Born to Eshrakim and Sherimah Felar, Cyrioul grew up near Totra in Osirion. When he was a young man of 15, his family apprenticed him to the wizard Selavar in Totra. The education was rigorous, to put it mildly, and he quickly learned to focus intently on each task at hand and ignore distractions.
He shared a mutual interest in the Mwangi Expanse with his master, and explored many of the vast jungles from afar, hoping to divine the locations of places of power hidden deep in the jungles. While the master kept the majority of the discoveries to himself, he did impart a good deal of knowledge of the area to Cyrioul.
At 22, Cyrioul married Sehna, a Keleshite singer and fellow scholar of the Mwangi Expanse. Two years later, Kharia was hired by a trading company to represent their interests in Eleder. She departed soon after, and Cyrioul made plans to join her as soon as possible. To complete his training, his master sent him on a final errand to work with a client in Corentyn, Cheliax. Cyrioul boards the Jenivere there, planning to join Sehna in Eleder.
Were Cyrioul to be an animal, he would likely choose the noble hawk, to better appreciate the view offered so high in the air and so sharp of vision.
