About Soryan DirgeAncestry:
The first of his line born without visible evidence of the Infernal Bloodline of his great-grandmother, and the first male child of the line, Soryan Dirge is a symbol of Elven Light from tragic Darkness. But the young surname of the line remains, and Fiendish blood still flows through the Wizard's Soul.
His twice-great-Grandfather was one of a cadre of Warpriests of Calistria who, for their Goddess and Queen Telandia, brazenly stormed Arch-Devil Belial's Infernal court on the 4th Circle of Hell, along with Silver Dragons and Paladins of Iomedae & Ragathiel. The gambit sadly failed, and Soryan Dirge's ancestor was enslaved. A brave rescue attempt was hastily planned, a suicide-mission in reality. But it met with some pyrrhic success. The Erinyes 'Mistress of Torture' was captured and it was discovered that she had violently impregnated herself with Elven seed-- Soryan Dirge's ancestor's. Destroying the Hellish Erinyes, they rescued the infant: Soryan Dirge's great-grandmother. Required to live far away from Iadara or even a larger, cosmopolitan city such as Greengold, The Dirge line hails from western, rural Kyonin, in Lethaquel. Background:
Born and raised in western Lethaquel, Soryan Dirge showed an immediate curiosity to scholarly magic, and was quickly deemed a prodigy.
He did not show any of his mother or grandmother's Tiefling traits, superficially appearing fully Elven. But the memory of Elves is long, and his Infernal heritage followed him like his name of lamentations. Luckily, Lethaquel was remote and small, and both Kitsune and Catfolk communities nearby meant Tiefling Elves could live among fewer prejudices than in more traditional Kyonin communities. Soryan Dirge spent much of his youth in Avennara and in Siavenian, studying magic and the Elf Gates there. Lord Villastir of Siavenian, however, was not accepting of Soryan Dirge as a student, nor even as an Elf. Nonetheless, the powerful Diviner was something of an idol to the young wizard. At 18 Soryan Dirge took an opportunity to study Wizardry in Ustalov for 18 months. It was both an eye opening, and eyes-squeezing-shut experience. But it broadened his knowledge and prepared him for an adventuring career in the service of his Queen, as cloistered life did not appeal to him. Soryan Dirge took his early quests in Tanglebriar and Witchbole, of course, as well as in Ustalov, and even the dreaded WorldWound. Now a far more accomplished, 26 year-old veteran of Arcane missions, Soryan Dirge was thrilled to visit Varisia, ancestor to the Ustalov people, and home of the lost Thassilonian Empire. And was eager to help The Lantern Bearer's in their quest to liberate Celwynvian -- for him it felt almost personal. Moreover, finally Soryan Dirge has earned the respect and trust of Lord Villastir of Siavenian, and has joined The Lantern Bearer's. Now, facing a mission in the Underdark, the Drow-infested Darklands beneath the ancient Elven home of Celwynvian, Soryan Dirge hopes he he chosen. Soryan Dirge doesn't believe in suicide missions. He has fought monsters in Witchbole, terrors in Ustalov, and Demons in the WorldWound. He is ready for the Drow of Zirnakaynin! Campaign Role:
As a Wizard in combat I'm definitely a "squishy" with a poor AC and low HP. My spells are a mix of blasting type (fireball, lighting bolt, magic missile), or area-control (Black Tentacles, Create Pit, Stoneshape), or mind-games (hold monster, charm, lots of illusions) -- what I do not have are Buff-Spells (NO Haste, Enlarge Person, Bull's STR).
And my PC really shines in out-of-combat arenas. My Bluff is a +26 and I love to talk my way into getting more and more information from my enemies. I also have a +17 Diplomacy so you can count on me to want to roleplay with the NPCs in order to gather information, gather information, and gather information. I am also a massive Knowledge Skills guru, with most Knowledges well into the +20s. I like to know about the campaign around me, and learn all its secrets. My Perception is not so great (+6), so I rely on my fellow Lantern Bearer's to notice when villainous Drow are sneaking up on me.
