2022 K : Karst #MFRWhooks

 

Introducing some of my favorite people (or people I love to hate) from the fantasy, Fire and Amulet, you are invited to meet Karst.

Physical Description

Karst is good looking enough that he should catch every woman's attention. The problem is there aren't many unattached women of proper age in Darceth. The village is small and isolated so that everyone knows everyone else.

Even though his father is the head dragon slayer, interpreter for the Goddess, and leader of the Council of Elders, Karst's arrogance has most townspeople avoiding him. As does his reputation as the town bully.

 

Background 

Officially a slayer, Karst avoided the worst of the training. As a result, his fighting skills were not perfect. It didn't make a difference whether his sparring partners used staff or sword to win. They seldom won more than once as Karst would use his influence with his father to punish those who humiliated him.

Karst wants to achieve power because so doesn’t have to work, but can’t because his father as Head Slayer won’t give up any power or allow Karst to do anything. Until he sends Karst out on the quest to kill Deneas and Trelleir.

More About Her (Secrets or Public)

Karst's greatest fear is being sacrificed to the Goddess like others who disappointed or crossed his father

 

I hope you enjoyed this introduction to Karst.
