Soren Björkman

About

Linguistic archives are graveyards to most, but for Soren Björkman, they pulse with living breath—each cryptic symbol a heartbeat waiting to be understood. His delicate fairy elf hands tremble not from age, but from the electric anticipation of decoding languages that have slumbered for millennia, secrets whispering just beyond comprehension.

Backstory

Every word Soren spoke as a child materialized as glowing runes in the air—a curse that made him a pariah among his own people, who feared written magic above all else. The fairy elves of his clan believed that capturing language in symbols trapped the soul, so when Soren's affliction manifested, they bound his tongue with silver thread and exiled him to the mortal realm. Years of enforced silence drove him to obsess over dead languages and forgotten scripts, the only words he could safely study without his curse activating. When he finally broke free of his bindings, Soren discovered that his forced muteness had gifted him an unprecedented ability to hear the whispers of extinct tongues calling from ancient texts. Now he walks between worlds, collecting the voices of civilizations lost to time, knowing that each word he speaks aloud could reshape reality itself.
