Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amazing Triangle" data-source="post: 3642962" data-attributes="member: 39939">The story this thread helped me writeNuyrim was born into a rather affluent family in the capital city of Suln, the capital of the city of Correl.  After being schooled in both military and magic ways, he found that he had a paunch for the divine arts.  He lacked one thing that the others had, a true belief in the gods existence.  He believed that there was a divine power, but he wanted proof of its existence which none of the clerics could provide.  He stayed with these men of the cloth, because their extent of books on multiple topics kept him interested everyday for weeks and months on end.  Very often the clerics would find him passed out from either hunger or thirst in the library. After almost 50 years of this, Nuyrim, happened upon a spell that he had never seen before.  He moved out into a courtyard of the monetary and tried his new spell.  He felt like his body was being torn nearly in half, the pain causing his vision to go white.  Suddenly he was on a wide street, in a very crowded market place.  A women whose beauty was beyond anything he has ever seen, strolled up to him and asked where he was from.  Nuyrim, not accustomed to interaction, he stumbled and stammered in front of this beautiful lady.  They quickly became friends, and were soon wed.  Nuyrim found that the books in his new place, Sigil, were filled with much more information.  He spent many days walking with is beloved cataloging all the creatures he encountered, using her knowledge, to write his many books.  He loved it in Sigil, the many factions, the way “people” interacted with one another, and, last but not least, his beloved.  Though he did find he missed the sky and sun that he had had as a child.  Nuyrim quickly found a faction, Fraternity of Order, this group of “people” believed like he did, that knowledge was power.  He learned a lot of their libraries and from their many and varied members.One day an event came along that changed Nuyrim’s life forever.  He was away with one of the members of the Fraternity of Order, when he returned his wife was gone.  He searched for weeks; using every connection he gained in the twenty years he inhabited Sigil.  After one month he had gathered enough information to find that something or someone had taken and killed his wife.  He still was unsure of the reasoning but he had to bring her back.  He spent thirty years searching through texts, he found there was a reference to Correl containing a way to bring back those who were dead, but how to get home. Nuyrim, used his connections to make a deal with a demon for some knowledge that he had acquired.  The demon begrudgingly allowed him to pass into the Outer Planes, The Gray Wastes, from here he employed his shifting spell and made his way back to Correl.  He appeared out in the middle of an ocean.  After what felt like days, a ship happened upon Nuyrim and brought him aboard.  When he reached Durgarvan he was barely alive.  After weeks of recovery he learned of the Griffonclaw Sages, who collect knowledge.  Nuyrim cared little about his collected works so out of his portable hole he poured volumes out on to the front lawn of the Griffonclaw Tower.  This was enough to give him entry into the order and allow him access to their banks of knowledge.  He spent many days and nights sleeping only 2 hours each day going through every book that the tower had at their disposal.  He had to find a way to raise his beloved.  He began to search ruins and abandoned temples in the area trying to find a glimpse of what it was he needed to bring back his beloved.  His earnest turned into an obsession a need.  He after a few years of searching found out that there were a group of beings that were changing the world by finding Elder Races and killing off of evil spirits, but it was the rumor that one of their group had been brought back from the dead, not only that restored to her original body.  He must find the being responsible for this he must know if he could bring back his beloved.</blockquote>
