Homeland: Zandu

"Oh yes, we masters of the arcane are not to be trifled with, so begone lest I turn you into the urthrax you so vividly resemble!"

Magic had always fascinated you, for it was a means to power and creativity, but you did not possess the money necessary to study at the Paradoxist Seminary in Zanth, nor could you guarantee that you would have learnt anything useful there anyway. Instead, you petitioned those few independent magicians you could, pleading them to take you on as an apprentice in exchange for your devoted service as a live-in servant. You were eventually accepted by an eccentric (some used the word "insane") magician who took you to their isolated tower-fortress dwelling on Zandu's moorland. There you studied for many years, learning what little he deigned to teach you between seemingly endless chores. The knowledge was eclectic and often unorthodox, but it worked... most of the time. After spending many years locked away in the tower you feel there is little more your master can teach you, so you think it is time to set out into the world and acquire more of the knowledge you seek, blissfully unaware of the eccentricities you have picked up during your isolation.
