Background: Yvra was once a slave to his own avarice and pride, seeking nothing but gold and shining gems. Archmage Goodwin exposed him to many teachings and paths, but quickly saw Yvra’s affinity to Sarenrae, and encouraged him in that direction. Sarenrae's connection to the Sun and Light appealed to the wyvaran. The Dawnflower’s disciples suggested that the shine of gold and gems were naught beside the shining light of the dawn, and soon Yvra had found a purpose (and a way to fight back his own urges toward greed and pride): to serve the Dawnflower, bringing compassion and redemption to those who will except it...and a swift blade or arrow to those who will not. Yvra still feels the temptation of his own greed--and when he does, he does his best to quell his weakness by focusing on his devotion to the Everlight.

Misc notes: Yrva will focus primarily on archery and expects to take on the Phoenix Champion PrC (when he gets to 6th level...and the PrC is--hopefully--out of beta or near enough. His goal (apart from rescuing Goodwin) is to prove his worthiness and ability to resist his natural impulses toward greed and pride. He’s trying to hide his nervousness about being back out in the world--and the temptations it will bring.
