Mosca

My name is Mosca, born in the Realm of Albion. I don't know who my parents are or in which town I was born in because I was given over to the church somewhere in the Camelot Hills right from my birth. I grew up with the study of the Gods and have been dedicating my life to the Gods with hopes of one day becoming a great Friar of the Realm.

My mentor,and friend at the church was Friar Simon, a wizened old man with much knowledge of the Gods and the Realms in which we live. He has told me that he was the one who found me swaddled up in an old blanket outside in the hills of Camelot and that he took it as a sign from God to take care of me. I think he did a good job.

From my earliest memory I can see Friar Simon beside me teaching me to read and write and how to use a staff, to understand the way and word of God and to also realize that Mother Earth was just as important to life and of the many ways in which to protect myself from bandit and fiend. Some of the lessons were harsh and painful but Friar Simon says that in order to heal one must be hurt first. I never really understood that, but then again there is much in the world I do not understand.

Today is the day of my birth in my twenty fifth year and Friar Simon says that he thinks that it is time that I take my test to see if I am to become one of the chosen ones of God (and Mother earth) to spread their word and do their bidding. He has instructed me to go out and find my way to the test, saying that I will know where the test will be held and when it will be. Friar Simon could be quite confusing at times.

I have been out in the world for a short time now and haven't the faintest idea on where to go or what I must do, so I walk. I have ended up in Adribard's Retreat where I think I will stay for a while to rest and pray and try to think of all that Friar Simon has taught me. I hope to see my old friend again someday.....maybe after my test.

May the Gods protect those around me and grant me the powers I need to heal.
