Tayleron Wildborn. Back story

Born in the woods some distance from Falu. Tayleron had a typical elven childhood, until one fateful day when he was in his 60's. He and his family were returning from a hunting trip and dusk was falling. His parents quickly set up a camp for the night and they all settled down eager to return to their village in the morning. As dawn broke, Tayleron's father noticed the smoke first. They quickly broke camp and returned to the village. It was completely destroyed. Buildings burned and leveled, people killed, missing, many too badly injured or burned to identify. Tayleron's family and the few survivors that remained started to tend to the injured and gathered what few supplies that remained. Two hours later, the orc horde returned. A short but tense battle was fought. Hopelessly outnumbered they had no chance of winning. Tayleron was struck in the face and left for dead by the horde. A trapper found him sometime later. Dazed, half starved, and sick with infection it was amazing he survived at all. The trapper had no way of caring for another person, let alone an elvin child so he took him to a nearby settlement. That town was Olaj. Tayleron eventually healed, but he left the scar on his face as a reminder of the unseen dangers and the callous actions of orcs. Still seen as a child Tayleron was placed with a family in town. He lived with them until they passed away. Now nearing adulthood Tayleron decided that Olaj was too big and civilized for his liking and moved to the small town of Falu. He has lived there for the past twenty years. He spends most of his time there patrolling the fields and small copses that dot the surround, as he has taking a liking to drink and anything to get the visions to go away. With winter arriving soon, he was asked to travel to Olaj, as he was familiar with the route, to get supplies.

Wow. Guess I'll have to put some time into a backstory.

Back story for Thuron Galebreath

Thuron is 6' tall, weighs 12 stone, is slender and agile. He has dark brown hair, brilliant green eyes, and weathered, tanned skin. He is outgoing and wise for his 27 years, which stems from traveling the lands bordering the inner sea with a mage who tutored him in the ways of magic. He was discovered begging outside the library of a large city, and rescued from the streets. Since he demonstrated an inclination toward the arcane and history, he was drafted on as a hireling by a mage, who provided training and a small stipend as payment for his service. He spent his spare time aboard ship studying a mystical tome that was loaned to him by his mentor. While not a glory seeker, he desires power and the knowledge to use it to his advantage. He is accustomed to living a poor/modest lifestyle and managed to accumulate a weighty purse from his frugal ways.

During their travels, the mage contracted a strange and aggressive ailment that was beyond Thuron's talents to cure. As they were near Falu, Thuron sought out Pap the wise for assistance in slowing the progression of the disease until they could make it to a large city and employ a healer. Unfortunately, it was discovered the mage had been poisoned and Pap was unable to slow his decline. The mage quickly spiraled into madness, running through the streets, wild-eyed, screaming nonsensical warnings about "the return". He died a short time later, apparently from eating nothing but stones and bark. He is now buried under a tree on the Csalad farm.

ok, once more the dimmer bulb in the box, I'm allowed 4 L1 spells and 3 cantrips, or do cantrips count as spells? Checking intelligence for S&G
