Fluff

Background

Golden rays sparkled against a Residiuum wind storm, creatures phased into and out of sight along the path. Level and Hannah made their way with a quick step, not a run, but not a walk either.

Blue bolts of energy snap just over the Eladrin couples head, singeing hair and leaving Level staggering. Hannah pulls her lover along, only fifty more feet to the graveyard, and the shadow crossing. Fifty feet dogged by a crazed Noble Eladrin.

Level had long been a member of the Shadar-Kai tribe on the other side, coming to their leaders aid when once a great Lich threatened them. Level had located the Lich’s Phylactery and destroyed it.

Hannah turned to see her husband now only ten feet behind, as she crossed the barrier. The rage splayed across Johmander’s face, was her last impression, before the sapping effect of the dark side took over...

Level was the first thing to come into focus, followed by the strangely pierced woman urging Hannah to push. Level grasped her hand, his eyes not really focusing. Then she saw her baby, lucid for a moment, Hannah made eye contact with Level, the two saw their creation... and then succumbed to their injuries.

Veruza, the Shadar-Kai midwife, watched as the family shared it’s first and last moment together. Adopting the boy, passing him her name, the shadow woman raised the child inside of the dark sides gloom soaked walls. Encouraging to live with vigor or fade, Veruza trained the boy night and day, until the little Eladrin acted more like a Shadar-Kai than a Fey.

Veruzak Choru’Skate reached proving age quickly, as the Shadar-Kai measure by deed more than years. Veruza took the war trained wizard to an appropriate island in the middle realm, in a place Veruzak had learned about, the Transitive Isles. She explained that The Laughing Gallows was were any great adventurer would need to start out.

Practically jumping through the portal, Veruzak started about establishing himself. Talking to the locals, wandering in the black market. Eventually finding and maintaing contacts to get some of the more exotic herbs for good prices. During his stay Veruzak made a goal of learning Goblin, due to an unpleasant encounter with a local Hobgoblin fellowship, protecting something Veruzak had no intention of harming...

Hearing that bigger money was to be made being hired on in Daunton, the larger city, Veruzak jumped the nearest ship to town. The Laughing Gallows had given the shadar-kai raised Eladrin a hard edge, and a hard reputation, but did not fill his pockets. Without money, it would be difficult building his legacy, or finding the person responsible for the slaying of his parents.

Upon reaching Daunton, the Eladrin wandered into a simple building, laying in a warm courtyard to rest after the boat ride. Upon coming out of meditation, several monks who had patiently waited around him, asked Veruzak a long series of questions. The Monks of Mireva had come to a conclusion, both they, and Veruzak, were ignorant of enlightenment. And that Mireva had hidden it...

This vexed Veruzak, he had thought Magic was the answer, but the Monks had alleviated him of his naivete. Now his bare ignorance seared his nerves, Enlightenment would be his, no matter where Mireva had hidden it. He decided to start by creating an arcane society, The Institute for Arcane Ciphers. Pooling the intelligence of many accomplished casters, Veruzak would be at a hub of possible clues to enlightenment. The IAC's stated purpose would be to "Protect the public interest". If a member were asked how the group accomplishes this, answers may vary from, "Solving problems", to "That's Confidential", and anything in between.

Before starting the arcane society, Veruzak strolled down to the docks area, where he enjoyed some wonderful bread and street entertainment, ending in his arrest. Apparently some of the herbs from Laughing Gallows are not allowed on Daunton, and the Red Boots don't want trouble with the guard. Branded a smuggler, and miscreant, Veruzak was sentenced, 2 years of house arrest. When asked, he confessed his only home in the city was the temple of Mireva. The spells were placed, and Veruzak was transported to his new home.

Veruzak Choru’Skate engaged the Monks, and the Monks engaged the Wizard, debating history and arcane enlightenment, arguing the teachings of Mordenkain, and Tenser, Bigby, and Evard. Discussing the nature of reality, and it’s comparison and contradiction of Illusion. The temple of Mireva was a fountain of theoretical knowledge.

Before The Eladrin Wizard had noticed the years had passed by, his spellbook was filled with ritual and spell alike, detailed. Yet he could not understand how to channel the power. The recent vandalism to the Temple stirred Veruzak, reminding him of his criminal offense. His house arrest no longer applying, the eladrin wizard stepped into the streets of Daunton, and toward his arcane society's future.

After entering The Hanged Man, and finding an unusual concentration of Magic there, his hopes of starting a base of power, and furthering his goals in the region, were looking up. After recruiting his first two members, Veruzak teleported into The Drowned Man to look for other potential members.

Appearance and personality

Age: 137
Gender: Male
Height: 6’
Weight: 167 lb.
Alignment: Evil
Deity: Mireva
Personality: Overconfident, Brash, and Vibrant. Veruzak seeks to build a lasting legacy, a legend to be passed through the ages. Mireva has hidden his means to that end, and in finding her out, he hopes to also accomplish other life goals. He has a severe distaste for the fuzz, the watch, the constables, or any other law enforcement officer. (he considers even the Red Boots to be an enemy.)
Physical Description: Pink pipe smoke wafts wherever Veruzak walks, the odd combination of herbs being smoked creates an aroma that lingers in the wizards wake. Deep orchid robes with smoky pink accents, adorn the Eladrin, and shadows cradle his personage. On the rare occasion his hood drops, his face is a tapestry of tattoo’s, Purple ink tracing arcane marks across the Eladrin features. Magenta orbs peer from beneath heavy lids, constantly vigilant, scrutinizing existence.

Region

Shadow Realm - Mother and Father died at birth, raised by Shadar-Kai

Isle of the Laughing Gallows - Pirates, Kenku’s, best black market around...

Temple of Open Hands Eyes and Minds - Monks, Debates, Dialectic.

(Taking Background -Arcane Agent- Choosing to make Stealth a class skill)

• Veruzak is firmly entrenched in the Temple of Mireva, and seeks self enlightenment.
• Veruzak dislikes anyone that aids Law enforcement. (lawful good, or lawful evil, you're on Veruzak's nasty list.)

Kicker

• Recently released from house arrest at the Temple of Open Hands, Eyes, and Minds, for a charge involving an herb not permitted in Daunton.

• Began an Arcane Society, currently trying to build followers. No stated purpose has been released, Veruzak hasn't informed the members of the societies over-arching goals.

• Searching for clues to his parents murderer, more out of curiosity than vengeance.
