Shizin

Shizin

Born among the Sildanyar to loving if a bit stifling Sylvanori parents, Shizin was a quiet child. In fact he did not speak until well into his childhood, a choice as his parents learned when seeking the council of clerics and wizards to learn the reason. It seemed he simply had nothing at all to say. He did however have something to play. From the moment he could he was making music. Banging on wood, shaking things to make noise. So he was given musical instruments and this became how he communicated. When he was sad, his music was sad. When he was happy his music was happy.

He was never quite happy in the Sylvanori lands however. For though they were understanding of his quiet nature, there were expectations that he could never meet. He would never become the great sorcerer or wizard that his family hoped he might. Nor was he satisfied with only the music that he could learn among his own people. So he traveled. He found the language of the Oruch and their music. He found the Sith-makar, halflings, gnomes. A world of words and music. And little in the way of companionship, for he still found that his own words were hard to come by. Here in the wide world there were few if any who could understand his silences.

Now Shizin wanders the world, still searching for music, but more than that too. Searching the world for places to hold the notes felt in the heart. Places to inspire the music that created with these hands. Shizin uses music to speak to a world difficult to communicate with. Struggles to find the courage to use one's own words to do the same. More and more Shizin reaches out to find a connection to something more physical than sound, and warmer than the breeze which carries away what is created. This is why Shizin is found in the midst of a great city. To find the places where music can sound, and those who might yet teach how to find peace..
