Duran is a member of the Dragonmarked House Tharashk. He has lived in Sharn in the kingdom of Breland his entire life. Over the years, he has traveled to other House enclaves for training. As part of his training, he has taken part in a few expeditions to locate large fields of dragonshards. Although they were not usually successful, they did serve as valuable training in locating items of value.
As is sometimes customary, Duran’s parents had set up an arranged marriage with his distant cousin Tarra Velderan. They first met when they were still just children. Since then, they have seen each other several times. While Duran liked her as a friend, he did not love her. He felt he had no choice but to marry her. Duran didn’t want to marry someone he didn’t love
Duran’s life changed when he met a nice young woman named Adele Ennes 2 years ago while attending a show in the entertainment district of Sharn. The two of them struck up a conversation and ended up going to dinner after the show. They saw each other a few more times as friends before they mutually decided to take their relationship to the next level. Duran felt something for Adele, possibly love. It was an emotion he was not familiar with.
After Adele and Duran had been dating for 3 months, she confided to him that she had been keeping a secret from him. She revealed that she too, was a member of a Dragonmarked House. She had not developed a mark herself but, she revealed, her mother had a powerful one. The two of them had a long talk about their situation. Neither one of them wanted to end their relationship but they both knew that their families would not approve, especially since Duran’s parents had set up an arranged marriage.
Unknown to the young couple, someone did see the two of them together and reported it to House Tharashk. Duran’s parents confronted him about the relationship. He admitted to them that they were in love. His parents were livid. They forbade him from ever seeing Adele again. Duran and his parents argued about this for some time before Duran stormed out to go find Adele. He was surprised to see 2 Warforged standing guard outside her apartment. They refused him entry into the apartment and kept repeating that Adele was not home.
Duran knew he could not get past the guards and returned home. Once there, his parents told him that ‘That Girl’ was being sent away for her own good.
Heartbroken but wishing to get back into the House’s good graces, Duran decided he needed to do something extraordinary to improve his standing in the House. Growing up, he had heard rumors of powerful lost artifacts and schemas in Xen’drik. He formulated a plan. He needed to get to Xen’drik and investigate these stories and rumors. Logically, he knew that many others had likely already tried to find these items without success. That didn’t stop him though. He was convinced he needed to investigate the rumors of lost artifacts and massive fields of dragonshards waiting to be discovered. He believes that if he finds something of great value to the House, they will look favorably upon him. If he increases the wealth of the House enough, he thinks they might allow him to renew his relationship with Adele. If not, he might have to leave the House and elope with her, assuming she hasn’t been turned against him by her family.
Recently he booked passage on a ship traveling to Xen’drik. He had no idea what awaited him there. He only knew in his heart it would be exciting and beyond anything he had ever experienced previously. [/sblock]
