Arthur Larich

Arthur Larich, born as Lothair Arthur Rislav Larich is, unbeknowst to many, a minor noble from the de iure defunct House Larich, a noble house started by the now legendary King of Skingrad, Rislav The Righteous, in the First Era. Arthur, after a disagreement with his father, was banished from his home, and has lived on the road for the past years.

Birth and childhood
Lothair was born on the 19th of First Seed, Year 173 of the Fourth Era to a so far unknown by name father and mother. His childhood years have been spent outside, roaming the streets of Skingrad, looking into every nook and cranny there was, memorizing the city's layout by a young age. He spent a lot of time observing the world around him and dreaming of one day exploring the world outside the gates of his home city. When it came to his formal education, what he was taught by the lecturing scholars was simply not enough for him, although he did enjoy reading books whenever he was not busy adventuring.

College of Whispers
When he was of age, his parents sent him to study at the College of Whispers. There, he spent a lot of his time in the expansive and near maze-like library, exploring the world through the hundreds upon hundreds of books. His interest in the worold, it seemed, wasn't even close to being satisfied, however, and one night after one too many cyrodiilic brandy's he came across a book on the Dunmer of Morrowind. The chapter on the House of Telvanni caught his interest, especially their moral code of materialism, individualism and perfecting oneself to reach one's goals. Larich in turn created his own set of morals and values based on the many combined beliefs and wisdoms of the cultures all around Tamriel. The following day, he packed his bags and left the college in the night, stealing supplies for the road ahead (following the teachings of the Telvanni's - if a thief steals without being caught, he deserves whatever he stole).
