+===== Childhood =====
+Zalic seems very much at home in dark caverns. They remind him of his home on [[ishvank|Ishvank]].
+As a young man, Zalic had an animal companion in a giant boar;
+>//“They once used fireballs to startle these noble creatures from their dens. A cruel practice.” After a pause, he adds, “I was bonded to one like this in my youth.”//
+>//A giant boar racing through the woods, with a young Dark Elf by its side. Because the young Dark Elf seems so happy and free, he is almost unrecognizable as Zalic. Together, he and his boar explored the forests until the boar fell to a hunter’s trap.// - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)
+===== Miscellaneous =====
+A profound memory in the [[ancestral_castle|Ancestral Castle]] reveals that Zalic was foretold and destined to explore places past [[ulos|Ulos]];
+>//In a dark cave, Zalic wades into a glowing pool and stands before an elder of [[Ishvank|Ishvank]] (ISH-vank), who annoints him with this glowing water. The elder speaks to him in an ancient tongue: “You, my son, are meant for other worlds.” // - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)
+This foretelling of his possible future has led to some envy over [[taron|King Taron's]] ability to create rifts and travel to other [[planes|planes]].
