Chapter 132: Karl Knochenbrenner (1643-1875 CE)

The Wizard

On the 8th of November 1643, Karl Knochenbrenner was born in the little mage village of Velden am Wörther See in Austria, the sixth of 14 children. A small and often sickly child, Karl had a difficult childhood, frequently teased by his older brothers and sisters and ignored by his younger siblings. To feed his family, Karl's father had to work long hours as the village smith, while his mother was constantly overwhelmed with taking care of so many children that she had little time for little Karl.
