Though the scorching sun of Athas is unforgiving to all who trek across the sands, the Sea of Silt is perhaps one of it's most merciless landscapes, home to not only a dry expanse as far as the eye can see, but also to monsters of gargantuan proportions, the horrible and ever-present threat of the Gray Death, and vicious, roving bands of pirates preying on the silt skimmers that try to inhabit the gray dust expanse. But perhaps its most fascinating, and most dreadful feature, is the rising cults that venerate the God-in-the-Dust, the Dust Kraken, the Mouths-of-Thirt: Ul-Athra. Sourcing many of this region's most brutal and malefic crimes, the cults stop at nothing to try and rouse the eldritch beast out of its eternal slumber, and use the great monster's power for their own ends.

And it was out of one such rite, that a single Mul child was born. Fathered by a cult obsessed with the plane of Earth and convinced that it was the Dust Kraken's home, the cultists bound the essence of Earth to an infant still in its doomed mother's womb. With shining sigils written in the Terran tongue deeply carved across his complexion, Magnus was birthed among the folds of the cult, the fate of his mother and whatever father had given him life unknown to him as he spent his early years learning to control stone.

But this would not last long, for one day, the cult's hiding place among the archipelagos was raided by a band of silt pirates, tipped by a stranger that it contained a multitude of riches, ready to be... appropriated and sold off for great profits. The battle was bloody, chaotic, enough for the frightened child to escape and stow away as they fled the cult's headquarters, its fate unknown to the Mul who only wanted to run away from the treatment he received there.

Orphaned and without a home, but very capable of fighting and running when necessary, the Mul stowaway survived on scraps he could steal while jumping from port to port, ship to ship, for a few months after the assault on his "home". He finally found some semblance of peace after one such skimmer, after finding out about the child's presence within their vessel, found it fitting to toss him overboard and into the many meters of dust below. And as the crew sailed away from the shores of the Tyr region, thinking they had gotten rid of a pesky intruder in the meanwhile... Magnus used his latent geokinesis to carve a path through the silt and into the shore. Exhausted, but finally free of the sea's many dangers, he'd finally be able to lay down on the beach, underneath a setting sun, and rest his tired spirit buried among the only thing he could rely.

The next years passed like a breeze compared to the endless struggle he suffered at the Sea of Silt. Managing to find some guard work in traveling caravans due to Magnus' strange ability to sense vibrations in the ground and warn the rest of the soldiers of dangers coming by, he'd continue to travel the land and refine his connection to the land as he met the last bastions of civilization, one by one. It wasn't until his thirties that Magnus had decided to settle down in the northern city of Kurn, at first hopeful about its restoration project until he saw that his abilities could be useful in bringing about a new Athasian Blue Age. Putting his skills to use, Magnus earned a respectable position within this effort as a so-called "Earthshaper": he was responsible for finding precious metals to help fund and make equipment for the project, either by digging deep within the earth or by upturning the dunes and buried ruins of old Athas.

Though his geokinetic skills were plenty to both find and recover these metals, there were times when Magnus had to rely on his strength to accomplish his mission or defend himself in the meanwhile, being recognized as a powerful warrior alongside his position as Earthshaper. Thus, while he waited for orders to upturn more earth in search of metals, Magnus settled on taking mercenary contracts to earn some extra ceramic pieces when he could. One such job, was to guard a caravan to Guistenal and back, and to accompany the trades as they negotiated with a dragonborn or other. Simple enough, not his worst job or his best one either, it'd do as a good downtime activity.
