==Background==
[The sound of burning rockmoss] was just a normal fire archon doing boring normal fire archon things, but then some non-archon creatures showed up and killed everyone who was in charge! (And a lot of archons who werent in charge, which [the sound of burning rockmoss] felt was a little unfair). Apparently these strangers came from a far away place on another plane called "Athesia". [The sound of burning rockmoss] hadnt heard of Athesia, but if Athesians got to go to other planes and have epic adventures toppling regimes and taking anything that looked important, well, he couldnt really blame them, no, he wanted in on this deal!
The next year, some more of these Athesians were wandering around, trying to impose their civilisation and belief structure on the archons of the Elemental Fields. Now, [the sound of burning rockmoss] wasnt particularly interested in the politics of it all, but these Athesians were offering him a chance to leave the Elemental Fields, experience endless new places and things, and start a new life doing whatever he wanted. It was time to set out for adventure!
When [the sound of burning rockmoss] reached Athesia, he was initially kept in a large camp full of other archons like himself, he wasnt allowed to leave the camp "for his own safety, and the safety of other Athesians", which seemed like a lame excuse, but thats the way things were. [The sound of burning rockmoss] had to attend orientation classes to teach him about his new home, these seemed to be equal parts warning that Athesia was dangerous to archons, warning that archons were dangerous for Athesians, and explaining that the Athesians were perfectly justified in trying to merge the two societies. [The sound of burning rockmoss] didnt care for the warnings of danger, after all, it wasnt adventure without a little risk, but he did learn a good few things in his time in the training camps, things like [the sound of burning rockmoss] wouldnt translate into "the Common tongue", so he was given a new name, and the world met "Sparky" for the first time.
After many months of attending tedious seminars and lectures about new places, but not actually being allowed to see them or go there, Sparky was finally ready for graduation. Presented with a magically fireproofed "Illustrated Guidebook Of Athesia", Sparky was free to do whatever he wanted and go wherever he pleased, and thus began several years of capers and hijinks with absolutely no supervision or oversight at all. Sparky loved it!
Following one particular string of unexplained fires and a mob who figured out that buckets of water were much more painful than wooden farming implements, Sparky found himself exploring the God Cursed Mountains (or thats what the Guidebook called them). Sparky figured since the mountains were cursed and all, some pretty amazing adventures had to be waiting for him, so he set off looking for the first thing that seemed like it needed his personal intervention.
A few days passed, and Sparky thought he was doing pretty well, he had learnt how far away to stand from pine trees, convinced a mushroom farmer to pursue his dreams, and even helped a group of raucous orcs level an encampment they were clearing, presumably for some future development. Then things changed, little white flakes started coming from the sky, which kind of stung a bit but werent really a problem, except Sparky's Guidebook advised that it would get worse and that blizzards, really, were a problem. The Guidebook recommended wearing thick animal pelts and finding shelter, since Sparky had neither pelts nor shelter, he decided to take things one step at a time and start with searching for animal pelts. It took over an hour to find an animal (most of whom, already owning pelts, had proceeded to step two: finding shelter), but Sparky discovered that the mountain goat's fur did indeed burn well, and would probably keep him going for most of the day, though the goat didnt seem to wish to share.
Late into the evening the blizzard was still going strong. The goat had stopped being so argumentative several hours ago, and was now becoming a dark black colour, which Sparky could only assume was some form of defence mechanism against the white of the blizzard, but despite this, things were not looking good. It was cold, everywhere was covered in white powder that hurt when you pushed through it (it probably had a name, but Sparky didnt feel like referencing his Guidebook right now), and the goat's pelt was not providing much warmth any more. It was at this moment that Sparky met Krunk, in an encounter that would later be referenced to Swirl as "Found talky goat fire", Sparky found a way out of the blizzard, and Krunk found ... talky goat fire.
Sparky enjoyed staying with Krunk, Krunk took him to a place called a tavern, where Sparky found lots of liquids that didnt hurt, but instead burnt really well (he particularly liked duergar ale, which apparently wins you friends when you consume a whole barrel of it). When Krunk stopped by a few weeks later and told Sparky that he was going to Athesia "to smash stuff and party", Sparky decided he had to come along, after all, what better place to have a new adventure!
