Zorariel's page

Zorariel is one of the Forlorn. His parents died in Ustalav, in the city of Carrion Hill. Zorariel was only young at the time so the mayor herself adopted Zorariel. Finding out how his parents had been killed was Zorariel’s first mystery.
Growing up in a predominately human town was hard for an Elf. His classmates swiftly outstripped him in size and it was in the intellectual fields where he held his own.
Zorariel did well enough that he studied at Leipstadt university. There he was a dilettante, holding his own in many fields, and encountered Professor Lorrimor.
The Professor was teaching a basic introduction to spellcraft, and noticed that Zorariel was quickly becoming his star pupil, showing a significant talent for Magic. Given the Leipstadt disdain for magic the professor suggested Zorariel pursue the field in more conducive surroundings, writing him a glowing recommendation for the Arcanarium that somehow failed to mention the havok wrought by a dangerously curious Zorariel when he was experimenting with crafting techniques.
Zorariel did well at the Arcanarium, but his adopted father’s money was not endless, and Zorariel had limited earnings. Eventually he finished his apprenticeship and left.
Before he left, however, he came across references to an “oldest magic”. A magic old before the Aboleths came to Golarion. Bravely (or stupidly) using a ritual in a near-ruined Thassilonian spellbook, a ritual that was referred to even in those long-ago times as ancient, Zorariel made contact with something. The knowledge he acquired all but destroyed his sanity, but flooded his mind, body and soul with ancient power.
Groetus-haunted dreams led him back to Ustalav and the ancient, twisted, haunted ruins of Casnoriva. One of his companions never returned, but Zorariel did, somehow surviving long enough to find a second stage to the ritual, and a reference to ancient city.
Determining that the ancient city is in fact the one located in the Crown of the World, Zorariel learned a number of useful spells, traded in most of his equipment for the supplies to build boots and a cloak to survive, and headed to the Crown of the World.
There, in the dark endless winter of the Crown of the World he became lost when his compass became unreliable. Running out of food he desperately headed away from the desolation. Starving, faint and hungry he finally encountered an Irrisen raiding party.
Zorariel demonstrated his occult power - marking him a valuable slave - but was faint enough that he did not survive the raider’s witch’s command to sleep.

Zorariel’s mind was strong enough - barely - to retain some grip on sanity when he ascended. His grasp of academics is advanced, but his sudden flashes of pretenatural intellectus leave him bordering on omnicognent. Combined with his knack for divination and foresight the result is a half-mad academic who seems to know everything.
