==Appearance and Personality==

Line 39:

Ten years pass, and The Hero is now 16 years old. He, along with Prince Harry, have grown up laboring at the slave camp. After an altercation with two of the slave drivers, who were abusing a fellow captive named [[Maria]], the two are approached by her brother, one of the guards, who arranges for the three to escape via a barrel. After drifting through the central sea, they soon wash up at the [[Heaven's Above Abbey]] where they recover. While Maria stays as an initiate, The Hero and Harry depart to try to fulfill Pankraz's final request.

After obtaining a wagon from a trader in [[Fortuna]], and learning how to tame monsters, the pair head north to discover [[Whealbrook]] was razed years ago. During their stay, they find a cache left behind by Pankraz deep inside [[Whealbrook Adit]] - where they find the [[Zenithian ~~Equipment#Zenithian Sword|Zenithian Sword]]~~ and a letter from Pankraz explaining that he has been searching for The Legendary Hero and the [[Zenithian Equipment|Zenithian gear]], as Madaline was captured by the forces of [[Nadiria]] years ago. Heading west to Roundbeck, the two learn that Bianca and her family have since moved away, as well as some disturbing rumors about [[Coburg]]. Upon returning, they learn Harry's father has passed on leaving his half-brother Wilbur as king, and the Queen Dowager is enacting a tyrannical rule over the kingdom. Sneaking into the castle via a secret entrance, they pass through the dungeons -- where they find the real Queen Dowager held captive in a cell. After entering the courtyard, they speak with Wilbur, who discreetly passes a key to Harry in order to access a teleportal. Wanting to determine who is the impostor, The Hero and Harry set off to find [[Ra's Mirror]] stored at [[Abovitall Tower]]. With it, the false queen is unmasked and defeated. Harry decides to stay at Coburg to help his brother run the kingdom, leaving The Hero to continue his journey alone.

Acting on a tip from King Wilbur, The Hero sails to the continent of Zephyrus to reach the village of [[Mostroferrato]], the last known location of the [[Zenithian ~~Equipment#Zenithian Shield|Zenithian Shield]]~~. There he meets up with Rodrigo Briscoletti, who trying to find suitors for his daughter [[Nera Briscoletti|Nera]] - with the shield as a wedding gift. Applying as a bachelor, The Hero is tasked with find both the [[Circle of Fire]] and the [[Circle of Water]] to be deemed worthy. After retrieving the first ring from the [[Mount Magmageddon|volcano]] in the south, Rodrigo lends his yacht to let find the other ring in the [[Cataract Caves]]. Along the way, a large watergate blocks the path, and The Hero stops at the nearby mountain village of [[Stockenbarrel]]. There he meets with his childhood friend, Bianca, now a young adult. She agrees to unlock the watergate and help him to retrieve the ring.
