# po: If the target language has a specialized term for a fortified town, like Latin "oppidum", use it for Parthyn.
story= _ "Malin Keshar was born ten years after the death of Haldric IV. He grew up in the northern border town of Parthyn, the second child and eldest son of the baron of the city. Every summer, by the time the mountainous paths and high passes shed their wintry gowns of snow, orcs descended from their northern hills to ravage the settlements at the frontier. Every year, Malin’s father led the townsfolk to repel the raids and force the orcs to retreat back to the north."

story= _ "When Malin was 10, a mage who passed through the town sensed strong magical abilities in the boy. His parents, seeing a chance for him to escape the constant battle with the orcs, arranged for him to be sent to the mages at the Isle of Alduin. He studied there for eight years, learning all manner of magic, from basic control over the elements, to the mystic arts and scrying, to alchemy and simple medicine."

story= _ "Malin quickly found that he had considerable talent, especially for arcane sorcery and manipulating the essence of life. In time, however, he grew bored of his studies and began to research magics that were far beyond the teachings of his masters. Despite Malin’s substantial skill, his lack of experience led to a series of failed experiments, one of which took the life of a fellow student. For his transgressions, he was expelled."
story= _ "Although his life on Alduin was luxurious and peaceful, Malin found the teachings of the scholarly mages to be too philosophical for his tastes. His thoughts turned back to Parthyn, where brute force, not theoretical reasoning, was necessary to drive off the orcs. In time, Malin began to research new magics on his own, but his lack of experience led to a series of failed experiments, one of which took the life of a fellow student. For his transgressions, he was expelled."
