Ysuran Shaenthril, once an aspiring Bladesinger Apprentice and now a Shadowmage, carries with him a shroud of mystery, his past obscured by a fog of forgotten memories. The enigma surrounding him thickens as he recalls stumbling out of an unfamiliar yet oddly recognizable dwelling into the winding streets of Aliscanth. To his dismay, his moon elf kin wordlessly turned him away, leaving him with nothing but a black leather-bound tome devoid of a name.

Intriguingly, the tome seemed to be his own, its pages adorned with his name, a familiar echo on his tongue. The red ink within its binding held not only his identity but also arcane spells and cryptic information. Despite being unable to recognize the script or the language's origins, Ysuran delved into its contents, uncovering a single clue – the enigmatic word "Kardimal."

Rejected by his own kin, Ysuran carried the weight of silent excommunication like a heavy cloak. However, fate has guided him to the heart of Aliscanth, where he willingly allowed the echoes of his past to be rewritten, embracing the change destiny had in store for him.

The black tome was the key to unlocking his name and revealing the arcane path he was destined to tread. Feeling an innate connection to magic, he sensed himself to be a wizard or some other formidable spell-caster and that he was at the least a more than capable combatant, given that Aliscanth functioned as a training college for Bladesinging. Set on his path now, he seized the first opportunity to acquire a sword and armor, and was determined to explore the spells within the tome and decipher the mystery of Kardimal.

Through meticulous research, Ysuran learned that Kardimal was the house of the last monarch of Arethane before Rhysanus. The Kardimal family, shadow Elves and usurpers, met their end at the blade of the Valishar. The unconventional nature of the magic within the tome hinted at Shadow Magic, a deviation from elven societal norms. References to a hidden stockpile of magic in the Kardimal hidden citadel piqued his curiosity, though its location remained elusive. He decided to search for the Kardimal House and find what answers he could there.

Ysuran walks a delicate line between forgotten memories and present mysteries. The rejection from his moon elf kin has become a catalyst, propelling him on a journey to redefine his identity and avenge hjimself. The arcane secrets within the black tome guide him to uncharted territories, where tradition is challenged. Ysuran feels an undeniable connection to the deep secrets of Shadow Magic and the Kardimal, leaving an indelible mark on the roads he traverses. As he navigates this intricate web of past and present, Ysuran Shaenthril is poised to discover the true extent of his mystical destiny.
