History
Gladius was born on the continent, in Nordmar to be exact. His father was a hunter and his mother was a homemaker. The son ingratiated himself with his dad, and from an early age was taught the basics of skinning game and proficient use of the bow. Like any of his ancestors, he wanted to become a famous hunter boasting beautiful trophies. This would have happened had it not been for Gladius' father, Gollord.... One day Gollord went out early in the morning for his daily hunt. This always lasted a short time, so the family became concerned when the head of the family did not return until late in the evening. The next day, all the hunters in the village set out to search for the body. Almost everyone had come to terms with the fact that the father of 19-year-old Gladius had probably died. Only he himself did not believe it, calling and waiting for his dad's response. The body was not found. Gladius could not come to terms with this cruel fact for him. Desperate, he ran away from home to search around the land of Gollord. It seemed like a crazy idea, but he didn't think about it; he roamed the towns of Myrtana helping their inhabitants and inquiring about his father. After many failed attempts, even a desperate and determined Gladius wanted to give up the expedition. While in Ardea, he met an elderly hunter; it turned out that Gollard had been seen in the vicinity of the capital, but a trace of him had disappeared. Gladius showered the old man with most of the money he had earned. Knowing that his father was definitely not on the mainland, he set out by ship for Khorinis, the legendary island south of Myrtana that Gollard had corresponded with him about when he was still a child. He decided that he would not rest until he found his beloved father and teacher....
