Vakur the Mage

“Varkur, please get me some water.”
Varkur took the bowl and ran to the well. Halfway there he stopped, concentrated on the bowl, and sang a simple melody. Suddenly, water appeared in the bowl. He laughed, and while he was laughing, more and more water filled the bowl until soon it was too heavy to carry. He dropped it and it smashed on the ground, hopelessly broken.
Magical skills weren’t unusual in Hadria. But when Varkur years later recognized how extraordinary his power was, he was already far away in the land called Andor. This was lucky for Hadira, because Varkur found out very soon that his magical skills enabled him to rule this land. He became a powerful villain.
