'''Summary:'''<br>
Jos'iah hails from the elvish city of Haldamar, or "The Hidden Home".  No one really knows where it lies for it is tucked away by secrecy and magic.  For countless generations, the sun elves of Haldamar have isolated themselves from the outside world.  Many surmise it was because of a great plague or encroaching evil.  Many more believe that the other races are just too impure and lowly to mingle with their kind.  Those that succumb to wanderlust and leave the city's gates are forever banished.  The location of their home erased from their mind's eye.
Jos'iah spends many of his years studying a multitude of disciplines such as archery, swordsmanship, lore, and magic.  He enlisted amongst the ranks Haldamar's elite military reserves, the Sempers --- a force that uses a strong balance of might and magic to defend the city walls.  And a force untested due to the city's isolation.
He showed more ability and eagerness at learning than his contemporaries however and was selected to study under the great Master-Teacher Lenwë.  Lenwë is known for his mastery of arcane illusions and Jos'iah followed in his footsteps.  (Lenwë's mastery is such that even his spells of evocation and the like are actually illusions of such power that they affect others in the same way.) 
Jos'iah finds himself fortunate to be the apprentice of such a kind, wise, and accomplished Master but he has been stricken by a new curiosity.  He has just begun his study on the races and has found himself curious about them.  Numerous tomes and scrolls about the hardy dwarves, industrious humans, and blood-thirsty orcs have piqued his interest.  At some point, he realized that tomes can only reveal so much.  He wanted to experience the outside world for himself.  Unwilling to be banished, he "borrowed" his master's teleportation stone and found himself in Sundren. 
He has found it to be a place of wonder and filled with the many things he has read about.  His newfound experiences reveal so much more than the scrolls and tomes ever could.  He has even found himself on adventures with halflings, humans, and half-orcs!  And then he realized, he has been struck by wanderlust!
Still unwilling to be banished but even more unwilling for Sundren to fade into memory, Jos'iah frequently "borrows" his Master's teleportation stone.  In order not to be found out, he devised a clever combination of mundane instruments and arcane cantrips to alert him whenever his Master comes calling while he is away.  When he does, Jos'iah apologizes to those he is with and teleports himself back home before his Master finds out. And Lenwë is none the wiser of his star pupil's exploits... or is he?
