[SBLOCK=Background and History]
Cyrial had never openly rejected the essential philosophies of the Shadar-Kai, but at the same time he had never been able to embrace their love of ruin and death that most Shadar-Kai clung to passionately. Instead, Cyrial felt disconnected, alienated. He had a strange wit and a bleak sense of humor that made itself known at odd times. Other Shadar-Kai called him 'feytouched', and while they did not completely shun him, neither did they grant him much respect.
No one knows why Sehanine chose Cyrial. Perhaps she had her eye on him for years, perhaps even before his birth. During a Shadar-Kai raid, Cyrial was separated from the rest of his party and chased by human warriors into a temple of Sehanine, who miraculously hid him from their wrath. While the goddess herself did not appear, the sign of her blessing was obvious: a pair of mysterious black gloves that appeared on his hands. Try as he might, Cyrial could not remove them.
Cyrial's relationship with his goddess is an odd one. He never asked for her patronage, but at the same time he can't help but feel that he and Sehanine happen to be a perfect match.
Cyrial tries to keep his otherworldly heritage hidden, using his hooded cloak to keep his face (and his obviously inhuman eyes) pooled in shadow. Many civilized races have good reason to dislike the Shadar-Kai, so he tries to keep a low profile. He isn't always successful, though, and often needs to leave town on very short notice. Recently, the hostile attentions of an elven paladin forced Cyrial to consider traveling across the sea. Seeking to cover his trail, and to gain free passage, Cyrial posed as a Cleric of Melora, slyly convincing the captain of the
Silver Swan that Cyrial's presence would insure the vessal's safe voyage.
Then the
Swan crashed.
Did his clerical impersonation draw Melora's wrath? Did Sehanine decide it would be amusing to throw him into a tricky situation? Did the Shadar-Kai feel this would be a good time to get rid of an embarassing outcast? Cyrial is plagued with the inescapable feeling that the wreck was somehow his fault. Now he feels guiltily obligated to help his fellow castaways to survive and somehow make their way home. But if they uncover his lies and expose his true identity, will they be able to trust him enough to accept his help?[/SBLOCK]
[SBLOCK=More Background / Relationships]Cyrial managed (through sheer luck) to bluff his way into a free ride aboard the Swan, but he wasn't convincing enough to secure himself a private cabin. Fortunately, the Dwarven Brothers agreed to allow Cyrial to share their room. The oldest brother is suspicious, but hasn't figured out that Cyrial isn't really a cleric of Melora. The middle brother quickly saw through Cyrial's ruse, but hasn't said anything; he enjoys pretending to be very curious about the Meloran religion, asking Cyrial all sorts of religious questions and laughing behind his beard as the young man fumbles to improvise answers. The youngest brother doesn't appear to care very much about Cyrial at all.[/SBLOCK]
