Traders called out their wares. Adventurers passed carrying weapons Rhovik had never seen before. Conversations spilled from open doors, carts rattled along the streets, and somewhere nearby someone was shouting loudly enough that Rhovik could only assume either a fight or commerce was taking place.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He was beginning to suspect there was little difference between the two in Crossing.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Thanashar had taken to their new surroundings easily enough. Their mother’s lessons had already placed the Ranger’s path beneath his feet long before the brothers ever reached the city.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhysen was much the same. Their father’s teachings had prepared him for a different road, one built upon strength, instinct, and the willingness to meet trouble head-on.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhovik knew where his brothers belonged.&lt;br&gt;<br /> That left the considerably more troublesome question of where he belonged.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He stood along one of Crossing’s busy streets and watched another group of strangers pass.&lt;br&gt;<br /> One of them glanced at him.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhovik glanced back.&lt;br&gt;<br /> The stranger quickly found something else to look at.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhovik frowned.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Perhaps it was the beard.&lt;br&gt;<br /> His brothers had places to begin.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He had a beard.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Wonderful.&lt;br&gt;<br /> It wasn’t as though Rhovik had been raised without lessons of his own. His parents had taught all three brothers about family and Pack. They had taught them of Everild, of courage and battle, and of the honor expected of those who called upon the Immortal’s name. They had taught their sons of the Three Rakash gods as well, passing down what they knew of the gods belonging to their people.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhovik still had much to learn.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He simply had no idea what he was supposed to do with what he already knew.&lt;br&gt;<br /> For the first time, there was no mother nearby to ask.&lt;br&gt;<br /> No father to point him in a direction.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Even his brothers could not answer this one for him.&lt;br&gt;<br /> And perhaps that was the point.&lt;br&gt;<br /> So Rhovik began walking.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He considered what he knew first.&lt;br&gt;<br /> There was something appealing about Thanashar’s path, but the more Rhovik thought about following it, the more one truth bothered him.&lt;br&gt;<br /> It was Thanashar’s path.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhysen’s was easier to understand.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Hit things.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhovik suspected his brother would provide a considerably longer explanation involving strength, discipline, and instinct.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Eventually, however, something was getting hit.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhovik smiled despite himself.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He loved his brother.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He did not need to become him.&lt;br&gt;<br /> So he kept walking.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Crossing seemed perfectly willing to provide alternatives.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Everywhere he looked, someone appeared to have found an answer. There were people who dealt in coin, people who worked with weapons, and others who wielded strange arts Rhovik barely understood.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Surely somewhere in all of this there was something meant for him.&lt;br&gt;<br /> By midday, Rhovik had discovered several things he did not wish to become, spent coin on food that was not nearly as good as anything from home, and somehow ended up farther from where he had begun despite being reasonably certain he had been walking toward it.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He stopped at another intersection.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Looked left.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Looked right.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Then looked behind himself.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Nothing was familiar.&lt;br&gt;<br /> “Excellent.”&lt;br&gt;<br /> Perhaps this was what finding oneself looked like.&lt;br&gt;<br /> If so, Rhovik was beginning to think it was badly named.&lt;br&gt;<br /> He chose a direction.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Not because he knew where it led.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Simply because standing still was unlikely to provide an answer.&lt;br&gt;<br /> For now, that would have to be enough.</div>

It will also cost three spell slots.<br /> |buffs=No buffs<br /> |debuffs=Elemental resistance<br /> |dtype=Fire damage, Impact damage, Vitality damage<br /> |htype=No heal<br /> |poststring=<br /> |effect=<br /> |messaging=&gt;exhale sorcerer<br /> You sharply inhale, drawing upon the power of your internalized fire, then violently spit a bolt of churning flame toward an elder Adan'f sorcerer!<br /> Flame lashes against the sides of the Adan'f sorcerer's right eye, threatening to blind it horrendously!<br /> The Adan'f sorcerer is knocked completely senseless!<br /> The Adan'f sorcerer bursts into flame with a roaring *WHOOOMPH*!<br /> The Adan'f sorcerer is branded with a trail of jagged yellow lines!<br /> Roundtime: 1 sec.<br /> |sig=yes<br /> |diff=<br /> |source=<br /> |type=-<br /> |ctype=metamagic<br /> }}<br /> ==Notes==<br /> *Metaspell for [[Dragon's Breath]].<br /> *A successful hit that deals fire damage will also apply a burning effect that behaves as especially potent naphtha, capable of igniting adjacent naphtha-soaked body parts. Burn duration is heavily driven by high Intelligence, with major breakpoints at 100 and 150 Intelligence.<br /> *A successful hit that deals fire damage will also apply [[Mark of Arhat]]. If MoA already exists on a creature target, it will spread to two additional creatures. If MoA already exists on a player target, it will be reapplied.<br /> *Each time [[Ethereal Shield]] activates, the remaining cooldown of Dragon's Breath will be reduced by 12 sec. Getting hit by a multishot spell's 5 strikes will reduce the cooldown by 60 sec.<br /> {{RefAl}}</div>

His father, Daneolf, traveled throughout Kermoria trading, and sometimes returned with books, scrolls, codices of poetry and stories in Gamgweth and Common. Asara, Tirost's mother, loved literature and history, and taught Tirost and [[Lymira]] to read and write.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> When still very young, Tirost met the Elothean Moon Mage [[Malzard]]. Perhaps sensing the boy's aptitude for elemental mana, Malzard told Tirost of the Legendary Warrior Mage Galain. He also spoke of the necromancer [[Lyras]] and the events that lead to her downfall. When Tirost was twelve years old, his village experienced a tragedy, and he, his mother and his sister traveled south, where they resettled in his mother's homeland of the [[Wolf Clan]].&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Though many in the Wolf Clan preferred oral traditions to the written word, Asara became a trusted lorekeeper and storyteller. She taught at the orphanage in the Middens, and Tirost often accompanied her and played with the other children. When he turned nineteen, Tirost was accepted by Gauthus into the Warrior Mage Guild.<br /> <br /> ==Adventures==<br /> Shortly after joining the Warrior Mage Guild, Tirost became a member of the [[Tavern Troupe]] Performing Order, where the Speaker of the Order, [[Anjinson]] Shilanthor mentored him. <br /> <br /> Tirost joined the defense of Zoluren against the Elpalzi. He fought in chaotic battles in Dirge and the Crossing, before participating in a ritual lead by the Moon Mage Trethom to penetrate the defenses of Sorrow's Keep, where Elpalzi leader [[Alret]] Fengral had encamped. It became known that Geva and Alret had served the demoness [[Maelshyve]], which prompted Tirost to delve deeper into the lore surrounding demons and necromancy. He began writing a play entitled ''The Fall of Lyras'', and sought out those who had fought the legendary necromancer, and those who had first hand knowledge of necromancy.<br /> <br /> Later, when the War Lord [[Viggu]] raided Rossman's Landing and Therenborough, Tirost joined the defense of the Northlands organized by [[Klurn]] Odarien. Throughout the campaign, he became familiar with his fellow warrior mages [[Woten]], [[Mazrian]], [[Perune]] and [[Saragos]]. During that time, Tirost's research into demonlogy advanced considerably. He became familiar with the Philosophers [redacted], [[Briaen]] Huns and [redacted], and began to read the works of [[Zamidren]] Book, [[Jeihrem]] Kralissa, and [[Xerasyth]]. He also began to practice sorcery and experiment with connections to the Elemental Plane of Metal under the guidance of [[Woten]] and [redacted].<br /> <br /> As [[Anduwen Watch]] prepared to assault Maelshyve's Fortress in Zaulfung, Tirost consulted Philosopher necromancers as to the best means of preventing the manifestation of the demon in the Plane of Abiding. [Redacted] and [redacted] spoke of a demon hunter, [[Osven]], how he had developed a potent alchemical substance that would prevent Maelshyve's manifestation. Tirost persuaded Perune to accept the vials and use them during the raid. Inflamed by a passionate disagreement on matters unrelated to the raid, [[Elec]] exposed Tirost as a sorcerer and called for his capture and interrogation.<br /> <br /> [[File:Tir-aeril-train.jpeg|left|300px|Tirost and Aerilia discuss combat techniques]]<br /> Unwilling to bring disgrace on the Tavern Troupe, Tirost resigned his position on the council. He was offered membership in the [[Order of the Dragon Shield]] by [[Mystylaine]] and he accepted. In this period, [[Lasika]] passed a notebook into Tirost's hands which contained in its scrawlings a code that lead to one of the many tunnels Lasika had either created or found. In exploring one of those tunnels, Tirost found what appeared to be an ancient crown. After researching the markings on the crown, its shape, and the stone which it bore, Tirost posited that Lasika may have found part of a crown that had belonged to House Sorvendig. Cryptic poetry of the period suggested that the stone inlaid in the crown fragment might have the ability to disrupt the magic necromancers employ to self-resurrect; however, as Tirost presented his findings, the Necro Lord [[Nefis]] severed Tirost's arm and stole the crown and the gem. Ultimately, Tirost sought the help of many allies and was able to recover the fragments of the crown, though Nefis was successful in destroying the gem.<br /> <br /> Tirost left Kermoria on a journey in search of his former mentor [[Malzard]], but after several years returned as plans were being laid to land on the Basalt Isle and use the Sanyu Aes weapon to destroy Jehirem. Tirost served with the assault teams on the isle, witnessed the death of [[Zauldin]] and the effects of Sanyu Aes on the lich.<br /> <br /> Back in Zoluren, Tirost was honored to perform a concert organized by [[TART]]. Most recently, he has shared information regarding Osven and necromancy at a lecture at Gealeranendae College and worked with Kintryn to organize the Therengian vanguard against the resurgent forces of the Red Bear Orc Chief Viggu. After being invited to join the [[Northern Watch]] by his best friend [[Crobin]], Tirost underwent the test called the Gauntlet and joined the Second Combat Unit.<br /> <br /> After many years of friendship, adventure, and courtship, Tirost and [[Siendra]] married in the Crossing Temple, in a ceremony honoring the [[Immortals]] and [[The Great Pack]].<br /> <br /> ==Story Arcs, Logs and In Character Fiction==<br /> [[File:Tirost-crobin-bar.jpeg|right|300px|Tirost and Crobin carousing]]<br /> See [[Tirost/Logs|logs]].</div>

<p>ARMAGNA: </p> <hr /> <div>{{RTOC}}<br /> ==The Human Clans==<br /> A Book by [[Zuebara]] Pulan<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Introduction===<br /> [[race association is::human|Humans]] are a great and diverse people, I have always known <br /> that. As a child, growing up with my particular family, me <br /> being the son of a well-to-do but hard-working trader, I <br /> traveled considerably, seeing the breadth of this entire <br /> continent, meeting many of its incredible peoples and <br /> learning of their ways. Many researchers read their <br /> withered, yellow books and try to grasp and understand of <br /> the world outside their crumbling libraries -- but I, I <br /> have seen it. It was the experiences of my childhood that <br /> shaped the course of my life. My love of scholarly <br /> pursuits -- for you see, I never did pick up the reigns of <br /> our family business, and woe to me for that, warned my <br /> father -- comes from all that I experienced in my youthful <br /> travels. <br /> <br /> Which brings me back to the start. Humans are a diverse <br /> and great people. I am a Human myself, I should point out <br /> to those who don't know me. But yet still I've met so many <br /> Humans that are so unlike me, and it really is remarkable. <br /> <br /> [[Lanival]] the Human put it best when he said, &quot;Those who are <br /> known with snorts of derision as Humans, are only treated <br /> so because they are feared. In the mortal brevity lies a <br /> desire to accomplish much before Time cuts their strings, <br /> and in this they find the comfort that change is their <br /> immortality.&quot; Therengians and Zolureners -- both Humans, <br /> yet both are different, as the Halflings would put it, as <br /> taffleberry tarts and rutabaga tarts. And then there are <br /> the clans. It is they that I speak of in this volume, for <br /> those who would learn a bit about them. <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Ram===<br /> Once the greatest of all Human Clans... no, the greatest <br /> of all clans... [[Ram Clan]]'s glory days have long since <br /> faded. Once one of many others, Ram Clan existed millennia <br /> ago. There was nothing truly remarkable about it -- that <br /> is, until [[Akroeg]] was born. Akroeg became the Chieftain of <br /> the Clan, and it was Akroeg that made it something <br /> remarkable. Under the banner of the Ram, he proceeded to <br /> conquer other clans, masterfully winning battle after <br /> battle, in diplomacy as well as on the field. <br /> <br /> The Ram Clan soon found itself centered upon the ideals of <br /> justice and unity. When Akroeg died, his son [[Verek]] became <br /> Chieftain, and later, founder of the [[Seven-Star Empire]]. <br /> But that was not the end of the Ram Clan. Its people <br /> remained part of the Empire, as virtually every clan did, <br /> for ages. But when the Empire began crumbling... when <br /> that hideous time known as the Kin Strife came about, the <br /> people of the Ram grew outraged. It was they who had <br /> originally struggled to bring about the Empire, and to see <br /> it decay so brought pain to their hearts, and the honor <br /> they had held. This was under the time of [[Kaegath]] the <br /> Chieftain. The Chieftains of the Ram Clan were always <br /> given a special place of honor within the Empire, due to <br /> the stature of Chieftain Verek -- they had special rights. <br /> So Kaegath marched directly into the hall of the Emperor <br /> within the Palace, unimpeded by soldiers, until he came <br /> face to face with the Emperor, the massive hulk of a man <br /> that was [[Grudish]]. Drawing his sword, Kaegath threw it down <br /> at Grudish's feet. Drawing off his ramshide mantle, he <br /> threw it at Grudish's feet. And then Kaegath swore before <br /> the startled assembly of the lords and the Emperor, <br /> quivering with rage, that the people of Ram Clan would no <br /> longer follow the Empire -- they were free, they were <br /> leaving. <br /> <br /> And they did. The Ram Clan separated from the Empire, <br /> traveling deep into the impenetrable forests of southwest <br /> Therengia. They no longer have much in the way of glory, <br /> having been forgotten by most history texts. Except for <br /> some trade here and there, they interact little with the <br /> rest of the world. But in those woods, the people of Ram <br /> Clan still follow the old ways. They still hope to see <br /> those ways return. <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Wolf===<br /> Nomadic warriors, that is how [[Wolf Clan]] was throughout much <br /> of its existence. A fierce tribe of fighters, eking their <br /> way through Kermoria. The people of Wolf Clan never had a <br /> home, instead carrying out their savage travels through <br /> woodlands and mountains and river valleys. Their <br /> wanderings began at the advice of a Moon Mage, a great seer <br /> that delivered unto them a prophecy that those people took <br /> deeply to heart. <br /> <br /> It was in the early part of the third century [[AV]] that the <br /> people finally settled down in the Wildulf Woods of <br /> midwestern Zoluren. Their prophecy, they said, had been <br /> fulfilled. They now had a home. The people of Wolf Clan <br /> now live as hunters and fishermen, though they ever remain <br /> the great warriors and survivalists they always have been. <br /> It is just that their wandering hearts have been stilled. <br /> Forgive my brevity on Wolf Clan, but there are other works <br /> which elaborate in far greater detail, and I would not do <br /> them justice. See [[Trefan Ulf - The Wolf Clan Home (book)|&quot;Trefan Ulf -- The Wolf Clan Home&quot; by <br /> Hagynn Atkyn]]. <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Shadow===<br /> After the end of the wars that overthrew the [[Dragon Priest Empire|Dragon Empire]], Ferdahl [[Alec]] the Phoenix, ruler of [[Shard]], had a problem on his hands. The [[Dragon Priest (Cult)|Dragon Priests]] had tainted and corrupted the lands to the south of his city, calling it the &quot;[[Dark Hand]].&quot; In addition to despoiling the land, this was where they conducted many of their foul experiments. The [[Adan'f]] were created here, as well as other foul beasts. So the Ferdahl's problem was how to deal with this new threat. <br /> <br /> Thus was born [[Shadow Clan]]. Shadow Clan is a collection, primarily, of Human rangers and Human paladins who he gathered south of his city, and gave them a task -- confine the Dark Hand. Since being given that mission, they have defended the Five Provinces admirably. The Shadow Clan lives within the Dark Hand itself, where every moment of their existence is a struggle to live and to fight the land around them and the creatures within it. <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Dragon===<br /> [[Dragon Clan]] is remarkable... full of memory, happiness, <br /> rejoicing. The Clan was actually founded by [[Lanival]]... <br /> now, Lanival has gone by a number of names, such as Lanival <br /> the Redeemer. But one of his more prominent names was <br /> Lanival the Dragon. That was the one the people of Dragon <br /> Clan always took to, for it was in taking that name that <br /> they named themselves after their founder. <br /> <br /> The clan was established during Lanival's many wanderings. <br /> In each Human village, town, and city he and his followers <br /> stopped in, a few more people would get up and follow them, <br /> adding to the clan's ranks. From Lanival, these people <br /> learned to revel in their mortality. He taught them that <br /> their lives, though short, were more precious than they <br /> could imagine, and they should cherish every second of <br /> them. Few celebrations are as joyous or as grand as a <br /> feast held in the camp of the Dragon Clan. <br /> <br /> The people of Dragon Clan wear bright colors, and a great <br /> deal of jewelry. They're also nomadic merchants of a sort <br /> -- every now and then, they'll come around and sell some of <br /> their dragon-bedecked wares. In this clan, Lanival is <br /> remembered fondly, and much of what they do, many of the <br /> feasts they hold, are done in honor of him. <br /> <br /> Dragon Clan, though nomadic, generally lives around <br /> northern and northwest Therengia. <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Harvest===<br /> The people of [[Harvest Clan]] are simple folk who live simple <br /> lives. They are master farmers, who revere the earth <br /> itself, and the gods and goddesses of the hearth and of the <br /> harvest. <br /> <br /> The patron of the clan was a widowed peasant farmer with <br /> more than a dozen children. To her sorrow, her fields were <br /> ravaged and her husband killed during a war. Denouncing <br /> war and swearing that none of her kin would be a party to <br /> such barbarianism, [[Mowra]] Erestaevan taught her children the <br /> value of peace, of caring for other people, and providing <br /> for themselves and others in need. Some became farmers, <br /> some became craftsman, others joined various peaceable <br /> Guilds to help others. Hearing of what Mowra had done, <br /> what she had created, other Humans, believing that her way <br /> of life would offer fulfillment, went to join her at her <br /> home. Eventually, this became known as the Harvest Clan. <br /> Incidentally, almost all the leaders of Harvest Clan have <br /> been female, perhaps in remembrance of Mowra. <br /> <br /> They developed into a good-sized, out of the way farming <br /> community. The clan always put an emphasis on teaching and <br /> on learning crafts that would provide for the community and <br /> for others, such as farming, herb-growing, weaving, <br /> teaching, and healing. Hunting is always frowned upon -- <br /> sometimes it is necessary for survival. But drawing swords <br /> against others of the mortal races, or participating (with <br /> the exception of healing the wounded of both sides) in <br /> warfare are both forbidden by the clan. <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Shark===<br /> The people of [[Shark Clan]] are warriors and sailors that <br /> dwell in the seas of the [[Qi]] Province. They are also rogues <br /> -- pirates, that make their living by attacking other ships <br /> and stealing their goods. Little is known of Shark Clan, <br /> for historians are not exactly welcome among them. All I <br /> can say is that if you sail upon the [[Reshal Sea]] and are <br /> approached by a ship with a shark's flag, you would do well <br /> to pray to [[Lemicus]] for safety. <br /> {{RefAl}}<br /> {{Cat|Books}}[[page type is::book| ]]</div>

<p>ARMAGNA: </p> <hr /> <div>[[page type is::book| ]]<br /> ==TREFAN ULF - The Wolf Clan Home==<br /> '''''As told and inscribed by the bard, [[Hagynn]] Atkyn'''''<br /> <br /> A prophecy told to the [[Wolf Clan]] long long ago and passed down over the generations from Clan Chief to heir apparent.<br /> <br /> ::An omen of wood and white there be,<br /> ::Tis the site of many a death said he.<br /> ::Clans a plenty, futures decided<br /> ::Bravery rewarded and cowardice derided.<br /> ::The party they sent reduced to one alone,<br /> ::Saved by strength and a huge jaw bone.<br /> ::Convinced now to stop their nomadic roam<br /> ::The Wolf Clan will finally find their new home!<br /> <br /> In generations past, the Wolf Clan had been a nomadic group moving frequently from place to place, never caring for possessions or domestic comforts. In flitting from location to location they neither gained fame nor respect from the various peoples that they contacted. Bound in part to an ancient prophesy, they experienced a certain helplessness and felt obliged to wander the continent until the fates intervened.<br /> <br /> Some thirty years ago, the first portion of the prophecy came to fruition. A young man returning from his manhood rituals bore with him a huge jaw bone from a wolf that he had wrestled to the ground and thereafter killed. After devouring the flesh of the wolf (as is the custom) and saving the pelt for a trophy, the young man removed the jaw bone as an additional souvenir (as well as proof of the wolf's size). The clan cheered his return and endeared him with names such as &quot;Favored One&quot; and &quot;The Chosen One&quot;. The solemn young man soon came to power, moving up rapidly through the clan ranks to become the old Chieftain's lieutenant. His name was [[Gabe Ironbeard]]. It is said that no other man (or even group of men) could match his skills in combat and that his favorite weapon was neither sword nor axe, but the massive jawbone of the wolf that he had slain.<br /> <br /> Some years later after he became lieutenant, the second portion of the ancient prophecy was fulfilled. The old Chieftain, Gabe and a scouting party were exploring a dense forest filled with wildlife, with the intention of possibly moving the clan there. Just west of Ferhrman's Crossing, under a massive white willow tree, they encountered a large party of [[Gor'Tog]]s. The Gor'Togs (marauding members of the nearby [[Knife Clan]] it is rumored) had just abducted a young woman, slaughtered her caravan guards and took her valuable possessions. The woman, [[Suza]] Cormyn, was the daughter of a wealthy pawnshop owner in the Crossing.<br /> <br /> Bound by honor and tradition to render assistance to the young woman, the scouting party was initially at a loss to a strategy. In view of the overwhelming odds, Gabe, followed by the rest of the Wolf Clan party, then charged in to rescue the woman. There they made a stand under the old willow tree. Outnumbered three to one, the entire scouting party with the exception of Gabe was slain. Wielding his jawbone like a deadly scythe, Gabe managed to kill off all [[Ortug|but]] [[Trog|two]] of the the remaining Gor'Togs (they ran off). Gabe suffered severe wounds, but with tinctures, ointments and poultices, Suza managed to nurse him back to health.<br /> <br /> Deeming the ancient prophecy fulfilled, they gathered the remainder of the Wolf Clan home and moved to the willow tree in the deep forest west along the Segoltha River. There they set up an altar in memory of their chieftain and the other slain members of their clan, and established their permanent home. Gabe became known as [[Wolfjaw Ironbeard]]. He and Suza married and he took over as clan Chieftain, and she became their Elder Wife.<br /> <br /> The humans of the Wolf Clan have earned the reputation of being a warlike group. They survive through hunting, trading in rare pelts and skins, and animal products for the enhancement of magic, foresight and healing.<br /> <br /> Merchants come and go because of these profitable incentives, but in general it is not a very comfortable village for outsiders. The homes are primitive and spartan and the town is dark at night so as not to attract raiders of Gor'Tog, whose settlements surround the village. Another famed export of Trefan Ulf is mercenary warriors. The women are famous for their beauty, sultriness and wild abandon. Any outsider who dares partake of them, however, is subject to instant death upon discovery, in manners too unpleasant to<br /> detail here.<br /> <br /> {{Cat|Books}}[[page type is::book| ]]</div>

His father, Daneolf, traveled throughout Kermoria trading, and sometimes returned with books, scrolls, codices of poetry and stories in Gamgweth and Common. Asara, Tirost's mother, loved literature and history, and taught Tirost and [[Lymira]] to read and write.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> When still very young, Tirost met the Elothean Moon Mage [[Malzard]]. Perhaps sensing the boy's aptitude for elemental mana, Malzard told Tirost of the Legendary Warrior Mage Galain. He also spoke of the necromancer [[Lyras]] and the events that lead to her downfall. When Tirost was twelve years old, his village experienced a tragedy, and he, his mother and his sister traveled south, where they resettled in his mother's homeland of the [[Wolf Clan]].&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Though many in the Wolf Clan preferred oral traditions to the written word, Asara became a trusted lorekeeper and storyteller. She taught at the orphanage in the Middens, and Tirost often accompanied her and played with the other children. When he turned nineteen, Tirost was accepted by Gauthus into the Warrior Mage Guild.<br /> <br /> ==Adventures==<br /> Shortly after joining the Warrior Mage Guild, Tirost became a member of the [[Tavern Troupe]] Performing Order, where the Speaker of the Order, [[Anjinson]] Shilanthor mentored him. <br /> <br /> Tirost joined the defense of Zoluren against the Elpalzi. He fought in chaotic battles in Dirge and the Crossing, before participating in a ritual lead by the Moon Mage Trethom to penetrate the defenses of Sorrow's Keep, where Elpalzi leader [[Alret]] Fengral had encamped. It became known that Geva and Alret had served the demoness [[Maelshyve]], which prompted Tirost to delve deeper into the lore surrounding demons and necromancy. He began writing a play entitled ''The Fall of Lyras'', and sought out those who had fought the legendary necromancer, and those who had first hand knowledge of necromancy.<br /> <br /> Later, when the War Lord [[Viggu]] raided Rossman's Landing and Therenborough, Tirost joined the defense of the Northlands organized by [[Klurn]] Odarien. Throughout the campaign, he became familiar with his fellow warrior mages [[Woten]], [[Mazrian]], [[Perune]] and [[Saragos]]. During that time, Tirost's research into demonlogy advanced considerably. He became familiar with the Philosophers [redacted], [[Briaen]] Huns and [redacted], and began to read the works of [[Zamidren]] Book, [[Jeihrem]] Kralissa, and [[Xerasyth]]. He also began to practice sorcery and experiment with connections to the Elemental Plane of Metal under the guidance of [[Woten]] and [redacted].<br /> <br /> As [[Anduwen Watch]] prepared to assault Maelshyve's Fortress in Zaulfung, Tirost consulted Philosopher necromancers as to the best means of preventing the manifestation of the demon in the Plane of Abiding. [Redacted] and [redacted] spoke of a demon hunter, [[Osven]], how he had developed a potent alchemical substance that would prevent Maelshyve's manifestation. Tirost persuaded Perune to accept the vials and use them during the raid. Inflamed by a passionate disagreement on matters unrelated to the raid, [[Elec]] exposed Tirost as a sorcerer and called for his capture and interrogation.<br /> <br /> [[File:Tir-aeril-train.jpeg|left|300px|Tirost and Aerilia discuss combat techniques]]<br /> Unwilling to bring disgrace on the Tavern Troupe, Tirost resigned his position on the council. He was offered membership in the [[Order of the Dragon Shield]] by [[Mystylaine]] and he accepted. In this period, [[Lasika]] passed a notebook into Tirost's hands which contained in its scrawlings a code that lead to one of the many tunnels Lasika had either created or found. In exploring one of those tunnels, Tirost found what appeared to be an ancient crown. After researching the markings on the crown, its shape, and the stone which it bore, Tirost posited that Lasika may have found part of a crown that had belonged to House Sorvendig. Cryptic poetry of the period suggested that the stone inlaid in the crown fragment might have the ability to disrupt the magic necromancers employ to self-resurrect; however, as Tirost presented his findings, the Necro Lord [[Nefis]] severed Tirost's arm and stole the crown and the gem. Ultimately, Tirost sought the help of many allies and was able to recover the fragments of the crown, though Nefis was successful in destroying the gem.<br /> <br /> Tirost left Kermoria on a journey in search of his former mentor [[Malzard]], but after several years returned as plans were being laid to land on the Basalt Isle and use the Sanyu Aes weapon to destroy Jehirem. Tirost served with the assault teams on the isle, witnessed the death of [[Zauldin]] and the effects of Sanyu Aes on the lich.<br /> <br /> Back in Zoluren, Tirost was honored to perform a concert organized by [[TART]]. Most recently, he has shared information regarding Osven and necromancy at a lecture at Gealeranendae College and worked with Kintryn to organize the Therengian vanguard against the resurgent forces of the Red Bear Orc Chief Viggu. After being invited to join the [[Northern Watch]] by his best friend [[Crobin]], Tirost underwent the test called the Gauntlet and joined the Second Combat Unit. <br /> <br /> ==Story Arcs, Logs and In Character Fiction==<br /> [[File:Tirost-crobin-bar.jpeg|right|300px|Tirost and Crobin carousing]]<br /> See [[Tirost/Logs|logs]].</div>

The poem was performed at the [[Tavern Troupe]]'s Concert in the Corner.'' &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Like a moggot in a corpse, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Like a sickness getting worse, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Like a rat that spreads disease, &lt;br&gt;<br /> The [[necromancer|necroman]] Nuskaro creeped &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> To the warmage tower high, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And murdered many with a sigh - &lt;br&gt;<br /> So bored and lonely with that life &lt;br&gt;<br /> For all good things he sacrificed. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Then, like a candle in the dark, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Like a breeze when lost at sea, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Like the singing of my heart, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Like the autumn light through trees, &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Came radiant Khaelyn, robed in white, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Unafraid, with power blessed: &lt;br&gt;<br /> Her keen eyes flashed and sought with wrath &lt;br&gt;<br /> The one who those of life bereft. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Behind her came a shouting mob, &lt;br&gt;<br /> With torches chanting, 'Bring him down!' &lt;br&gt;<br /> Khaelyn raised her fairest hand, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And gestured at the necroman, &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> But Nuskaro, wreathed in magic black, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Dispersed the light and would have laughed, &lt;br&gt;<br /> For his [[risen|arisen]] then attacked, &lt;br&gt;<br /> But Khaelyn was not driven back! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> O! Her skill in combat fierce! &lt;br&gt;<br /> Though blows were smote by minion cursed, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Khaelyn moved with grace and strength, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And Nuskaro failed to ascertain &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> The emboldened crowd that hemmed him in, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Whose courage flared to watch Khaelyn, &lt;br&gt;<br /> The Priestess High of King [[Meraud]], &lt;br&gt;<br /> Who from his thrown gave regal nod, &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> To see his chosen one full raze &lt;br&gt;<br /> This terror from fair Elanthi's face. &lt;br&gt;<br /> The crowd upon Nuskaro fell, &lt;br&gt;<br /> As Khaelyn dueled the rotting shell, &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> They dragged the fallen [[Olvi]] lost &lt;br&gt;<br /> To th' Temple to pay for all he cost &lt;br&gt;<br /> The people free who suffered most, &lt;br&gt;<br /> But for Khaelyn could no justice boast, &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Yet let all who hear my soaring song &lt;br&gt;<br /> Raise a cup for Khaelyn strong! &lt;br&gt;<br /> For all peace, and love, and happy strains &lt;br&gt;<br /> Follow in fair Khaelyn's train! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Her deeds now join the timeless song &lt;br&gt;<br /> To inspire those among us young, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And time shall not forget the elf &lt;br&gt;<br /> Who forsook not those who sought her help! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> ===The Battle of Therenborough===<br /> ''Context: Composed after the battle between the [[Theren Guard]], along with its allies, and [[Viggu]]'s forces that took place near [[Therenborough]]. The ballad was not performed publicly.'' &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> O divine [[immortals]]! &lt;br&gt;<br /> That gaze on all below, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Listen to this muse-born song &lt;br&gt;<br /> Of [[Therengia]]'s heroes! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> For never will cold terror, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Freeze burning hearts as these, &lt;br&gt;<br /> That stood before fell Viggu's clan, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And made the orc hordes bleed! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> For many in that company &lt;br&gt;<br /> Led by fearless [[Klurn]], &lt;br&gt;<br /> Could acting on their courage high &lt;br&gt;<br /> The tide of battle turn - &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Yet working all together now, &lt;br&gt;<br /> The flower of the North &lt;br&gt;<br /> Allied with friends of Southern realms &lt;br&gt;<br /> Put th' orc hordes to the sword! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Among them was cold [[Whiteburn]], &lt;br&gt;<br /> Whose bloody wrath was sate &lt;br&gt;<br /> On countless orcish soldiers fierce &lt;br&gt;<br /> Who fell with screams of pain! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And the master of high lunar spells, &lt;br&gt;<br /> The brilliant [[Arimane]], &lt;br&gt;<br /> Saw that none of orcish filth &lt;br&gt;<br /> The [[Theren Keep|Keep]] would ever stain! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And [[Mazrian]] and [[Perune]], &lt;br&gt;<br /> The pillars of my guild, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Had slain so many orcish brutes &lt;br&gt;<br /> We feared th' [[Starry Road (plane)#The_Red_Spiral|spiral'd]] over fill! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Glorious [[Felicini]]! &lt;br&gt;<br /> And the life mage [[Karathor]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> Protected [[House Theren|Theren's]] people &lt;br&gt;<br /> With strength unmatched in lore! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And to the fray my shadow lept, &lt;br&gt;<br /> To slay the fearsome chiefs &lt;br&gt;<br /> Though Glory may not speak her name, &lt;br&gt;<br /> In orcish blood she's seeped, &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> For never will foul Viggu's hordes &lt;br&gt;<br /> Set [[Therengia]] to flames &lt;br&gt;<br /> So long as the deadly [[Ruea|Drister]] pair &lt;br&gt;<br /> Walk our [[Plane of Abiding|hallowed plane]]. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Crobin]] and [[Heartsfyre]], &lt;br&gt;<br /> Of families renown, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Saw the [[Gyfford|Baron's]] foes advance, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And quickly tore them down! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And all my peers from [[Zoluren]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Taevish]], [[Shaeun]] and [[Elphierose]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> Whose courage blazes with a steadfast light &lt;br&gt;<br /> Whom the gods themselves now know!

timeless muse above, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Of a time not long since past, &lt;br&gt;<br /> When Geva unleashed the dogs of war, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And widows wailed in voices sad! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And but for that soaring triumph &lt;br&gt;<br /> Of a bright all ruling love! &lt;br&gt;<br /> A darkness would still cover all &lt;br&gt;<br /> And in labor we would drudge &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> For th' Elpalzi were held captive &lt;br&gt;<br /> Knives held to throats of all their kin &lt;br&gt;<br /> Save for traitors like cold Geva &lt;br&gt;<br /> Who reveled in her horrid sins &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And sought to bury thoughts of freedom &lt;br&gt;<br /> Under the master's lash &lt;br&gt;<br /> And sacrifice our homeland &lt;br&gt;<br /> To that which stained all [[Zaulfung]] black. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> She gave the fearsome order &lt;br&gt;<br /> And assassins dashed to slay &lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of our brave defenders &lt;br&gt;<br /> Whom her designs would sure delay. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Huge was then her army, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And dire were their arms, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Bold Geva feared her nothing, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And to the Crossing raised alarm! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> For lo! She seemed death's shadow! &lt;br&gt;<br /> A force that none could stop &lt;br&gt;<br /> She taunted us from hiding &lt;br&gt;<br /> And dread was felt by all. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> But for all her twisted cunning &lt;br&gt;<br /> And all her borrowed might &lt;br&gt;<br /> She failed to perceive the consequence &lt;br&gt;<br /> Of facing those two lovers bright! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And in her oozing hubris &lt;br&gt;<br /> That makes [[Zehira]] seem a lamb &lt;br&gt;<br /> Crept she to the empath's guild &lt;br&gt;<br /> To spread death and mayhem &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And there she whispered horrid lies &lt;br&gt;<br /> And promised freedom's death &lt;br&gt;<br /> Which reached the ears of brilliant Kaelie, &lt;br&gt;<br /> The one called Daemondred. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> While Geva's loathsome magic &lt;br&gt;<br /> Shrouded her from mortal sense, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Kaelie's mind was lucid &lt;br&gt;<br /> And found she quick [[Constanze]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> A thought to her nearby husband sent &lt;br&gt;<br /> The lord of war and spells, &lt;br&gt;<br /> To lie in wait for Geva &lt;br&gt;<br /> Whom she soon would then expel, &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And Kaelie told good Constanze &lt;br&gt;<br /> 'Geva is within &lt;br&gt;<br /> Banish her with your magic, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And she will fall to Mazrian!' &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Constanze wasted not a second, &lt;br&gt;<br /> For few she trusted like bright Kae, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And uttered words of magic &lt;br&gt;<br /> And sent Geva on her way! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Blasted onto the Crossing street, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Geva barely raised her head &lt;br&gt;<br /> Staring at her like a starving wolf &lt;br&gt;<br /> Was Mazrian Daemondred! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Lighting crackled from his fingers, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And storm winds stirred his hair, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Geva lept then to her feet, &lt;br&gt;<br /> But 'fore she could seek her lair &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> The elements were upon her, &lt;br&gt;<br /> From Mazrian's deadly hand! &lt;br&gt;<br /> Cutting winds they gashed her fur &lt;br&gt;<br /> And lightening lept at his command! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Geva, in that moment, &lt;br&gt;<br /> For all the dread she'd wrought &lt;br&gt;<br /> Learned that all her machinations vast &lt;br&gt;<br /> Would soon all come to naught! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> For the courage of two lovers, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Who long had grown in trust, &lt;br&gt;<br /> In walks through all the vales and hills &lt;br&gt;<br /> Found liking turned to love - &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Proved again, and for all time &lt;br&gt;<br /> That all the threats and murder cold &lt;br&gt;<br /> Wrought by those without a heart &lt;br&gt;<br /> Will by true love be overthrown! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And so the skein of history &lt;br&gt;<br /> Receives a gorgeous span &lt;br&gt;<br /> From the love of brilliant Kaelie, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And her Mazrian. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> ===Return of the Stars===<br /> ''Context: Written after the rescue of [[Navesi]], [[Ayrell]], [[Miskton]] and [[Mazrian]] from the [[Heralds]] and published in [[Berries &amp; Ink]].'' &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Lonely was the sky, bereft of those luminous children &lt;br&gt;<br /> That ever through the heavens danced in bright array, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Stolen, like the luminaries of the world below, &lt;br&gt;<br /> By ancient powers of a forgotten age. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Held, but not forgotten were those glor'ous stars, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And folk who for their dauntless courage bright, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Seeking boldly the gods' good order to restore, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Bereft of hearing, touch and sight. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Yet memory lived of those bright lights! &lt;br&gt;<br /> Nor did the gods of those who yet remained, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Mourning the loss of ones they loved, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Forsake them to a hopeless fate, &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> For above there wove like tailors' thread &lt;br&gt;<br /> Through the lightless fabric of the night, &lt;br&gt;<br /> The scorpion of the Void's High Lord, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And into lonely cells a portal pried. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Where like a crashing wave of Nature's wrath, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Came those who will to force not bow nor scrape, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Who risk their souls for life and hope, &lt;br&gt;<br /> And whose valor helped their friends escape. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Amid a flaring, brilliant burst of light, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Those, once taken, now were free! &lt;br&gt;<br /> And above the sparkling banner spread &lt;br&gt;<br /> Unfurled by faith, by love, and daring deeds. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> ==Hymns==<br /> ===Hymn of the Raider===<br /> ''Context: Composed after the raid on [[Maelshyve|Maelshyve's]] Fortress organized by [[Anduwen Watch]].

&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Soon we faced the dreary crossing &lt;br&gt;<br /> Of an ancient, ill-wrought bridge, &lt;br&gt;<br /> Where the song of bright [[Navesi]] rose &lt;br&gt;<br /> And each felt her spirit lift! &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And other powers stood not idle &lt;br&gt;<br /> As minions bent the knee &lt;br&gt;<br /> For there are some who never kneel - &lt;br&gt;<br /> Who stand upright and free!
