Hudin the Summer Breeze

Description

Renowned as a Blade Dancer and performance artist across Greater Abune and Sudd Tohst, Hudin has forged a reputation for himself as a captivating and charismatic artist, one who has earned many bardic ballads in his honour. As a Blade Dancer his swords have become an extension of himself, and in his choreographed performances they sing and dance with grace and allure like he himself does, earning him standing ovations and rows of flowers tossed at his feet almost every performance.

The Tribunal Council has used Hudin as a performative morale booster for their troops both abroad and at home, as well as inspiring the youth to join up with the Reclamation War as well to fight for their ancestral homeland. Hudin, though saddened that much of his performances were being used to encourage bloodshed, still found joy that were inspiring to such a degree that people would give their lives to their homeland because of them. It was on a journey home to the township of Elhalad that Hudin’s heart sank, for the smoke in the distance he thought to be the billowing of hearths in winter was in truth an inferno that had engulfed his homeland. He could not believe it could happen, nor that the Tribunal Council had not foreseen such a calamity. He retreated to Szeles, and soon after came to hear of a ragtag strike force being assembled by Kitarlia of Tenger, the Incarnate of Maethromin.

Volunteering to join the force, Hudin knew his life would likely be lost in the fray, but he would at least have a chance to strike back at the Fire Elemi who had wrought such destruction on his home. He only prayed that the moves of a Blade Dancer might come in handy in a battlefield, and his training wasn’t only for show.
