B'kkadorac of the Tewdnal highlands

An Elemenstor of middling abilities and crafter of the Stave of Assorted Arcane Lore. Upon completing the stave it began to vibrate and shiver with a low rhythmic humming. Being that this was quite out of the ordinary, and by no means part of the design of the stave, B'kkadorac decided to investigate the cause.

When he discovered the nature of the magical harmonic resonance his stave was having with another mystical stave of identical design and unique material, he began a quest to find this other object, hoping to combine its powers with those of his own creation.

Thus began a journey across Battal, with B'kkadorac stopping in every tavern and displaying his vibrating magical stave to all who would listen to his tale and could possibly track down its match. He had little luck on his quest, but found that the rhythmic hum had a rather unique and unexpected affect on the wenches, many of whom he ended up bedding.

As a result he fathered many illegitimate children, leaving a trail of bastards as he moved from town to town, all with names such as C'ddadorac, D'ppadorac, or E'nnadorac. His second illegitimate child, A'ggadorac, tracked B'kkadorac down when he was a mere eight years old. For some reason, B'kkadorac felt a special kinship toward the boy and he brought him along on his quest, raising him and teaching him the ways of item lore and elemenstation.

On A'ggadorac's eighteenth birthday, B'kkadorac had a very special lesson in mind for A'ggadorac, but while showing his son a particularly arcane use for his stave, he was destroyed by his own creation, being engulfed into the assortment of arcane lore which made home in it.

A'ggadorac took up his father's stave and made a vow to finish the quest and find the other stave.
