Editing Pisces Jealnet (section)

== Background ==
Pisces is the son of [[Padurn Jealnet|Padurn]] and Enica Jealnet and grew up as a commoner in a recently annexed province of the [[Terandria]]n nation of [[Ailendamus]]. His father was a [Fencer] employed by the [Lord] of House Dultel. His father wanted him to also learn the trade of a [Fencer] and trained him accordingly, but Pisces eventually refused to follow in his footsteps.

His change of mind occurred when he was a teenager, after meeting a [Necromancer] named [[Gewilena]] who showed him - as he tells it - a beautiful bone construct and helped him find out he was adept at magic, and Necromancy as well. He renounced his father's class and tried to impress his local [Lord] as a [Mage], even finding tutorship. One early attempt at combining his fencing and magical skills was to become a [Spellsword], but he didn't manage that before he was found out as a [Necromancer].

Most of the [Necromancers] in his cabal, including Gewilena, were captured and executed by being burned to death.<ref name=":0" /> Pisces himself was returned to his parents. Afterwards, he defeated his father in a duel and stole his silver bell. He ran away and used magic and sleight of hand to earn enough gold to pay the price of admission to Wistram, where he met [[Ceria Springwalker]]<ref name="6.59">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/11/23/6-59/ Chapter 6.59]</ref>

By his 2nd year at Wistram, Pisces had made a name for himself with his prowess in magic and duelling. He could beat students with several years on him thanks to his talent with a rapier. But he was also rich in secrets due to his use of undead. Sometimes, it appeared as though he knew everything. People could be whispering in the halls and he’d pick up on it. As a result, everyone suspected Pisces of having mastered an advanced eavesdropping spell, but no one could tell when he was using it or which spell it was. No one was aware that, in actuality, he was using undead mice to listen to other people's conversations. On numerous occasions, students had been casting [Detect Magic] to try and observe him using the spell, without any success.<ref name="Wistram-5">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/11/14/wistram-days-pt-5/ Wistram Days (Pt. 5)]</ref>

Pisces's [Necromancer] class was exposed to everyone during a [Pirate] attack. Due to the current policies banning necromancy, Pisces's scholarship was revoked, forcing him to sell his rapier and silver bell to [[Charles de Trevalier]] to pay his student dues.<ref>{{VERef|Interlude – Wistram Days (Pt. 5)}}</ref> He failed to find a mentor, even when swearing off necromancy. Boycotted by all the students, he was briefly estranged with Ceria, though she later started talking with him again as a distraction from [[Illphres]]'s incoming challenge with [[Cognita]]. They fought when she found out he was taking lessons from Cognita, who had also given him Zelkyr's spell formula for creating a leveling Golem or undead.<ref>{{VERef|Interlude – Wistram Days (Pt. 6)}}</ref>

After Illphres and her companions were defeated and killed by Cognita, Pisces animated their bodies into Liches, and used them to break into the grave of Archmage [[Nekhret]]. He accidentally set off a curse, unleashing shades to Wistram, killing sixty people. Pisces and Ceria were exiled from Wistram, Pisces for his crimes, and Ceria for speaking in his defense at his trial. However, before they left, Cognita graduated them, making them full accreditted Wistram [Mages].<ref>{{VERef|Interlude – Wistram Days (Pt. 7)}}</ref>
