A Family of Heroes, Part V
As a direct descendant of the great mage Cordovan Damotil, Lana’s father Lechdan Damotil is the current major of the small village and also the richest landowner, despite not having inherited a single drop of magic.
While a family tree with lots of magic users would improve the likelihood of descendants inheriting this gift, Lechdan missed out while his brother Pagol inherited the magic gift and the wizards tower. Lechdan was ambitious and convinced Pagol that he couldn’t be a good mage and a good major to the villagers as Cordovan has been in legend. Lechdans daughter Lana Damotil was also born without magic but she showed early on an uncanny knack for sensing what others think and manipulating with this insight to her advantage. Luckily she isn’t too ambitious or driven. She dabbled in all kinds of stuff without learning a real profession. At some time her father even hired a sword master to train her and spent a fortune on a masterfully crafted Amazon Sabre for her. Disappointingly she proved not a good successor and even left town to
spend time in the next big city.
Apart from her father she is well liked by the family and has always been somewhat of a leader of the gang of kids of her generation.
With this it was natural that when Alena and Reo decided to go on adventuring, that picking up Lana from the big city was their first move. Though they also need some expertise in magic. And someone to guide them through the wilderness.
