Abiforth is...or should I say WAS a merchant, but he put that aside to help clean up a mess he believes he played a small part in creating.

quote:

Abiforth was a fledgling adventurer and scholar quite a while ago, but a close friend had come into possession of a cursed item that sent his friend freewheeling forwards in time. He had been lucky to know the decade that his friend (a common shopkeeper) would "theoretically" return. So Abiforth took over the day to day operations running his friend's shop selling spell components. It was not the most profitable or glamorous job but it paid the bills enough to keep the doors open and kept customers coming back. Abiforth had was proud of running the oldest reagent shop, and took pride in seeing all the young people come in and get their first component pouch. He remembered the day that (Mentor) had come in so many centuries ago, Abiforth had just turned 1000 that very same day. Abiforth knew that the young elf was bound to be a great person one day. A 6 to 7 centuries later (Mentor) brought in his apprentice (Zargon) in to get his first spell components, but even at a young age Abiforth felt that something just seemed off about the youth, but Abiforth knew that (Zargon) was young and he trusted that (Mentor) would channel that enthusiasm into a productive direction. But as the years became decades Abiforth began...a little too late in Abiforth's opinion ...to keep track of the reagents that (Zargon) was getting, and reporting his observations to (Mentor). Abiforth had faith that (Mentor) has things under control. Abiforth would like to think that he had assisted (Mentor) in keeping (Zargon) under the proper supervision. But later events would cast doubt on that in Abiforth's mind. Just before things came to a head with (Zargon) going rogue, Abiforth's merchant friend came back, but cursed items have the reputation they have for a reason. Abiforth had hoped that his friend would return as he had left, but his friend had experience every year that he had been gone and all that was left was a desiccated husk holding onto the cursed item. The best idea Abiforth had at the time was to wrap the item up and bring it to (Mentor) for proper destruction ... or at least secure storage. But mere days later it would seem (Zargon) had gotten his hands on the item and had bent the item to his will. Abiforth came to (mentor) in hopes to help clean up the mess he had helped create. Abiforth had been a fledgling [lvl 1] adventurer...but he is 1700 years out of practice. He came to (mentor) requesting mentorship.
