Background
Zarrath was born on the Mainland in the town of Haven in the country Wynheim to Zaira Stengar-Duras (Xitian) and Bishop Connors (Mesalian).
Upon Zarrath's birth, Bishop Connors ended the very short marriage with Zaira Duras and left the mother and the newborn child.
Zarrath only lived in Haven for two seasons before his mother took him home to her current hometown Nightveil. That's where Zarrath grew up until he was 5 years old, raised by his mother, his mother's friends, his great uncle's family and his grandmother.
Zarrath's mother decided that they would leave Nightveil when most of her own network in the town had left. Her plan was to travel the Forbidden Lands with her son. However, she ended up meeting her future husband Kane Stengar in a nearby new settlement and stayed. The settlement later was named Valour.
In Valour, Zarrath has spent the rest of his years up until now. Since he was little he has gone to the local school, been tutored in defence and the sword, and been under the tutoring of a rune engineer called Master Khasah.
At the age of 9 Zarrath went through a traumatic event when his mentally ill aunt kidnapped him and he almost died due to cold on the nearby mountain. Since this event he's very cautious to always make sure that the doors are locked since his aunt entered the house and knocked out his unsuspecting grandmother to get him.
These days, he's finalizing his last season of school to graduate early and will have to figure out what's next.
