backstory: Nyrrin the Dark Elf Warlock
Nyrrin is from the City of Baestrelix. Baestrelix was founded fifty years ago and then was destroyed three years ago. A blink of an eye in the lifespan of a Dark Elf. The City was built in the caverous limestone depths of the Southrin Mountains. Following the terrible event called Gherivoninacht, during the cataclysmic dragonkin wars twenty years ago, the mountains themselves were destroyed, becoming the Southrin islands which pock the Inland Sea between Dinnae and Gavin Wel. Baesrelix was a ruthless matriarchy, one where males were often killed for their uselessness. A civil war continued to rage in the City of the Spider Soul, between the followers of Lolth and the followers of the Elemental Eye. In an unprecidented moment of empathy, Nyrrin was gifted a warlock’s binding spellbook by his grandmother before she died. The power therein enabled Nyrrin to rise in the ranks of the young army of Spider Souls. He was assigned to an Ythbet, a party of warriors, who were to explore the Island of Belach Na, searching for the device called the Gherivon, the tool that was used to destroy the Southrin Mountains. When exploring a ruined hous at the south end of the island, a place known as the Mansion of the Dark Goddess, the Ythbet was sacked by a brigade of terrible golems made of fire. All in the Ythbet were killed, save Nyrrin. The young warlock was chained up in the study. The Spirit known as Ithmay loved to torture the dark elf, and did so for weeks before Nyrrin stopped responding to her cruelty…
This is where his new life begins.
