Re: Narf's Fantasy Stuff
Apprenticed to a master sorcerer at the age of eight, Hassef learned fast and well, such that he was thought to have a particular geni for it. He completed his apprenticeship at twelve and his journeyman at fifteen. At sixteen, the River War broke out, requiring himself and his master to halt their studies for practical applications. As such, he could not formally complete his mastery until the age of twenty, but both his master and the two other judges pronounced that the real-life experience had helped, rather than hindered, his already intuitive grasp of the fundamentals. Hassef the Blue keeps a stone cottage near the city, but spends most of his time adventuring in far lands, expanding his knowledge and skills, as well as studying different magics.
