Suzanne von Essen was a beautiful women, who was married to the ruler of the state Essen in the kingdom Hogelsin,
Rolf von Essen.He was a arrogant ruler at best, but he was succesfull, Essen only grew and blossem even more under
his rule.
A few years after their marriage Suzanne von Essen got pregnent and it was a bleesing of the gods, becouse it had
started to spreed rumers that Lord and Lady von Essen could not consive a child and it whould the end of the von
Essen bloodline.
During the pregnancy a plague struck the land, and many souls where taken. The priest did not know why the gods
had allowed this to occur.
The plague mysteriously vanished when Suzanne von Essen whould give birth. She gave birth to a boy.
However, Lady von essen died shortly after. But just before, she named him. Dirko, Dirko von Essen.
Rolf von Essen was utterly destroyed becouse of this and felt nothing but hate for the boy. Who he blammed for
sussanne's death.
The priest examined the boy at birth, they discoverd that Dirko von Essen bare the mark of the keeper of souls,
Toth. It came aware to them that Dirko had a higher purpose in life, but they did not know if it was there place
to inform Dirko of that.
As Dirko grew up, he found himself seeking his fathers approval but never recived it. When he turned 21 he was
sent away to prove himself to his father and his country Hogelsin. So one day he found himself in Thais and thats
when the real story begins.
I'm Dirko von Essen and here by I apply for the society of the black rose.
As I woke up one morning, I could hear the birds singing. I lifted my hat to see if I could spot them and I did. Normaly I would have made my servants take care of it, but as I left my country in the cover of darknes I did not have time to take any with me. I got up from grass and picked up a stone and throw it at the birds. Finaly i got some peace and quit again. At least that is what I thought. Moments later I saw a ranger going towards me and he started to shout at me, but as he came closer he started to smile, even sneer at me. Then it came. the hated question. He asked if I was an dwarven elf. I became furious and violent. I screemed at him at the top of my lungs that I was not an elf but a gnome. A noble gnome. I drew my blade and he started to laugh and said "What are you going to do with that needle, little man". So i swinged my sword and cut him on his thigh. The ranger started to laugh even more and said "you got some spirit, little man. What do you say about making a few silver". I asked him what he wanted me to do and he answerd that he need help with dealing with some simpleminded fools, and wanted me to distract them wile he sneak around them. I told him that I whould duel him, and if he wins I whould help him. However if I won he must serve me as my servant. The ranger started to grin and accepted the duel. As we both drew our swords, I realized that his sword was about to feet longer then mine and gulped. He started swinging at me like a mad man. I was frozen, paralysed. I started to back of, but slipt on some rocks on the ground and fell and just evaded his attack and swiftly trusted my blade against him and manage to cut him on his cheast, it was a superficial wound but a wound. He backed of and coverd his cheast with his hand and looked at the wound. Then it happend, the ranger kneel before me and I got my first full sized servant.
