## History

They vaguely remember the kingdom’s founding, being seven at the time. Grew up between Monacoil and the shores of Loch Glas (a different village to Marvin). Their parents weren’t home often because of their jobs in Monacoil. Irnas was more or less raised by their older sister Gloria and their neighbours, also learning to look after their younger sibling.

Were absolutely fascinated by rain, but once they witnessed their first major thunderstorm in 1582 at age 12 they were hooked. They also nearly got struck by lightning, which activated their magic. This only increased their enthusiasm, and their magical focus revolves around storms. Joined the Mages' Guild at 16 and spent some time trying to chase storms, using their magic to read the wind and find out where storms would be. However they were usually too far away and by the time they got there, the storm would have passed.

They then settled in Monacoil and covered their roof in lightning rods and weather vanes. While they wait for signs of storms they research whatever takes their fancy. Sometimes just experiments with element manipulation, although has to be careful with lightning, because fires.

They received their traditional mage mask in 1590. It mostly retains the natural colour of the wood it's made from, and is in the shape of a cat's face, with stripes shaped like forks of lighting. The eye holes are edged with grey, the same shade as Irnas's eyes, and the edges are the deep purple of a storm cloud.

They do not like the mask, they see it as a worthless tradition and a waste of space. (Potentially given to Vio Stormcaller?)

They met Nimbus when a thunderstorm finally hit Monacoil in 1600 and they were so excited. They’d been following it all the way to Monacoil and ran out to watch it arrive. The pouring rain soaked them to the bone and they ran along the streets, following it. They slipped on the wet cobbles and hit their head, causing them to black out for a moment.

When they came too they realised they didn’t know where they were, they were wet and freezing and there was no one about. That was when a tortoise shell cat appeared, and led them home. Irnas just wanted to collapse in bed, but the cat wouldn’t leave them alone until they had got a fire going and wet clothes off. This cat became their familiar, Nimbus.

They mentored Ivy Paris from July 1602-December 1602, and taught her how to adapt to all hours working, put out fires, and activated her magic. They also gave her her notebook, an opal white leather bound journal with a belt to hold it shut.

In September 1604 they found Ivy in Monacoil and took her back to theirs to recuperate. She left again in January 1605.
