| The group of kids he hung with got bolder and bolder in their thefts. Eventually an older group of thieves noticed and recruited the most promising lads to work as lookouts and such. Dellock liked having spending coin for the first time in his life. Rumors about what he and his friends were up to reached his father, and his father confronted him about his life. His father spoke about living a virtuous life, the virtue of hard work and told Dellock that he was old enough to begin working for a living. Dellock wanted none of that and said he didn't want to be poor all his life like his father. This of course resulted in Dellock being thrown out of the house. | The group of kids he hung with got bolder and bolder in their thefts.

| - | So Dellock continued his life as a thief, becoming a passable burglar - often using his magic to augment his skills. Of course, this was never going to last and soony the city watch managed to slip someone into the group to learn who was pulling off these thefts. When the group attempted another large job, the watch was ready. Most of the thieves were caught at the scene. A few managed to evade the net, but were swept up later, since the watch knew all of their hideouts. It was the final blow for the gang - most of the thieves were either hung or were crippled. | + | So Dellock continued his life as a thief, becoming a passable burglar - often using his magic to augment his skills.

| Dellock, in his desperate attempt to escape, had to draw upon more of his magic than ever before - he lost control. The confusion caused by the explosion allowed him to get away, but it changed him. He was now trapped in the body of a twelve year old girl. He/She did not know it at the time, but he was wearing the face of his/her counterpart, the [[lore:Light of Order#Font of Light]]. Severely injured, he/she staggered away. | Dellock, in his desperate attempt to escape, had to draw upon more of his magic than ever before - he lost control.

| - | He/She was found by an older midwife, who nursed Dellock back to health. At the time, the watch was desperate to find Dellock, the only thief known to have gotten away. The [[lore:Temple of Light]] was also after him, because of the foul magics that he had used. Fortunately, nobody connected the exotic looking 12 year old girl and midwife's assistant to the missing chaos sorcerer and thief. | + | He/She was found by an older midwife, who nursed Dellock back to health.

| For it was in listening to the inquisitor of the Temple of Light haranguing the neighborhood to give Dellock up, that he/she first learned what he/she was. Only he/she thought he/she wasn't that person anymore. For a long period of time, most of a year, he/she wasn't able to access her magic. Dellock now understands that each time his/her magic has failed he/she was releasing some of it into other chaos sorcerers for them to use. He had just let too much magic out at once. | For it was in listening to the inquisitor of the Temple of Light haranguing the neighborhood to give Dellock up, that he/she first learned what he/she was.

| Dellock's magic is only capable of destruction and change, but the influence of the midwife that "raised" him has driven him to be a healer. He continues to learn more about healing and herbalism from any who would teach him. | Dellock's magic is only capable of destruction and change, but the influence of the midwife that "raised" him has driven him to be a healer.

| - | The power in him sings not only its dark and chaotic song to him, but he knows that it calls out the chaos that is found across the world. Those stronger that him will be drawn towards him, while he feels himself drawn to those weaker near him. Only one person can be the Chaos Sorcerer and Dellock is determined not to die. He sought out many skilled warriors during his travels - becoming very skilled with sword and shield - in addition to the knife work he learned on the streets. | + | The power in him sings not only its dark and chaotic song to him, but he knows that it calls out the chaos that is found across the world.

| Dellock came to understand that the magic was going to get out of his control at times, but he was willing to live with that as long as it only backlashed on him. It was when it first backlashed on other people that he first became serious about trying to learn more control of it, leading to the adventure involving his counterpart - which drew him to his counterpart - the Font of Light. They managed to exchange a small measure of each other's power, creating two beings that were no longer pure of purpose, but instead mortals once again with free will. | Dellock came to understand that the magic was going to get out of his control at times, but he was willing to live with that as long as it only backlashed on him.

| Dellock was incensed that a good man could be killed simply because he possessed magic. He understood those wanting to kill him for his magic because he had wrought so much pain upon the world, but this was a good man driven out by fear and ignorance. The villagefolk eventually found the cabin while Dellock was out hunting for supper - they killed the magician and strung up his burned corpse. Dellock gave the man a proper burial, but no blessing to the gods who caused this strife - instead invoking a prayer to something that resonated within him. This inner belief seemed to be order and chaos intertwined and balanced - whatever it was it gave Dellock a sense of purpose. | Dellock was incensed that a good man could be killed simply because he possessed magic.

| - | Many of the magicians that fled the influence of the church in the east settled in [[atlas:Western Dakar]]. However the growing influence of the Temple made even the west dangerous for them. Some stayed in their new homes and fought, but the [[lore:Temple of Light#Inquisitors]] with their witch-hunters killed many of them and enslaved those who survived to the temple. | + | Many of the magicians that fled the influence of the church in the east settled in [[atlas:Western Dakar]].

| For nearly eight years Dellock uses his those skills he learned from all of the good people in his life to help those magicians that sought to simply live in peace. He travels among the villages mostly passing for a tinkerer, sell sword, or caravan guard. The power of the [[lore:Shadow Realms]] that most magicians draw upon calls out to the like nature of his own chaos. He tries to find those magicians hiding in the villages he passes through and helps them leave for a safer life if they so choose. | For nearly eight years Dellock uses his those skills he learned from all of the good people in his life to help those magicians that sought to simply live in peace.

| When Dellock senses the nearby presence of the chaos power in others he leaves the caravan for a few days and hunts the Agent of Chaos before they can grow in power. In the winter of 460 AH Dellock achieves a goal that he has been working for for nearly ten (10) years - he pulls the power of chaos from somebody without killing them. They are weak and near death, but the man survives and begins to heal. | When Dellock senses the nearby presence of the chaos power in others he leaves the caravan for a few days and hunts the Agent of Chaos before they can grow in power.

| - | Dellock has gained a much greater understanding of the power. The flaw of the chaos lords is that no one mortal can contain be chaotic enough without their mind shattering. So, the more power a Chaos Sorcerer obtains the more their mind crumbles - when they cannot hold any more much of it explodes from them imbuing those around them with the power. They are driven to regain this power, which has grown, which destroys more of their own self-will and control. In the end the mortal Chaos Sorcerer has truly become nothing but chaos. | + | Dellock has gained a much greater understanding of the power.

| Dellock, unlike any that have come before them, encountered the Font of Light. She was as rigid as he was chaotic and in the end they "polluted" each other - giving their counterpart some measure of power to resist their internal battle. Dellock can now do what no other Chaos Sorcerer could ever due - exercise self-control over the power. His goal is to never reach the point again where his power explodes uncontrollably. Instead he finds those around him that already cause chaos and implant a small measure of power within them. | Dellock, unlike any that have come before them, encountered the Font of Light.
