Nostrum (Total War)



"If I may interject... I have known you since you were a wee boy, Link. I still remember the day I found you, wandering the cathedral and helping those war victims. You are like a second son to me. (...) Good, then pleas trust me now. I am telling you, as a father, trust in Hylia."

Gerudo Wars
In 100 AG, among the waves of refugees from the fallen Kingdom of Hyrule seeking shelter in Vigjaro, the Wizzrobe's base of operations, Nostrum discovers a boy who does charity work in the Cathedral. Intrigued by the boy, he decides to test him by offering to give him a Golden Rupee, which would allow him to buy anything he wants, on a condition that he mustn't do charity again. When the boy refuses, Nostrum tells him that he's passed his test, and allows him to see the Wizzrobe's master, the False Goddess Hylia. In Hylia's sanctum, the boy introduces himself as Link, and, after a short interview with Hylia, is accepted by her to be her first Knight.

A year later, after Agahnim is dethroned, Hyrule Castle reclaimed from the Darknut Legion and Princess Oraiya Zelda IV kidnapped by Vaati to Ontheon, Nostrum and his son Carock is ordered by Hylia to accompany Link and his partner, the Hylian girl Lana, on their first mission: free Yaraxonal, the Sage imprisoned deep under Ontheon. At Ashinon, Nostrum tells them to seek out a traitor close to the Gerudo throne, before heading back east.
