Dyrnas Firesight was a terribly misunderstood child from the Grey Elven Haven of Azenspire. A spindly and ugly Elf, he was reviled cruelly by his fellow children, some even questioning his heritage,so ungainly and homely did he look.
Then, one day Relphrim the Red, Wizard of the Duke Azen took the boy as his Apprentice. Things changed as young Dyrnas learned. The other children stayed clear of him, except for the few who sought to curry favor by befriending the Wizard's helper. Far from hating them, Dyrnas pitied them for the ignorant behavior that they had shown, determining that he would not fall prey to the xenophobic and bigoted view shared by so many of his reclusive kin. It was late in his 67th year that Dyrnas began having the Visions .
Already down the Path of the Diviner, the young Wizard began to see things in Fire, Visions and Portents. Whether a campfire, a torch or a blaze among a burning forest, Fire revealed things that others could not see.
One day last Spring, while conducting an experiment, a Vision appeared in the flame of the Crucible in Rephrim's Laboratory.
A city blackened by a Taint , the Folk dropping like plague victims. Dyrnas looked deeper and he saw signs, familiar things. It was Ptolus, a city that he had visited 10 summers prior. Something Evil lurked there. Then, he saw a figure among the Ranks of the Folk. A Lizardman, irredescent scales gleaming in the pale sunlight. The lizardmanand and several others fought against unseen Foes amongst the masses of Plague-Ridden folk.
Dyrnas felt compelled to go to Ptolus, to seek these folk out.
Borrowing a fast horse, the Wizard rode pell-mell to the city, anxiously searching for the lizardman. Weeks went by, with no sign of him or any ofthe others, and then one day he spotted this Lizardman in the street... Dyrnas had Pledged his services to Verakka, in whatever endeavors needed to stop the Evils of the Banewarrens. Hopefully, the group that accompanies Verakka can acomplish their goal before the city is overrun with whatever Foulness lurks below.
