Magorin Elvorix

## Biography

Magorin Elvorix, or Lord Magorin, was sent by [**FIXME: proper timeline reference here for Rexus**] to search the western shores of Caligo Lake and nearby mountain ranges for natural resources. While year long efforts to search for gold or other useful resources proved to be a failure, the then town of Oshen was forming as an effective fishing settlement. Lord Magorin was given the title Lord after [**FIXME: proper timeline reference here for Rexus**] had granted him official rule over Oshen, which was shaping up to be an asset to the capital despite it not meeting original planned expectations.

Trogs had always been an issue when setting up base initially for Oshen, and they continue to be a problem to present day. Lord Magorin frequently had to fight off attempted Trog invasions not only from the north-western edge of Caligo Lake, but also from the south from Bodor's Bog. [**FIXME: elaborate more here. share some stories of trog invasions**]

In the year [**FIXME: align to timeline accordingly**] Lord Magorin intended to plan an assault on the Trogs at Bodor's Bog in an effort to keep them from future invasions attempts. He assembled a company of warriors from Oshen as well as some of the Crusaders sent directly from Rexus Gloria. Many in the company were fearful of the bog. The heavy fog, the unnatural sounds, and the stench of death were all enough to cause even the veterans unease. Lord Magorin inspired his troops to continue on.

[**FIXME: Elaborate on first Trog sighting**]

[**FIXME: Elaborate on first takedowns by Succulor**]

Lord Magorin spotted where the Succulor were crawling off to, and for the first time had set eyes upon the Palumaga of Bodor's Bog. The Palumaga were a terrifying sight as they drained the blood from the sacs of the Succulor, leaving the demons nearly dead to grant themselves even more power. But unwaivering, Lord Magorin ordered his remaining troops to charge at the Palumaga while they still had an opportunity before all of the Succulor blood was drained.

What happened next not even Lord Magorin in all of his bravery was prepared for. A dark cloud formed around the Palumaga, engulfing them entirely until they were hidden from sight. A raging whirlwind of darkness under only the moonlight over the bog. But as it began to dissipate, the single entity that remained was otherworldly.

Varinoth, a demon of great power from the domain of Malvolius stood before them. It is unknown whether the Palumaga summoned it or Varinoth was somehow present in the bog under the illusion of Palumaga. One thing was certain--It would be the lives of the remaining company or the life of Varinoth that would be lost.

[**FIXME: explain the battle**]

With Magorin's Hew buried deep within Varinoth, the demon placed his hands hands on the blade, pulling himself closer to Lord Magorin as the flesh of its hands split open. It uttered:

[**FIXME: can we represent this properly with our language engine?**]

> "Sanguine ligatus eris. Maledictus a Palumaga."
>
>

"You will be bound by blood. A curse from the Palumaga."

With that, Varinoth's form swirled and spiraled into a black cloud until it evaporated into nothingness. Lord Magorin was victorious with his company against the demons of the bog, but the mission was an utter failure in being able to drive back the Trogs on their own lands. The remaining company pulled back to Oshen not having achieved their goal, but an enormous triumph over the darkness by defeating Varinoth.

It is said that Lord Magorin was granted a gift of life everlasting from the Asura of bravery, Bravael. His courage leading his company of warriors and Crusaders through the bog directly in the face of demons surely had appeased the Asura, especially after deafing an agent of The Darkness.

Lord Magorin was in fact not gifted immortality, but was rather cursed by Varinoth's final words. The Palumaga are bog hags that draw power from blood, and so Magorin was cursed with immortality that can only be fulfilled should there be enough blood.

## Magic

Lord Magorin Elvorix is said to have been granted the gift of immortality for his service to Bravael. This has kept Lord Magorin from aging any further while maintaining rule over Oshen.
