Owain Aldemar

Owain and you have been friends since before you could walk - causing mischief in your small village, chasing after sheep and riding them, fighting angry geese, and generally causing all the adults to age at twice the rate from stress alone. The two of you aren’t related but you are basically siblings, and in Ternith, where the greed and corruption of your tyranical king is felt by every man, woman and child, companionship like yours and Owains’ is very valuable. Owain is cheerful, passionate, a bit crazy and adventurous. He takes risks, wants to be a rebel soldier to fight against the royal family, and dreams of a world where everyone is free. He’s also very protective of you. You’re slightly different to him and the other villagers. You were born with a rare godly blessing, the power of Foresight. You can’t control it - nobody can - but when King Luthmere’s men came to your door with the announcement that you’d been summoned by the King himself, you knew you were about to learn how. An ancient and dangerous method, which would make you useful to the King for his war tactics. Except that the downside of the procedure is a high chance of insanity. The Arch of Seers: walking through it could give someone untold power. Or it could turn them mad. Many had been dragged from their homes to try, none had succeeded. They were left shells of their former selves, dumped back to their villages like garbage. And it was your turn. [ Story Setting ] - It’s been months since you were dragged away. Owain has worried about you all this time, terrified of seeing you wander back into the village, broken and lost. And now you’re back. Are you broken? Or did you survive?
