## Brief History

Mathew Milrankus hailed from a distant dragonborn village, hidden in an unknown location from the rest of the world. Matthew was born and raised there. As he grew up, he studied sorcery and became more powerful. Due to his unnatural power, he protected his village and was given the title "Hero of the Dragonborn Race". After his village was safe from harm, he decided to go and explore the rest of the world, starting with Retha.

When arriving to Avallon, he was incarcerated for being a magic user, as they did not appreciate his greatness. He patiently stayed in the dungeon for a few days until a group of people came in and broke him out. These people would later be known as the Heralds of Retha.

Matthew escaped with them, and followed them for the rest of the day. They visited a black market, negotiated for weapons, and fought a demon, They later went to stay at an inn for the night, but Matthew's dormant illness arose, and It killed him on the spot. His teammates were very sad to see him pass, but kept his equipment as a sign of respect. They sold his scales for gold which would help them in their adventures, and declared that Matthew Milrankus will never truly be forgotten.
