Alerich Praes was named by and after his father. His father was named
after his own father, and so on and so forth for as far as the histories can
tell. Also like his father (and his father before him etc.) , Alerich is a
holy man. Traditionally the Praes clan were followers of Sedgwick, and
there was some dystrophy that ensued from a young Alerich to "rebel" and
decide to devote himself to a Gnome that had ascended to the heavens. This
was simply blasphemy to the others who held the same name, and so Alerich
was forced to make his own way. A young Alerich (by our count likely the
nineteenth) was forced to abandon the wealth of his family and wandered very
far from his family's estate. Alerich wandered through forests and
mountains until he came to a city bursting with life. A city that it is
said had claimed a Gnome who had ascended as one of its own. Alerich
stepped into the Inn he would call his home for now. When asked for his
name he thought for a moment then grinned and replied "Nineteen", and hoped
that the nickname he had given himself would stick. Alerich's pilgrimage
was at an end, he had found Seringale. His journey however, has just began.
Description:
A tall man stands before you. A shock of white hair defies gravity at
the top of his head. This is rather curious because the man's face would
indicate an age closer to that of a boy than a man. Pointy ears and almond
shaped eyes reveal his Elvish heritage. A crooked nose makes its home in
the middle of his face, it appears to have been broken and then reset poorly
several times. Scrawny arms stick out of robes that are much too small for
their wearer.
