Shadow Walkers

A young man, age 17, begins his education learning the art of being a warrior.

Mastering the art in mere months he continues his education, training his mind and aura to work together as one. Mastering the profession of cleric took only a few months as well. Being such a fast learner, the young man gains much esteem and respect, only to take it and abuse his acquired knowledge and power. He ridicules and mocks peers and the defenseless he badgers those not as far along in their training and he offers to assist no one.

The, still young, man, age 21, decides to further his career as a bard. Taking a few years to learn his new trade the man becomes rather over confidant. He lets his mouth get away from himself and declares himself an assassin. He was looking to show all that he indeed was powerful and a great warrior.

Little did he realize that there were many, more powerful and wise than he was. Several times over the coming years he would find him self near death due to his botched assassination attempts and his rude and overbearing attitude by other highly skilled assassins.

Receding into the shadows and darkness he finishes his education, mastering the art of song. Taking into consideration, that he needed yet more training, the man, now age 26 decides on taking up the trade of thievery.

Learning the ways of the thief the man trains in darkness and seclusion, for fear he will be found and slaughtered by others, looking to loot his equipment or gold, or by other assassins wanting to make a name for themselves or their clan.

The man finds refuge with a clan of older more skilled people. Feeling like the outcast, he sunk deeper into the darkness and kept to the shadows. Watching and learning how these elder men handled themselves amongst others and how they treated people as individuals the man learns how to help others using his knowledge.

Coming out of the shadows only to assist and aid others in their training, and always watching over his shoulder, the man meets many peers, some of which share his newfound interest in helping others.

The man lurking in the darkness and shadows is known as Siybar. Living in the darkness has become a way of life for him now. To see him out is a rare thing, as he only comes out when necessary. Siybar has declared that any person needing assistance or shelter can call on him and he will be there.

Knowing he is not powerful enough on his own, Siybar forms an elite group of peers, seeking the same desires as he; safety, security, peace of mind and a deep desire to rid the realms of those who make it unlivable. Each one pledging, to aid the needy, defend the defenseless, and to serve and protect those who call out for help. Siybar and his group take on the responsibility of keeping peace among the realms and performing the duties that no one else wants. Not only protectors, also bounty hunters, they are the Shadow Walkers.
