Sharian Naetris

Sharian Naetris, was an Elven adventurer, and member of the Otha's Rest Adventurer's Guild. He was found near Belkilka Desert with no memory of who he was. Becoming a magical trader allowed him access to spells to expand his knowledge and to search for any knowledge of his past. In the search Sharian had become a powerful Wizard. Often quick to talk and treat everyone like a person rather than resulting to violence, he has made an odd collection of friends along the way. Sharian was also noted for his passion for fashion and always rotating their wardrobe.

## **Background**

### **Early Years**

Work in progress

In 521 AOR (Roughly 30 years ago) is when Sharian was found half dead and unconscious, by a traveling merchant in the North Ridings close to Belkilka Desert on a dark and stormy day. He was found with very little on him other than tattered strange clothes, a rapier with odd designs on it and a huge wound across his chest.

A passing traveling merchant took him in to patch up. Talking to the merchant upon waking up it quickly becomes apparent Sharian had no knowledge of who he was or what happened to him prior to that moment. The merchant offered to use the name Sharian until he could remember what his name was. Traveling west it became clear Sharian had a knack for magic, seeing that the merchant showed him some of his wares from his traveling magic shop to test his limits. Sharian starts helping with the shop the best he can to thank the merchant for helping him out, showing him such kindness when he found him on the side of the road nearly dead. Several weeks of traveling later while camping one night the Mordan and Sharian were set on by bandits. Barely being able to fend off the bandits, Sharian collapsed from the ordeal but showed more than enough skill with a foil. Later in life Sharian became too precious about using that rapier due to it being the only thing that linked him to his past. Waking up finding drastically different surroundings to what he had grown accustomed to, Sharian walked around till he found Mordan who greeted him with ‘Ah your up son, how do you like your new home? If you get changed I’ll show you around the rest of the place’. Mordan introduced Sharian to his new home, Family and to the city of Sharnbury.

Over the years Sharian learns more about magic, swordplay and the ways of the mercantile life while trying to find leads on any information on his past.

### **Strange Trances**

Sharian is plagued with strange trances of strange things in the desert. Most commonly of a large structure floating in the desert with something magical under it giving off light. Sometimes it is the structure at night but mostly during the day but with no noticeable changes.

*Sharian has asked around over the years to see if anyone has any leads or information about this structure but nothing solid had ever come up until he joined the Guild. Since then he had found a similar structure that looked similar but with major changes to it's structure. Exploring the inside it seems that something terrible had befallen the inhabitants involving most things been turned to stone.*

Rarely a trance will come up of a strange monolith in the desert that has a black void floating in it pulling everything in around it. There is a figure standing in front of it looking up towards it as the sky moves overhead which is moving at a very fast rate.

A third trance comes up of a figure that looks like Sharian but slightly twisted stood in a inky black pool that seems to go on for as far as the eye can see. The pale sky shimmering off the dark onyx water. Hands reach out of the liquid around the figure and grasp up. The reflection from the pool never reflects the Sharian figure but a different figure with a glowing eye, It is never clear as to who they are or what they are doing. This Trance only comes up if the monolith trance has happened or not all the time.

### **Joining the Adventurer's Guild**

Sharian joined the Adventurer's Guild of Ortha's Rest in AOR 551 after his the wagon, he used for his travelling magic shop was stolen one night while he camped under the stars. Loosing majority of his trade along with his spellbook he headed to Otha's Rest to join an upstart Adventuring Guild that had been making a name for themselves in the West Ridings. 'Adventurers earn a lot of money, I should be able to get back on my feet quickly. Plus I may be able to find more spells to fill this poor empty thing up'.

### **Adventuring Life**

#### **Expulsion From the Guild**

In AOR 554 Sharian was expelled from the Guild after turning the Firing Squad down on their take over of the Guild in order to stop the Firing Squad Murders. The Expulsion of Sharian & Cassidy was just a ruse to try and make the Firing Squad believe that the Guild had bent it's knee to them. During this period Sharian had decided to come up with a new persona, a tiefling rogue of the name Vontuno Zola to keep an eye on the Guild in between Freelancing his adventuring.

The Guild House was sieged by a army of constructs by a benefactor of The Firing Squad, after the 'negotiations' went south. Sharian portals to the Guild House along with Ian, to help organise all available guild members to defend the Guild and Otha's Rest, luckily the constructs were more interested in the Guild than Otha's Rest. Taking a minute out to go to the negotiation location to quickly revive Rain who had been killed during the resulting fight. At the Guild House major damaged happened but had been patched up by Sharian before moving on.

## **Sharian's Spellcasting**

### **Spellbook Appearance**

A black leather bound book with silver moon and star motif decorating it. Under an arcane field Sharian's sigil appears across the cover along with other more decoration. The vellum pages are inscribed blue ink that shimmers with the glisten of crushed gemstones. The book has been rebound countless times to accommodate more pages for the vast knowledge constantly being collected. The ritual spells have been organised to the front for quick access.

### **Spellcasting Foci & Spell Components**

Sharian uses a spell component pouch to store components, crystals and a arcane focus. He even carries several wands by his side, with one hidden up his left sleeve inside a leather sheath for emergencies. That is if the crystal focus incorporated into a necklace isn't used first.

Inside the component pouch Sharian has a number of of components

### **Spells**

Sharian at heart is utility caster even though seeing him in combat would make you feel otherwise. Most of the he has gone out of his way to get have utility outside of combat or have some form of battlefield control, Sahrian does realise the importance of being able to finish a fight quickly so has some damaging spells like Steel Wind Strike, Crown of Stars and Arcane Transformation (Draconic Transformation reflavour) . A lot of his lower level spells were used in his life before the guild as a Merchant and part time performer.

Sharian will learn almost any spell he can get his hands on, which has lead to some spells that don't really fit what he represents. Understanding that it is important to keep such knowledge alive but hidden away from people that might misuse it. Such spells are kept in a separate spellbook from his main ones, hidden away in a demiplane away from prying eyes. He is more than willing to take a spellbooks from spellcasters he has defeated in battle and has started collecting their wands and foci as trophies after coming across one too many powerful spellcaster.

Sharian often favours the the form of the night sky and stars for his spells but has been seen to change the style from time to time. other forms have ben blue, yellow or purple spectral forms.

Most of Sharians damaging spells favour either the Force or Radiant properties with the odd other type scattered in but the odd other type sprinkled in for cover. He will always be very limited in options for damaging type spell in his spell preparations for a day.

He has demonstrated the ability to look into the future a few seconds and has incorporated into his fighting style to try and avoid incoming attacks but to what extent he can see is unknown.
