Born to be an heir for the Genthyra house Lanliss was always an oddball in his family and was regularly the Black sheep. Instead of pursuing magic and swordplay with his siblings he instead pursued alchemy. It was as a child that he played with chemicals and eventually found combinations that emulated the magical effects he was seeing around him. Instead of studying hard in spellbooks Lanliss worked through chemistry and the nature of the universe to pursue the esoteric and strange. With explosions coming from his living quarters on a more and more regular basis his parents threw him into the wild to fend for himself. He happily did. It was out in nature that he started gathering rarer and stranger ingredients for his stronger and stronger extracts and potions. Using a natural area he could create sticky bags, find natural cures for ailments and find ingrediants to make himself faster.
It was only when a retainer of his parents found him that he went home. There he learned of the deaths of his siblings in what was being called The Barbarian Wars. Saddened by the news he stayed to console his grieving parents. It was later that same year that Lanliss’ mother passed away, dying of a broken heart and with blood on her mind for the barbarians that killed her children. Lanliss’ father, Pelleus, clutched Lanliss to his heart harder than ever, becoming a shadow never far from Lanliss himself. When news of the Starstone impact reached the Genthyra lands and the planned escape using the Sovyrian Stone to get to Castrovel Pelleus became single-minded of a new goal, get Lanliss back to Sovyrian to continue the Genthyra line. This led to the purchasing of much equipment, old and new to protect Lanliss and make sure he made it to the otherside ready to make a new life for himself.
Lanliss was sad that his father insisted on staying where his wife and other children died, but promised to make a good life for himself on the other side. Once he was convinced of the rightness of this path Lanliss could not contain himself thinking of a whole new world, with new ingredients and concoctions to create. Gathering all of the gear Pelleus so painstakingly gathered for Lanliss stepped through the Aiudara and into Sovyrian.
