers to the feelings young people experience
