Søren

From BelegarthWiki

Name: Søren

Realm: Tolaria

Race: Human

Lore: At some point, Søren was part of a bandit crew called the Golden Band, which was powerful enough to essentially prevent any business within the southern part of said desert. He was a spellcaster of sorts, casting spells by throwing cards at his foes. He also hosted game nights for the Band, and was generally considered the best at most card games within the band (it is worth noting that the spellcasting deck was a tarot deck, whereas the gaming deck was a standard 52 card deck).

The Golden Band possessed an artifact that was extremely dear to them, however, for reasons unknown to Søren, the artifact was destroyed. The Golden Band split in half after this incident, and the half that Søren joined assimilated into society and performed other forms of thievery such as providing insurance and giving out loans.

Søren became the owner of a gambling house, which he also gambled in. Soon, however, he lost the house and his tarot deck in a gambling match rigged against him. His pride did not allow him to seek out his friends from the Golden Band within the city, for he did not want them to know he had lost both his cards and gambling house, so he joined the realm of Tolaria to gain the skills needed to destroy the man who rigged the match and took his stuff.
