Rhanviel was always good at finding things. The woods were as a map for him in all his days, and no prey could pray to any deity to keep them from becoming morsels for the young Lurenathi. He was born to a touched clan among the forests, the Thuvens. When the demon lord Rhevagaath was unbound into the realm, the Thuvens were among the first clans to take up rigorous arms against his destruction of the home Sibilune gave them. Rhanviel was right alongside his family's spirit of fight, but his father and three sisters were at a loss. Too much power was pressing in against the Lurenathi forces, and even the weaving of the whole swath of clans was not enough. So the Lurenathi took council and told their youth to go forth and search for a power greater, for aid against the horrid Rhevagaath. His father told Rhanviel to go, for he was well suited for the task, and as he was commissioned, his father ignited him with the touch of the Myst.
Since then, the young Thuven took north, to the hovel of the Alatheen, Andara, seeking knowledge against the dark ones. He learned well, but inside of his pursuits, he also found there were terrors at hand other than the demon lord in his forest. He met with the Andaran Lions, and they told him of the black dragon who neighbored both Andara and his own forest. The mystborn forces at hand filled Rhanviel with questions: was this war related? Could the One Eyed destroy Sibilune's forest without her children being ready? He decided to see it for himself. He ventured into the ugly fray, and as he saw the hordes of Mystborn, and the power they held, he became certain that there were secrets there which could aid him in his war against Rhevagaath. He committed himself to finding these secrets of the Myst, and also, to the Andaran Lions, for several years. And he saw terrible things befall. Within these days of war, there were many a time where Rhanviel needed to shift in order to escape certain death. All but one such incident, Rhanviel was caught. Such things were alien to most of the Lions' forces, and some even thought him as a spy for the black dragon. He had no choice but to flee, learning scarce secrets for his family and the forest.
After a while of meandering, searching for the secrets of the Myst and the Gods alike, he found himself inside of Gelben. He had found a Mystweaver of many years, a Faun named Elsenhe'ir, who promised him an apprenticeship, for the right cost. Not knowing the ways of commerce and trade, it took Rhanviel some time to find sufficient income, but over time Rhanviel scored a job on a caravan team led by a man named Lambrecht. He hopes the job will pay enough for the faun, and that he will be able to one day destroy Rhevagaath himself.
