battle for wesnoth descent into darkness

One night, a particularly powerful band of orcs overran the city walls and Malin could only watch as his father was cut down by one of the savage orcish warriors. Although he tried his best to fight them off, the raids were far more relentless and the town guard was far weaker than he had remembered. When Malin returned to Parthyn, orcs had already begun to attack the city. Believing Malin to be too reckless, the mages expelled him from Alduin. Malin began to research these magics on his own, but his lack of patience and general indiscretion eventually led to several confrontations with his teachers and other students. His thought turned back to Parthyn, where more practical magics were necessary to drive off the orcs. Malin studied there for eight years, learning all manner of magic from basic control over the elements, to the mystic arts and scrying, to alchemy and simple medicine.Īlthough his life on Alduin was luxurious and peaceful, Malin found the teachings of the scholarly mages to be too philosophical for his tastes. When Malin was ten, a passing mage sensed strong magical abilities in the boy and suggested he be sent to the Isle of Alduin for training in the magical arts. Every year, Malin's father led the townsfolk to repel the raids and force the orcs to retreat back to the north. Every summer, by the time the mountainous paths and high passes shed their wintry gowns of snow, orcs descended from the northern hills to ravage the settlements at the frontier. He grew up in the northern border town of Parthyn, the second child and eldest son of the city's baron. Malin Keshar was born ten years after the death of Haldric IV.
