Salutations. It is with my personal honor and great pride that I welcome you to my disappointingly meager personality page. It seems that, contrary to popular belief, my niece and assistant, Lazu has been too busy to take it upon herself to flesh me out a bit more. Such is life.
As it stands, I am in my fifties and over-preoccupied with what I deem a necessary and proud calling of watching over Sorcery's Crest. Our reclusive lands stand as a beacon of standards and practices for all mages, pride and honor, to test not only the skills of your fellow mages, but also, yourself.
I have stood as Lord since the death of my mother nearly thirty years ago as she attempted to breach the cusp into High Mage status in her realm of Transportation, and all together vanished. Some say that she was an obsessive member to the Order of Oberon in secret, though the family denies it. A bust of my dearly departed mother stands proud in my study as a constant reminder of personal sacrifice, duty and the higher standard in which we mages must hold ourselves.
Though I myself have never wed, it is no secret that I have been betrothed. The reason for my lack of marriage is something of a mystery to outsiders all together, though it has never been questioned outright by my Barons in the past. It is an unspoken agreement that eventually, when I become unable to hold my standing as overseer of the Pavilion, my brother, Carnelian, will take my place as Lord.
Family of Sorcery's Crest
The Montaigu family has held the reclusive lands proudly, regardless of the essential uselessness of the land as far as raw materials and exports. They have been considered some of the warmest and genuine of people, even in a place as infamous as Moonshadow and the surrounding lands that many may consider more dubious in nature. While they are notoriously warm hosts to all who venture there, there are whispers about the family's obscure superstitions and bizarre mannerisms that each seem to exhibit in their own unique manner. There is a certain amount of pride, honor, duty and higher standard that many of the Montaigu family are said to hold themselves to, as is to be expected from the family who in many cases act as judges at the Dueling Pavilion.
