**Appearance and Personality:** Mendoryn wears long rose-blond hair, always tied in the back. His skin is particulary pale, even for elvish standard, and his eyes are of a clear ocean blue. Even though he may seem quite tall, compared to a human, and his stature may seem strong in his ample robes and elaborate Stone-mage armor, Medoryn's constitution is fairly frail. The aelf is of a quiet and refined nature, which may lead others to think that he may be a bit pedantic, or even stuck-up. In reality, he is a very caring and empathetic man with a temper that may turn fiery under the wrong or right circumstances.

**Backstory:** Mendoryn was born in a family of the Ymetrican high-society. While most of his relatives are high ranking servants of the state, his mother (of whom he bears the family name) is just a scholar, versed into the restauration of old texts and his father is a mere musician, born in a family of low-standing. He would have probably followed their steps and become an artist or an intellectual if his extended family didn't have a say in his future.

Since Teclis, god of magic is the patron god and warden of the Lumineth, mages tend to be particularly highly regarded in their society. Having the gift of magic is considered a sign of power, nobility and even good moral character. It is impossible for modern elvish society to imagine a noble family without its fair count of powerful mages. Sadly for the Anh Savin family, they seemed to be devoid of a gifted practionner of the high arts which significantly halted their rise into elvish society.

That was until Mendoryn was born. From a very young age, he expressed a particular talent for the practice of magic. He wasn't a genius by any metric, but he was gifted enough to become a skilled mage in his time. As soon it became known, the rest of the family jumped on the occasion and pleaded to his parents, uncaring of the politic machinations that caracterize the aelvish society. They would have let their beloved son choose his own path in his own time if the researches of his mother and her position in the academic world didn't depend on the will and financing of the family.

To accomodate their lust for social ranking, they sent the young Mendoryn to a school of geomantic magic, highly regarded field in the Ymetrican society, as soon as his basic education was done. He said his goodbyes to the warmth of the familial home and went on a long trip to the remote school of the young mountain of Azdarak. There, he was introduced to the mysteries of the lore of the High Peaks and learned of the famous mounatain spirits.

His apprenticeship went well, despite his yearning for the lost family home and the relative isolation of the school. As he was about to finally become a confirmed stone-mage, a tragedy stroke the school. The mountain spirits are physical and magical manifestations of the elemental currents of the mountains of Hysh, on which stone magic depends. Each mountain has its Mountain spirits that regulate the magic of the mountain. The young mountain of Azdarak was no different in that matter except that it was a good showcase of the strange lifecycle of these creatures. As they are manifestations of geological formations, they're not born through sexual reproduction but through their "expulsion" from said geological formations. They are born when a gem, their "birthstone", comes from the heart of the mountain to the surface. Mountain spirits then exist in an uncorpreal form until they reach a certain age and strength that allows them to physicaly manifest, at which point their birthstone become part of themselves.

The young mountain of Azdarak has been chosen to host a school as it is the location of the birthstone of the local mountain spirit. Stonemages have the task to protect and study mountain spirits : teaching to the new generation is incidental to their practice. As Mendoryn almost reached maturity in his studies, the birthstone of the spirit of Azdarak got stolen, and his keeper went missing. The school was shaken to its core as the mages essentially failed their main mission. The mages immediately started an investigation. It turns out that a suspicious group of humans was seen at multiple occasions, trying to reach the peak of the mountain and that a portal directed to the realm of Chamon was open in the sanctum. It is assumed that these men are at the service of the devious Cypher Lords, human servants of Tzeentch in the realm of Hysh and that they stole the stone to fulfill some kind plot that also required of them to kidnapp the keeper.

That news broke the spirit of the geomancer. The realm of Chamon is vastly out of their reach and they are needed in Hysh. None of them could be spared to be sent on a perilous extra-planar rescue mission, even if that meant that the spirit of the mountain would remain lost in the hands of the servants of the lord of change. Ultimately, their pride prevailed and plan was formulated. A mature apprentice would be sent to Chamon, someone that could be lost without troubling the rigid society of the Lumineth but competent enough to have a big enough chance to retrieve the birthstone to appease the mind of the defeated chance. Mendoryn was chosen for this task, as he's not as noble as his peers, but maybe talented enough to succeed.

Mendoryn has no choice but to risk his life to prove himself, to come back as a hero among his kind. He will defy death and chaos, as he already went to end of the world and beyond to know what happened to the mountain spirit and its keeper.
