Seraph Itineran

Desert Attire

**Seraph Itineran** is an airborne member of the Rawaqi city-state. They are an avid explorer and keep a journal of all their findings, they specialise in the discovery and documentation of fauna within the world of Alveyra. His current body is 38 years old (Typically for his race they can go through at most 20 different bodies till they die)

## Short Origin

Seraph's life in Efthar was quite simple. Nothing too hard about travelling across the world collecting as much information about animals as he could, possibly one of the easiest jobs for Seraph with the ability of flight and whatnot.

## Arrival in Alveyra

Seraph first arrived in Alveyra via the tears that had started to appear throughout Efthar.

Seraph was on his way to the sacred forest, as he swerved out of the way of the colossal canopies of trees he was ripped straight out of the air by the rift. As he came crashing down through the tree line his leg got caught on the branch of a large winding tree tree, yanking it straight out of place.

Seraph had used that branch as a makeshift walking stick and headed north, which he decided using the geography of Efthar. He never would have guessed that he would end up encroaching upon a bustling oasis with gargantuan serpentine statues at the gates. As Seraph stepped through the gates he was welcomed by a group of citizens who asked where he had travelled there from, due to the pain surging through him at the time all he said was that he was from another land.

## Server Opening

For the short few months Seraph had spent attempting to recover from his new found disability (to no avail) he had spent trying to recover what may have remained of the shredded and charred pages of his Bestiaries.

He had almost lost hope on the thing he had spent his whole life trying to complete... Until... on the fourth and final book of Efthars fauna he had attempted to recover, he had realised that, as he was in a brand new world he could have no certainty that any of the creatures in his books still existed (besides the common types of which he had already encountered on his first day in the city). He had gained the inspiration to begin the research and categorisation of all of the strange fauna that call Alveyra home.

## The Rumours

In the last few weeks of his advised rest time by the Rawaqi hospital Seraph had gained the courage to finally brave the scorching heat of Rawaq. The citizens glares weren't too bad, they just don't regularly see an outsider walking through the city streets, among the whispers that Seraphs feathered ears had managed to catch were some regarding an obvious folk tale detailing gargantuan serpents that burrow beneath the dunes, but as usual Seraph couldn't write off such a magnificent find so easily so he started asking a few questions to the locals. But as anticipated the Civilians had nothing to say, completely ignoring every enquiry about such beasts.

On the other hand, the children were quite eager to tell him about the giant serpents that leapt from the sands like dolphins from the ocean. This had pretty much confirmed Seraphs suspicions, these reptilian rumours were just that, myths and tales told to children to prevent them from venturing too far into the desert.

## Acquisition

Almost a full year after Seraphs crash into Alveyra and he was finally able to walk without support, he had learned a lot from the Rawaqi people but still needed to fulfil his new found desire to explore and discover. But as a failsafe for if he was injured again he bought himself a tavern on the main road so that he could gain some extra income along with more rumours about any especially rare beasts. During his recovery time he had came across a young man called Zaid, his parents were guards of the city so Seraph had a rough idea that he would be responsible enough to run the tavern while he was away.

## A burning storm

Seraph had awoken to the echoing screams of the raid, he had not expected that the small scouting parties he had heard about would actually try and storm the city. He scrambled his way out of the building and started lift the unarmed locals to the roofs where they would be safer. As the infernal army started to scorch the sands of Rawaq, a large battalion of diamond clad soldiers surged through the Rawaqi gates. Hastily mowing down the raiders weaker infantry, Seraph was left completely astounded as he started to sweat from how difficult he had been finding even just the fragile ranged units. These foreign soldiers were obviously better trained than Seraph (him being nothing but a researcher after all). When the fire had finally started to extinguish, Seraph started to help the Civilians climb down. He had finally been shown the true meaning of monsters.
