Sissel and her family (sister Britte and father Lemkil) live in Rorikstead in 4E 201. Her family is abusive to her: her father drinks and beats her and Britte up when they don’t do what they’ve been told or when he is in a foul mood, and even her sister Britte, jealous by Sissel’s natural abilities, abuses her by beating her and making her do all of the chores as well as taking off the steam for their father’s anger. Sissel has only one reason to live – magic. Being a protégé at the young age, she is lucky enough to have found a teacher in an old war veteran Breton Jouane Manette, who is a retired mage. He secretly improves the condition of the soil for the settlement’s crops to prosper in the harsh climate. He sees the girl’s potential and secretly teaches her the Arcane Arts. Sissel’s dream is to become a famous mage like Shalidor through furthering her studies at college of Winterhall. She hopes to run away one day when she has money and opportunity. Suddenly, Sissel’s journey begins with an unexpected attack on the town. She has to escape and survive the long and perilous journey to the east and then the Capital of Thieves itself while staying true to her dreams of becoming the next Shalidor.All Rights Reserved
