Oris

__NOTOC__
Uncle Oris was a hunchbacked priest of great power (level 14), who was once a kindly and gentle priest of John (Terrin). The party first finds him he is working the town of Corbhen, to the south east of Valesburg, where he is said to have cured a plague. He was trusting and merciful even to those that would harm him, and greatly averse violence and death.
After being turned over to Dalamar by the party, Oris becomes corrupted.
Through some dark magic he becomes the chosen of god of Death and Destruction, Voraci, and begins to view people as weak and deserving of death. Oris is no longer a hunchback as the power of his god flows through him.
==History==
===Oris's Early Years===
Much of Oris's past is unknown, only he was born a hunchback who became a Cleric of John. He would travel town to town doing great feats of healing and caring to all who needed them, earning him a reputation as a kind soul. 
===Dalamar's Capture of Oris===
Dalamar, who had some unknown interest invested in the man, requests that the party retrieve him from the town of Corbhen, seemly as a replacement for Sir Brightblade in his plans (Rollplay Legacy: Episode 12). They agreed in an attempt to finally end their debt and sever their ties with the evil wizard. They found him easily and Vincent convinced him to travel to Valesburg under the false pretence of healing a plague there.
Upon arriving at the tower of Dalamar, he was very affected by the aura of the place. Tudagub attempted to use command 'Follow' on him to force Oris towards the tower. When the spell failed, Vincent used Tudagub's declaration of 'thief' as a reason to carry Oris into the tower. The trusting man kicks and screams the whole way, feeling betrayed by people whom he had considered friends. Once inside, Oris was shocked and collapsed in a heap, panting. Dalamar soon arrived and welcomed him, saying he had need of Oris's services.
===Oris's Corruption===
When Oris was next seen, (Rollplay Legacy: Episode 17), he was wearing a black robe and was now a Cleric of Voraci, the goddess of Death and Destruction. He asked the Rollplay: Legacy party to kill a certain black dragon in the Black Water Swamp to lift a curse on Dalamar. When the party had almost killed the dragon, Oris appeared in the swamp and got the killing blow upon the dragon with a Rod of Lightning.
In late 1500, the Rollplay: Legacy party find's Valesburg empty and are approached by Oris. He claims to have dealt with Dalamar, along with the citizens of Valesburg, with some "help". The Bannerless Army had appeared out no where and were under Oris's command.
Oris's motivation was to destroy all those weak enough to be destroyed by him, with world domination being the ultimate goal. Oris, as Voraci's Chosen, was assigned the task of trying to bring the Avatar of Voraci into the world directly, with himself being used as the vessel. 
Oris gives the party them one chance to escape due to his apparent lingering fondness of them. (Rollplay Legacy: Episode 29)
===Expansion of the Empire===
Oris's Army of Voraci contained humans, demi-humans, species usually regarded as monsters, as well as were aided by Chromatic Dragons. These forces quickly expanded across the Western Kingdoms of Solum. Oris's hunchback became far less obvious during this time. (Rollplay Legacy: Episode 39)
Lord Morrow, a General in the Army of Voraci, was given the Dragonbane Weapons to hunt down the Metallic Dragons. However the Lord Morrow eventually began hunting all Dragonkind, including the allied Chromatic Dragons. Lord Morrow's was so effective that soon no dragons remained in service of the Voraci Empire, and within an decade, all Dragons within the Western Kingdoms of Solum were considered dead or fled. Lord Morrow's actions were considered one of betrayal and madness by Oris and the other Generals.
Without the Dragons backing Oris, the Army of Voraci expansion slowed down. Oris around this time outlawed magic users (Divine and Arcane), and any magic user was executed upon being discovered. The only exceptions were those who served the Army of Voraci.
===War against the Central Kingdoms===
In 1520 Oris entered a 50-year-long protracted war against the Central Kingdoms, while he consolidated his control over the Western Kingdoms.
Oris assigned the eastern expansion to Lord Kelbourn, who was Lord Morrow's replacement. The Longborn Kingdom lead the coalition Central Kingdoms against Lord Kelbourn. 
===Post-Death===
Oris dies of old age in the year 1570.
He is succeeded by the remaining Voraci generals, who begin to fight internally over who should have the ultimate power over the Army of Voraci. (Rollplay: Solum Episode 14)
The Avatar of Voraci was on the battlefield with Lord Kelbourn's army with their final push against the Central Kingdoms, however after the battle was lost and the Avtar of Voraci was prevented in participating, the army was routed and retreated.
This led to the three remaining generals, Lord Kelborn, Lord Ferrus, and Lady Vivek directly fighting one another who should take over the empire. This led to an internal civil war. Lord Ferrus ended up the final winner, but he was forced to leave the weakened empire as the Central Kingdoms advanced as well as uprisings occurred.
A short few years after Oris's death, the Empire of Voraci was no more.
