Myrindal Thesalor

=Bio=
Myrindal Thesalor is an Elven Scribe on a journey to travel the world so that he may discover what ancient secrets still lay hidden to find. Books, ink, and travel are not cheap however, and he found himself in the heart of human territories. To this end, he had offered his services to the crown of Arilaand as a scribe and made a living serving the then crown-prince of Arilaand, who was stationed out of Castle Leydford. After some Trials and Tribulations, Myrin simply acts as an Independent, fighting only to make sure the ones he cares about survive their quests of honor and retribution. The monsters in the dark only gaining his intrigue in his quest, for he is not fazed by them.
=History=
==First Impact, Leydford==
to be added
==Second Impact, Adwick==
Advisor Fallgrith appointed Myrindal to the position of Head Scholar of Adwick with Seravith serving under him, and forced them to work with each other. This caused some conflicts between the two that got to a boiling point rather quickly. 
Myrindal attempts to kill Seravith due to her threatening to "make sure all of his plans fail." This led to Myrin leading her to a battlement with his guards. The guards held her down as he tried to cut her head off; however the sword Myrin was wielding broke on her neck in a flash of light and Seravith disappeared. After this, and after retrieval of Seravith and under the direction of Lord Advisor Falgrith, the two began to mutually abide by each other forming a sort of friendship and some trust. But their relationship is tenuous at the best of times to this day.
==Badaria==
Soon after, Myrindal was told to get a group together to close the open archway that the group from Leydford had opened previously on their first visit to Badaria. Myrindal was able to convince Arn’s group to take the mission but only on the condition that Myrindal went with them. They worked begrudgingly together and managed to complete the mission to seal the archway, however the blacksmith Lucian passed away from his injuries sustained during the mission.
==The Shielding Stone==
Myrindal is given a stone from Falgrith for completing the mission to Badaria that allows him to negate one attack that would cause a critical wound per charge. He must have someone else charge the stone for him. 
Typically, Myrin would ask the Dryad, Iyendil, to charge it via her magical abilities. 
==The Gradian Councilman & The Medicine==
There was a Gradian Councilman that had come to Adwyick searching for his runaway bride. This runaway turned out to be the barmaid Quinn, whom Cade had been hiding. 
Myrindal told Cade to find a way to appease the Councilman to leave, otherwise he would have to step in. Which Myrindal did eventually lead him to where Quinn was in the interest of keeping Gradia as a trade ally to Ariland. This caused Quinn to attempt to take her own life instead of going with him but he thanked Myrindal for his service.
Shortly after this incident Myrindal stopped taking a medicine that he had been taking to help him deal with the guilt of Leydford. This was due to the fact that while on it he could think logically but it was making him hurt people he cared about due to it suppressing his emotions. After he stopped taking it he suffered withdrawals, but was shortly able to start feeling again.
==Cagovia==
The Cagovia mission had a lot of losses. A Druid has died and was possessed by the same Mushroom people from Season 1. She was spreading "Shroomlung" to the people in and around Cagovia. There was an Archway under Cagovia, in the ruins the party had decided to explore, and through the help of Torgrim, a duergar that worked in the scribery, they were able to seal the Archway. On the way out of the ruins, Torgrim and Arikir (previously known as Ulagi) fell to their deaths in the ruins.
==The Fall==
After Cagovia, Myrindal becomes very closed off from the rest of the city, not by choice but due to his new emotional vulnerability and an already widespread distrust of him. In this time of vulnerability, Quinn (played by Sprixer) becomes close to Myrin and he begins to spend more time with her and Cade Shilbrouk. He senses Quinn to be a cunning individual, and the only one to give him a chance in a city that reviled him, and hires her as an assistant scribe to help him with more discrete tasks. However it turned out that Quinn was an imperial spy, and in the night, steals some important Aarilandi documentation and flees the capitol, leading to Myrin being accused of working for the empire, losing his position as Head Scholar, his imprisonment, and subsequent maiming. Om top of this, he is barred from the scribery.
During his interrogation and punishment, Myrin loses his right ring finger, is stripped of all titles, and flogged. Afterwards, he was left homeless and on the streets. During Myrin’s homeless period, he was protected by the law from any harm others would bring on him for the crime he had already paid so dearly for. 
He began to withdraw from the world again, and may have left the city entirely were it not for Yrsa, who reached out to Myrin and offered him a genuine shoulder to lean on. One of the only true acts of kindness he'd experienced since coming to Adwick.
==The Caravan==
Yrsa, Myrin's only friend at this point as far as he is concerned, is tasked with leading a security detail for a caravan of much needed supplies. Myrin volunteers himself only to ensure Yrsa's safety, unbeknownst to her.
On a mission to escort a caravan from Gradiad into Adwick. This caravan is carrying supplies an “artifact” important to the crown. On the way through the mountains, the party meets Orcs and Spiders. During this fight Myrindal had faced a troll on his own and suffered minor wounds. His armor was crushed against his body. An elf named Ikelos traveling with the party was later shot by the same crossbow bolts and died of his injuries. The next day, the caravan was led through an active battlefield between the Imperial scouting company and Lord Godfrey’s army. Myrin and party had fought through the imperial company, suffering no fatalities. Going on a separate path due to a road block, they battled more orcs and drowners as they made their way towards Adwick. The party then learns from a group of traveling paladins that the currently missing Arn and accompaniment were last seen in Oakenbrook. 
During this mission, Myrin almost dies, taking a crossbow bolt to the chest. Miraculously, he survives thanks to the pressure applied to his wounds from the armor previously crushed to his body.
==Oakenbrooke Siege==
Leading up to the siege of Oakenbrooke, Myrindal is plagued with visions of Arnulf and Myrin’s other friends telling Myrin that “Sometimes a man needs to hit rock bottom on order to rebuild himself into the man he wants to be.” It is unclear if this was a hallucination in Myrin’s mind or words actually spoken by Arnulf and the others. Before the siege, Myrin confides in Jenson (played by Naomi), and confirms to him that magic is real, giving Jenson a magic potion. Jenson, in this moment, decided to believe Myrin and took the potion. 
The siege itself was long and bloody. Myrin was a part of the group that had headed into the center of the battle in the city. During one of many battles, Yrsa, a Beorning woman who had befriended Myrin, had become gravely injured and transformed into a bear. Myrin tried to help her in the battle but was dragged away. After the battle, Myrindal noticed that Quintus, a person new to Adwick at this time, was acting suspicious. This is to be noted for later. The city was under attack again so the parties had to hold out for a couple days. 
After a few days of holding out, the party was reinforced by Arn and his knights. They had been gone for quite awhile. Myrin, realizing this might be one of the last times he could converse with Arn, told him the truth about Falgrith. He tells Arn that Falgrith was most likely not human and can do magic. This is why no one could hide anything from him when near. Myrindal tells Arn why he did the things in Leydford and why he is scared of Falgrith. Myrin told Arn all of this because “I figured you deserve to know before you kill me.” 
During another battle against the Imperial siege, Myrindal noticed Quintus waving an imperial soldier onto his flank. When noticed, Quintus killed the imperial but not before the soldier said "What? Why... you were supposed to.." before dying. Myrin played the fool and thanked Quintus for ‘saving him’. During the final push for the city of Oakenbrooke, the party faced the Elector Count Du Clouth and a strange new soldier with a large mace. The party uses cannons to take off the arm of the Elector Count, forcing him to flee. Myrindal then saves the life of Gregor (link here) by giving him a potion. 
Once the city had been reclaimed, Lord Commander Merrigan had asked the party to take the Imperial camp and drive out the Imperial Army. The party successfully took the camp without any deaths. 
After the battling, Arn had taken Myrindal to the side and challenged him to a duel to the death. Myrin refused to fight Arn, saying that he wouldn’t fight a friend and he was ready to face his fate. Even when forced to take up a weapon, Myrindal would refuse to fight. Something happened to Myrin that only Arn could see, however Myrin could tell there was a type of magic happening around him. The spirit of Morgrim, a friend of Arn’s from Season one, had told Arn to stop fighting and the hammer from Mogrim that Arn kept had cracked.
==The Rune Stone==
Ironically Myrindal came into contact with another magical stone when trying to pick up his billhook from Yrsa. However this one was nothing like the shielding stone he had been given from Falgrith.
When he had only looked at the stone for the first time, it had carved runes of unknown origin into his right arm. This pains him gravely and still pains him to his day, though it is lessened through the efforts of the Lord Advisor. It takes about 1/8 of his lifespan when he uses the runes on his arm to power any source of magic. Doing so once before gave him a gray streak in his hair. 
==The Stolen Artifact==
The Black Serpents of Adwick steal a mysterious artifact from a caravan arriving in Adwick from Gradia. This artifact is said to help end the war by creating a miasma that would block off the Empire from invading Aariland. It would also trap all remaining Imperial soldiers in Arilandi by blowing up any Archways. 
==The Cradle of Isara==
Myrin then becomes involved in the investigation of the "Cradle of Isara", a cult that takes travelers and merchants on the road to and from Adwick. After some investigating, with the help of Rynn and others from the Church of Mythrax and a secret imperial sabetour, Quintus, they find that the Cradle is doing an unknown type of magic.
The Cradle of Isara, who we later find out is not connected to the Gradian goddess Isara, uses the blood of pregnant women to draw a circle for magic. They use the blood of other travelers they kidnap to then use as a type of "battery" for these cultist acts.
==The end of the Cradle in Adwick==
Myrin tries to put an end to the Cradle by tracking down a member of the cult (who also happened to be an acolyte of the Church of Mythrax) and asking them questions, in the hope that they would be cooperative. This is unsuccessful and Myrin then resorts to torture under the guidance of Auditor Gerard Dorst with the help of Rynn, and under the watch of the Warden (played by Gigabits) and Commander Osgood (played by Mr.Brunswick). With some successful rolls and some reasoning, we learn that the prisoner was working for the Magistrate who was the head of the cult within Adwick.
Unfortunately, Myrindal’s rushed plan to abduct the cultist who was posing as an acolyte of Mythrax caused an uproar among the people of Adwick.
This uproar leads to the eventual leaving of the Church of Mythrax. Myrindal is tasked by the Prelate of the church with investigating the potential imperial spy, Quintus. When Myrin refuses, having already exhausted all efforts to put Quintus behind bars and refusing to nurse what he considered the ‘wounded ego of the Prelate’, the church leaves the city of Adwick, and their paladins with them.
==Recovering the Artifact==
Lauretta Hartford and Myrindal devise a plan to get the artifact back with minimal bloodshed in order to save the country. The leader of the Gang, a man known as The Viper, asks for 12 suits of Adwick guard armor, a tablet to use an Archway and 12 horses. Talking to Osgood, Myrin gets the armor and a tablet. 
There is a bit of a roundabout on whether or not to give a real tablet or a fake that Myrin had made in the beginning of his stay in Adwick. Myrin wants to give a real one, so as to not cross the Viper and incur his wrath. He later changes his mind when he listens to a conversation between Arn and Gerald Dorst about Arn’s crown business. Myrin then decides to give the Viper a fake tablet so that Arn’s life would be safe if he is ever forced to use a tablet. He makes this decision confidently because he believes the Viper has no way of checking if the tablet is real or not. 
The Viper did have a way to check the tablet and in retaliation, kidnaps Lady Hartford. It turns out that the lady had been working with the Viper since the beginning and had made an arrangement with the Viper. She would get the artifact in exchange for her father’s life and the supplies for the Viper to leave Adwick. However Myrin never finds this out. Lauretta then drags Myrin to the dungeon in a show of loyalty to her father after she was kidnapped and attempts to cut out his tongue. She is stopped by the now Magistrate Dorst with a crossbow who also threatens her life. 
-Afterwards Myrindal goes along on a job to help bring back a caravan with some stolen goods. He finds the gang and the Viper with the guard uniforms and the items that he had provided to them. This ends in an altercation between the mercenaries and the gang. During the fighting, Myrin admits to causing the deal to fall through and asks the Viper to spare the others in exchange for his life. This only further infuriates the Viper, who vows to kill them all. In the exchange, Myrin manages to wound the Viper, putting himself on the Viper’s list of people to hunt down. 
-Soon after the Viper had fled from the battle, Rynn had succumbed to the Viper’s poisons and died. However Iyendil managed to somehow resurrect him shortly after. Myrindal sees him after this and gives him a hug, something uncommon to see from him. 
==Fairhollow (The City)==
Myrindal was summoned to Fairhollow by the Dryad Iyendil to prevent the empire and the cult of Isara from getting their hands on another artifact that was more powerful than the one taken from the Viper. 
Myrindal had entered the city with the party under the name Elwin. They split into groups to keep suspicions down. While in the city, waiting until the party had gathered in one location, Myrin met up with a merchant and bought some gear for the upcoming adventure down to the lake. He purchased Resin and Climbing gear, which he makes good use of. After some shopping he met up with Jenson’s mother, Jen, who he knew to be living in Fairhollow. Myrin promised to have tea with her a little later and went along to find the party to meet up. On the way he encounters the Triton Khidas. The party then gathered and met the Knight Commander Ser Checker and the Assistant Magistrate Antione. After being denied a request to go to the lake, the party was requisitioned to take down the Cult and Imperial presence within the city of Fairhollow. Thus began the investigation, with Myrin, Arn, Khidas and Gregor provoking some mercenaries connected to the empire to attack them so the mercenaries could be arrested. In this altercation, Myrin gained a major wound and it went untreated for a few minutes. 
Arn and Myrin then went to the library to gain some information. There they learned that Lord Wyvern was saved by Falgrith and another towards the beginning of the war and stated that he was an integral part of King Aeolus’ plan. 
The next day Myrin and Jen had met up with Jen to have some tea. Ther we learned a bit more about Jenson’s past and Jen asked Myrin to keep looking after Jenson. 
The party met back up with the Assistant Magistrate and were given another task. There was an Imperial raid about to happen on the roads to Fairhollow and it needed to be stopped. Myrindal, Arn, Kyler, Gregor, Christos and Tang went to stop the caravan and they had captured two Imperial scouts. On the body of the Commander of the caravan was a note stating that Lord Mildenhall was dead. Lord Mildenhall was keeping the lake closed off to everyone to protect the city from the “man eating fish people” that were attacking anyone who went to the lake. Arn and Myrin had taken one of the Imperial prisioners to the side and tried to torture him for more information about Lord Mildenhall. This was unsuccessful, ending with the scout spitting in Myrin’s face and being let go by Arn after Arn had cut off his ears. Arn justified this as some sort of show of solidarity to Myrin and the suffering the elves had endured under the Empire. This did not sit right with Myrin, however, as Myrin intended to do the job himself. He viewed Arn’s display as self-indulging and patronizing, and it acted as a sort of final straw on the camel’s back of kickstarting a change in an already unfavorable mentality towards humans and their shortsighted natures. 
==Fairhollow(The Lake Ruins)==
Myrindal and the party then venture down into the ruins under the lake, after climbing down in an underwater cave. The climbing gear that Myrin had purchased had saved a few lives before they had even started fighting. Khidas warns the party that they are being watched as they go through the caves. The party finds a doorway sealed off by a red-colored magic which they would discover was only opened by blood when Raelyn suddenly volunteered her own. When the blood was offered, clones of Raelyn appeared from behind the door and attacked the party. Many of them had told Myrin that “This was all his fault.” to which he agreed, and even made light of it in spite of the creatures. After the encounter, the sense of being watched was gone but in its place were feral Tritons that attacked the party throughout the cave. The group fought through flooded caves, a lot of them nearly drowning. They came across a set of ruins that were made of the same material as the Triton lost cities and fought a giant crab monster. It was killed by collapsing the ruins of an old building on its head. After the death of the crab, the attacks from the feral Tritons seemed to slow, giving the party more room to breathe and rest. Myrin had found some books in Aquillian and brought them to Khidas. The book explains the origins of the Tritons in the cave and their purpose in the cave. The party then met Connor Winter, an adventurer set to investigate the cave by Ser Checker, who was perfectly fine and had been battling the Tritons for three days, which Myrin found suspicious. They found a room that held women and children of the feral tritons. The party was torn between killing them or letting them be as they are in the ruins. Myrin just wanted to find the artifact and get out of the ruins and half-joked that they could just burn them all out with oil and torches. They ended up leaving the non-combatants in peace. 
They then found a magic staircase that looped on itself that only let the party through if they had closed their eyes and turned off their lights and walked through the door. 
The group then came across a crawl space that Myrin had climbed through first, not wanting to linger in the cave longer than he needed to. The group followed blindly, thus forcing Myrin to crawl all the way through the crawl space. After some crawling, Myrin found a dead end and after almost drowning, had the party crawl backwards to a small side passage. At the end of the crawl were more caves containing crystals similar to the ones found in Gilamoore that destroyed Tang’s arm in season 1. The party then rests for the night. 
Upon waking up after the rest the party moved forward through the ruins. Encountering more Triton, the party comes across a magical trap that affects everyone's minds. Everyone in the party had grown angry towards each other and had attacked each other. After the magic had faded and the party continued along,Gregor had gotten a critical injury and had failed treatment, thus losing his life. In the next room they encountered a Triton who had lived since the First Era. She told them that the artifact must never be used because if it did it would flood the country entirely. After Iyendil took it from her, the party had to run for their lives out of the ruins carrying Gregor's body with them. Thankfully they made it out and, on the way, back, had seen that Fairhollow had come under seige. The group got on to the wagons and sped off back towards Adwick. 
==The Fall of Adwick==
When the party arrived in Adwick, the Northman and Yrsa’s tribe had come to aid Adwick in the siege. The Northmen had made a hole for the party to get into the city safely. Everyone was taking shelter in the Church, where they treated the wounded. Myrindal then discovered the casket of Commander Osgood, he had died the day before. After some time and some relaxation, Myrin and a few others were summoned to the throne room by Lord Advisor Falgrith. The summoned party were taken to the throne room as cannon fire hit the walls around the castle. In the throne room, Falgrith spoke to the party and told them to go through the sewers under Adwick and find the Archway and to use the Artifact they had gotten from the Viper. Gilex had taken the artifact found in Fairhollow and sealed it so that it couldn’t be used by anyone. Falgrith and Gilex would follow the party down to ensure their success and for reasons that would be apparent later, this meant that Myrindal and Iyendil had to survive at any cost. 
In the sewers, the party fought Servants of ash after finding their way through the Serpent’s hideouts. After taking a few hits, Falgrith told Myrin to survive at any costs, “no matter how many corpses you have to stand behind.” Once at the Archway, the party met an imperial Archlector waiting for them. The party fought two Beorning servants of ash while Falgrith took down the Archlector. With both threats defeated, Falgrith drained the Archlector of his life force. As the Archlector died, more legions of Servants appeared through the Archway. Gelix then appeared with his “Element guard”, who were all warforged, and after defeating the legions left for the Institute in Gradia. After he left, it was time to use the artifact. 
Myrin and Iyendil took their places, and Iyendil started channeling magic through Myrindal, into the archway. Myrindal was instructed to throw the artifact into the Archway at the right moment. He threw it in, cutting all portal connections in Arrilaand and creating a miasma on the east side of the country. The use of the Artifact had drained Myrindal 150 years of his life force. Falgrith was surprised that he had survived and hinted that Myrindal may be able to wield great magic afterall, calling him by his first name for the first time. The group then exited the sewers and saw the effects of the Artifact. The firing against Adwick had stopped and there were sounds of fighting in the distance, the empire was fighting something else in the miasma. 
Fae had congratulated Myrindal on the job well done and Myrin responded plainly by saying that they had just killed thousands of people with one action. There were then screams coming from the poor and noble quarters, leaving behind mangled dead bodies. The ground then opened up and Rat men attacked the remnants of Adwick. Myrin could only sit and laugh until Arn put him up on his feet to fight. He fought until exhaustion and then rested in the Noble quarter, getting ready to leave for Leydford with Arn, Kyler, Haskal, Raelyn and Mordim to retrieve Morgrim’s bones from under Leydford. 
==The Way Home==
To be Added
==Third Impact, Gradia==
2 years after adwick, Myrin is now living in the coastal town of Nautis in Gradia, under the guise of merchant Vesryn Morgul, running the shop Quill and Blade.
= Attributes =
===Major=== 
Elven Scrivener: Myrin is a newly minted scribe, trained in an elven style of scrivenery. He can read, write, and converse in a number of different languages, and with time can perhaps translate those he does not know, including the ancient and arcane. He has a large repertoire of knowledge regarding the history of the world (through an elven lens), and knows the basic proper customs for most places he visits.
===Minor===
Lesser Noble of House Sylralei: As the second son of the Lesser house of Thesalor, Myrin is also a nephew to the head of House Sylralei. Being the second son of House Thesalor, he is not currently in line to hold any major appointments or prominent positions. Even still, his noble status and renowned pedigree passed down from his mother’s Sylralei bloodline does grant him a level of respect amongst those that recognize House Sylralei’s influence, as well as a small level of personal wealth, which Myrin has mostly dried up on equipment and provisions for his travels.
===Minor===
 Arcane Resonance: Myrin cannot explain why, but he occasionally gets an unusual tingle down his spine and a pull at his gut when in certain places or near certain things. While Myrin himself has yet to discern the meaning behind this strange phenomenon, it is in fact an uncommon gift inherited from his father’s side of the family - a primal instinct baked into his blood that sings out when in the presence of magic. (This ability does not tell him anything specific about what an item/place does/is for, nor does it hint at any schools of magic involved, only that something is magical.)
= Detriments =
===Major===
Esoteric Obsession: Myrin cannot turn away from the mysteries of the unknown. He must have every piece of the puzzle, and he is willing to risk life and limb to find them. No matter how many days he spends in the field or how many sleepless nights he spends researching, this obsession is never sated.
===Minor===
A Secret Scandal: Myrin was born with fairly typical traits for an elf, however he does not look like his father. In truth, his existence is the result of an affair between a half-elf/half-drow “servant” and his true-blooded elven mother Isilynor, who is sister to the Head of House Sylralei. It is a dark taboo and a secret known by only Isilynor and a select few of her closest confidants. Not even Myrin is aware of this fact. While adultery has always been whispered in the court, nothing evident has come to light as of yet. Were the truth to fall into the hands of certain members of the Elven nobility, notably his ‘father’ or king Aeiiendar, it would be dire for Myrin. If it ever escaped to the public, his and his family’s reputation would be ruined to say the least.
===Minor===
Corruptible: Due to his mired bloodline, Myrin finds himself fascinated by all things esoteric, dark or not. Much like how a scientist might cut up a cadaver to learn how the body works, Myrin does not see a moral conundrum in studying darker facets of this world, and indeed thinks it necessary in order to have a full picture of the way the world works. Although, perhaps this is just an excuse he gives himself to justify the unnatural pull he feels toward the darkness.
=Trivia=
*Myrin's weapon of choice, is the Billhook, however it is seemingly cursed, always leading him to the oddest of situations.
