Cyne Valbrook
Cyne Valbrook is an intelligent and exiled spellsword [warrior flavored with magic] who wields an enchanted weapon. Once the ward of the headmaster of prominent military college in the city of Dirge, his interest in the arcane and eventual melding of forbidden disciplines led to his expulsion. Since that time, he has struck out on his own.
