About Shiprudo

Shiprudo was raised in a small village at the base of the Northern Range of the World’s Edge Mountains where he dreamed of becoming a powerful wizard. He thought his dreams shattered when his village was ravaged by plague, leaving the six-year-old boy alone with a small handful of survivors. While scavenging for food, Shiprudo and his band found themselves beset upon by a tribe of orcs and were rescued when a squad of dwarves came down the mountain seeking the orcs, knowing nothing of the plight of the humans until that moment. The dwarves offered Shiprudo and his fellows shelter and employment back in the caves.
It was there that he met Kinzoku, a wizard from far-off Tian Xia who was seeking rare metals for his experiments. Kinzoku took a liking to young Shiprudo, and the boy proved to have a latent talent for magic, so he trained him in the arcane arts while they traveled towards the Inner Sea. By the time they had entered Absalom, Kinzoku declared that Shiprudo’s training was complete. The elder wizard introduced his protégé to the people of the Lantern Lodge, where Shiprudo has met numerous new friends.
