--------------------
A desert elf hailing from Osirion, Ried (shortened from Riedel) Wil o' Wisp as he calls himself has spent the major part of his life searching for something other than the Brightness. Exasperated by his kin and impatient (as far as elves go) with their sit around and wait nature, Ried set off on his own shortly after adulthood and hasn't looked back.

Ried's family name is Solpedina and translates loosely as Sunwalker. Nomadic for elves, they were free with his upbringing allowing him to experience many things as a youth. The wizards and alchemists fascinated him early and combined with a yearning for adventure that had some questioning his parentage, Ried immediately got into a heap of trouble exploring nearby tombs, ruins and other areas that rumor said hid mysterious, arcane things

His adventurous nature and desire to find something special drove him away from home. No tragedy befell his family and they are likely still healthily plodding along with their lives, but Ried wouldn't know, he hasn't stopped to think about it.

Somewhat personable, but highly independent, Ried can get caught focusing on things with a level of determination and a lack of time sense that only the long-lived can express. Not particularly fond of fighting, he has a great distaste for the undead, garnered from years of encountering reanimated "Book of the Dead" corpses, raised by the necromancers of the desert region he calls home.
