===History===
Yakult Eidelweiss was a tiefling with a brilliant mind who herelded from the beastly land of Visvara. As a young man, he was granted the opportunity to take his studies of the ocean abroad - to further his personal and professional understanding of life. Yakult didn't have the money for this and so he came to a metaphorical crossroads: he could either stay in Visvara and be the smartest amongst what he thought of as a dimwitted populous, or he could take out a fantastic amount of loans to pay for this new chapter in his life. He settled on the latter. Yakult soon found that the world outside of his home was far more daunting than he could have ever imagined. The people all had a certain edge to them and it wasn't long before Yakult started to lose his wonderous nature. His studies were still going great, but as the interest on his loans started to pile up and his life became more stale - his visvaran whimsy began to vanish from his eyes. That was until he met the ever brilliant and always beautiful, Maria Cornrow, a human woman who reinvigorated Yakult's love of life instead of making him feel unwelcome. She made him feel alive for the first time since he arrived in this new country. This newfound love showed in Yakult's work and as soon as he graduated from his school with a PHD in Nautical history and religion, he proposed to and married Maria. They were the envy of all. Two brilliant minds from the same field of study tackling academic challenges no one else dared to face. They soon found themselves moving into a coastal home that was bestowed unto Maria after the passing of her aunt, Nellie Cornrow. Not long after moving in, Maria found she was pregnant. Life was good and they were both happy. This was until they heard a knock on their door late one night. Yakult carefully opened the door and before he could react, he was on the floor. In front of him stood a 7ft tall individual. "Mr. Eidelweiss... did you really think you could take our money and live a peaceful life elsewhere? We gave you the benefit of the doubt, we really wanted to believe you'd do the right thing and pay us back. But we've waited a long time and your interest has only grown. Our network reaches far beyond Visvara. I mean, our company is literally called Visvaran Loans International - it's in the name bro. Gather everything of worth you have and meet us at the café tomorrow at 12pm sharp. We'll assess just how damning your situation is then." As soon as the man left, Yakult got up on his feet and began packing the bare essentials. Maria had no clue what was happening but Yakult told her to pack light and she did. Though she was heavily pregnant and due to give birth at any moment, Maria packed up with the speed of a Visvaran racehorse. Yakult knew that even with everything he and Maria owned, it wouldn't be enough to settle his debts. The people over at VLI had let him go this long without paying so that they could trap him. With their clothes and research gathered, as well as some food, the couple went out the back of their house to the pier, where they took a two person rowboat and took off. They didn't know where to go or what they would do. As far as they knew, VLI were a company that had their fingers in all the pies all over the world. After a few days of travel, Maria gave birth on the boat. The child was the most beautiful thing either of them had ever seen. They named their son Clancy. Maria was a strong lady, but even she couldn't manage to stay strong after giving birth on a rowboat in the middle of the ocean. She held her baby for as long as she could and then she passed away from her injuries. Yakult, not knowing what to do and not wanting to see his newborn child die because of his mistakes, called out to the patrons of the sea. A baby blue Wisp appeared after hours of prayer and chanting. Yakult immediately stowed his and Maria's research in Clancy's coddled blanket and offered his son to the ghost of the ocean. "Take him. He'll die out here, my wife has perished already. Get him to land, get him anywhere but here. He is yours, most beautiful patron of the sea. Do with my son what you must, just keep him safe." And with these words, Yakult had made a pseudo-warlock out of his son. Bonding him to a patron of the sea and sentencing him to a life of servitude with the Wisp. "And one more thing", Yakult pulled his journal out from his coat. "There will come a day when he seeks understanding. This will provide him with the answers he needs. Proof that his mother and father lived. That they loved him." The Wisp let out a comforting hum and gave Yakult the peace of mind he was seeking through this telepathic hum. "Your son will grow up safe and loved. I will not interfere with his life until he is a man. You have my word, and my word is sacred! You can trust me for I am Glaucus, a patron of the sea and a protector of lost souls." And with this final message, Glaucus took Clancy Eidelweiss and brought him to the closest landmass possible - Visvara. Glaucus settled on leaving Clancy in the coastal town of Shorran. It was relatively peaceful and the surrounding location was ripe with good people and farm land. Clancy would be safe here. Glaucus brought Clancy to the doorstep of a middle aged couple who owned a small ranch. Clancy had nothing except his blanket filled with the research and journal of his father. Scratched on the front of the journal right underneath Yakult Eidelweiss' name was a hastily written message that read 'For my son Clancy's eyes only.' Glaucus let out a resonating hum so as to wake the couple before dispersing. Janice and Jeb Goatcalf opened their door and saw the baby boy in dire need of love and support. They immediately brought him inside and knew that he was theirs to raise. The Goatcalf's saw the collection of writings and deemed it best to hide what they couldn't understand. They thought Clancy wouldn't need this until he was grown and so they stowed the books away in the bottom of a barrel in their cellar. For the next 18 years, Clancy Eidelweiss (now going by the name Clancy Goatcalf) would grow up oblivious to his past or the fact that he was technically a Warlock due to his father's desperation. He did always find it strange that he was technically a tiefling and yet both of his parents were human. He just assumed that he was the product of an affair that his parents worked through. Clancy lived a very fulfilling life working as a ranch hand for his "parents", and yet, when he looked out to the sea - he swore that he could feel it humming his name. Like he belonged elsewhere. He could feel the need for adventure flowing through him as easy as his own blood. And on Clancy's 18th birthday, this call to adventure would rear its head in the form of a Wisp. Glaucus burst through the Goatcalf's front door and before anyone could panic, he hummed and eased the tension. He told Clancy that he was his patron and that now Clancy was of age, he could finally make use of him and grant him the powers he was granted on his birthday. He told Clancy what had happened on that fateful day when his father gave him away. This was all too much for Clancy who couldn't believe he was an adopted child despite the fact that he has small horns, slightly red skin and devilish eyes! Clancy demanded that Janice and Jeb give him his father's books and as soon as he got them, he got what clothes he could and stormed out the house. Janice called for him, "Clancy! Please, think this through. You have a life here. We may not be your birth parents, but the love we hold for you is just as true. Please son..." Clancy walked back and gave each of his parents a warm hug and a tender kiss on the cheek. "I'm not angry at either of you, but I wish I would have known who I was supposed to be sooner. Clancy Goatcalf lives here...but now I need to discover who Clancy Eidelweiss is. I love you both so much. Goodbye" And with that, Clancy Eidelweiss set off on his own to find out who he is supposed to be.
