Calocis Fellshade

## Biography

Calocis was raised under the earth within the chief hidden sanctuary and dwelling place of the dark god’s most devout servants. There he was raised to serve and revere the **Nightbringer**, and trained to carry his will far afield to the infidel races of the surface. As a whelp, Cal was a studious and pious follower of **Nyarlaexedum**, readily absorbing the knowledge and teachings passed down by the clerics of Night.

On one dark Midsommer’s eve, shrouded thieves stole into the citadel and abducted Calocis alone, spiriting him away to the world above. The time he spent there is all but a mystery to him. Emissaries of the dark one pursued and snatched Cal back from the clutches of his captors, returning him to the depths and the dark. It was there that all memory of his time on the surface was scrubbed from his mind.

Not long thereafter, Cal began to hear voices, and see visions with his waking eyes. Believing these to be some portent of Nyarlaexedum’s will, he sought the guidance of the enclave’s spiritual guide, the **Oracle of the Deep**.

Cal met with the Oracle in his sanctum. Hours passed as the hallowed un-light of the cavern stones wheeled overhead. None were permitted audience with the Oracle save by invitation, and always alone. This meet was no different. Guards posted at the entrance to the chamber recalled only hearing the sound, like thunder clapping from behind the heavy iron doors, and rushing in to discover their Elder struck dead, his body a ruin, his blood staining a young Cal’s hands.

Panicked, Cal professed his innocence despite the evidence, to no avail. By the skin of his teeth, he escaped and was forced, once again, to venture up to the surface, all the while doggedly pursued by his former fellows, charged with a crime he claims not to have committed.

Word soon spread of all that had transpired. Some whispered of prophecy. Many of the faithful have since rallied to Cal’s cause, to which he holds no allegiance. In his mind, he is innocent, and is seeking some way to prove it, hoping beyond hope that the answer lies somewhere under the sun. And all the while, the visions and the voices persisted, coaxing him along an ineffable, inevitable path.
