Ignatius Saurwind

Ignatius Saurwind was a Mousefolk Cleric currently involved in the exploration of the continent of Ahlus.

## Backstory

Ignatius Saurwind, a curious mousefolk that lived in Bloomshire at the edge of Firefly Forest, came from a family of fools. It was easily said that the Saurwinds were troublemakers, thieves even, and they carried with them a reputation for bad luck. Ignatius hated this legacy. He wanted nothing more than to be force of good in his town, but all the mousefolk ever saw in his eyes was deceit.

It was for this reason that Ignatius often travelled beyond the borders of the village, venturing into the tall, elder trees of the Firefly Forest, and seeing just how many of its namesake he could find. It was easier to stay away from the village, most days, and keep to himself, helping what creatures he could find. One day, however, he came upon a ruined tower, made by men, and alight with flickering candles. Ignatius searched through the tower but no one lived there it seemed, and so every day he ventured here.

One day, as he visited the tower, a candle in its deepest, darkest place spoke to him. Be a force for good, the candle said, as the wider world is full of evil things. Ignatius had lived his whole life in Bloomshire, but the candle spoke no prejudice to him, and promised a wide world in need. It was then he decided to leave Bloomshire and the Firefly Forest, and eventually, in his travels, he found his way to the new world of Ahlus.
