Rais'Alon

Rais'Alon is the main character of the story. Born to Lutai parents, Rais'Alon was the first child in the land of Yushen to not have any of the Seeds associated with the people.

His father attempted to have him sent to a baron in Outcast so that he could be raised as a foster child. His mother would have no part of this. She left with Rais'Alon and traveled to Outcast on her own. Unfortunately, she died before the boy had turned ten. Yulan Carrens, a local craftsman, took the boy in and raised him as his own.

Rais'Alon became a successful hunter and guide, but he was never happy. He often turned to drink as a way to alleviate his pain. On his 35th birthday, Yulan presented him with a sword. The craftsman had dreamt of the sword in detail and felt compelled to build it.

The night of his birthday, Rais'Alon was forced to use the sword. He slay a Lord's son in combat and then immediately collapsed. When he awoke everything had changed. His once-brown hair was black, his eyes were black, and even his nails had turned black. The moment that the sword tasted blood it came to life, merging with Rais'Alon. The sword spoke to him, saying its name was "KrethX" and that it was now the master of his mind. It was mistaken.

When Rais'Alon and KrethX merged, the one Seed that nobody in Yushen or Outcast was capable of training Rais'Alon with entered him. The Seed of magic. Now that he had been exposed to each everything about him transformed. Where he was once the man who all believed had none of the Seeds, he was now the only being who had them all in equal measure. They were always there, but they lay dormant until now.
