Malacai grew up on a small merchant village on the coast of a main river. His mother and father both worked inthe village as merchants and traders, as did almost all of the village. It was simply a way of life. He had many brothers and sisters, but he was most obviously the "black sheep" of the group. Malacai was drawn to weapons and the art of combat, and he was ostricized from the village as a result of his continuing fascination. He stowed away on a ship traveling to a very far away land, due east. When the ship finally arrived in the Changii Empire, Malacai was barely alive. He was found and nursed back to health by a man known to him only as "Master". The man demanded service and loyalty from Malacai; who could do nothing but accept, as this man had saved his life. Malacai grew up under the instruction of his "Master" and learned the ways of the Blademaster...

Blademaster, Lord Malacai

Long very dark brown/Soft, strange glowing light blue/tan

Malacai is usually a very quiet man, only speaking when it is deemed appropriate. However, this demeanor is only the usual act his apprentice sees. In reality, Malacai is an arrogant, but good natured, soul that seeks to further the way of the Blademaster. His ego is only surpassed by his combat abilities, of which he flaunts very openly. He considers his apprentice, Reyco Asdwon, as much of a son as he could ever have. The elder Blademaster will never show it, but he loves Reyco very deeply, and would do anything for the blademaster-in-training. Honor and respect are the two largest traits Malacai can offer anyone, including himself.

Masamune Blade: +3/+0

This nearly 7 foot long katana styled two-handed sword was a gift from the Emperor of Changii, presented to Malacai for his skill and bravery in leading the Changii forces against the invading Ogre armies. It has several magical properties:

- It will always return to its owners hand, no matter what the situation.

- It sheds light at will.

- It will never break physically, nor as a result from any shatter or break spells. Anything that would destroy the sword simply returns it to its owners hand.

- The entire blade can magically retract into the pommel.

- It allows called shots with no penalty (DM discretion on whether this power is allowed or not.)

Cloakand Cape of Protection +3, Rings of Protection +1 , Ring of Regeneration 2HP/Round

The outside Cloak was discovered during an adventure where Malacai went face-to-face with a Chieftain Fire Giant and was victorious. The fight was not without its losses: two of his comrades died in the battle and Malacai was grievously wounded ( 1 HP short of dying).

The Cape was enchanted by a mage of considerable power after Malacai retrieved his stolen spellbook from a powerful thieves guild.

One of the Rings of Protection +1 was discovered while searching a Mummy's lair, and the other was found on the body of a BugBear.

The Ring of Regneration +2 was discovered after battling a large number of undead near the Elmshade Ruins. The undead included 3 Wights, 5 Juju Zombies, and nearly 24 regular zombies.

Boots of Flight(Movement of 24, Class A), Bracers of Haste (x2 movement and attacks)

These boots grant the mastery of the air to its owner, with a nice movement rate and the best flying ability to be found. These treasures were part of a trade deal that involved another adventurer. Malacai traded away a powerful hammer to a fiesty dwarf for these fine quality boots.

The Bracers of Haste were found on the body of the Ogre General during the Changii Wars. They grant Malacai's already swift ability an even greater degree of speed. Note, however, these Bracers do not "age" the owner.

Malacai wears a simple tunic and leggings under his magical cloak and cape. He carries a money purse which holds his small amount of gold, and carries nothing else on his person.

Malacai was born in the small merchant village of Trinne 39 years ago. His father was a merchant on the docks and his mother assisted him by running errands and keeping stock of supplies. Malacai had 4 brothers and 2 sisters, all of whom were older than him. As soon as Malacai could walk, he became fascinated with weaponry and combat. He was often seen frequenting the weapons shop, which was looked down upon by his family; especially his father. The weapons shop owner was purported to be an "evil man", and so Malacai was forbidden from entering it again. Never listening to a word his parents told him, the 9 year old Malacai kept visiting, learning as much as he could. This enraged his father, who disowned Malacai as his son and threw him out of the household. Malacai stowed away on one of the ships on the docks, desperate, shocked, and saddened by his father's outrage.

After a long journey, the ship arrived at the Empire of Changii, an eastern culture many, many lands away from Malacai's home. The broken, sick young boy had barely any food or water on the journey (only what he could steal), and was close to death. He was going to be thrown into the river, when an older man came to claim him as his "servant boy". And that is indeed what Malacai became, for even though he was nursed back to health, this man commanded servitude from Malacai. The young boy had nothing else to go on, and this man had indeed saved his life, so Malacai agreed.

What started out as servitude eventually became training; as his "Master" realized Malacai's full potential as a warrior. He was trained in eastern martial arts, as well as the use of a specialized two-handed sword called a "Masamune". Eventually Malacai came to know his Master was known as a "Blademaster": warriors of singular concentration and skill who mastered the use of a single blade. Malacai was trained heavily in these arts, expanding his skills until he was considered a Master in his own right.

Malacai began to be noticed amongst the military leaders for his battle prowess, and soon he began to serve under the Emperor of Changii. His main accomplishment was commanding the Changii Armies against the Ogre Invasion. With cunning skill, planning, and exemplary combat tactics, Malacai led the Changii Armies in defeating this grave threat. Malacai was rewarded with an expertly crafted and enchanted Masamune Blade, which he still uses today.

Malacai continued to serve under the Emperor of Changii until he was released from "duty"; free to wander the world and to further the ways of the Blademaster. During a visit to a small village called Anolis, Malacai visited the weapons shop to have a dagger made for him. A young man was running the shop, who apparently knew how to make weapons. Malacai wondered if the could actually use the weapons. So he took the man out back, and Malacai was impressed by the physical strength and ability of this young man; a young man named Reyco Asdwon. Malacai bartered with the shop's owner to take Reyco with him...to teach him the ways of the Blademaster. Malacai and Reyco have now traveled together for the past 4 years, wandering from place to place. They have now arrived in Elmshade Village...where both their battle skills are being tested.
