Meltarr Gaimen

Meltarr is a human wizard that was Marko's best friend during his years studying the ways of the arcane. Through a series of events, she would become a powerful lich that occupied a mysterious tower that depicted her history. After her defeat at the hands of Raven's Mark, she - along with her best friend - would be turned into a baby and live at the guild hall under the care of Marko.

## History

### Birth and Childhood

Meltarr was born as Sylvando and presumed male at birth during the Ghamidan age. Due to the normalize homophobia of Ghamida, she had a tough time realizing her issues with her gender until she fled the academy she studied at with Marko. Her family and Marko's family were neighbors so the two spent time early on and became friends. They both had aspirations of becoming archmages to bring good to Ghamidha.

### Academy Phase

Due to her dyslexia, Meltarr struggled and gained a reputation as the academy's worst student while Marko was considered the poster child. During this time, they would both meet Jo and become a notorious trio. Not wanting to be left behind when Marko and Jo had submitted their archmage theses, she managed to compile what seemed to be an impressive grimoire of spells. Most of the spells did not work as intended, causing the council judging her thesis to laugh her out of the room. She fled and was never heard from again. However, Marko and Jo - who had snuck into the demonstration - would later use that demonstration as the foundation to create new wizarding theories.

### The Rise of Meltarr

While Sylvando's disappearance would later lead to being 'presumed dead', Meltarr had steeled her resolve to become her ideal self. She first underwent an experimental gender change ritual that involved years of pain and drinking potions while staying hidden from Ghamida's more extreme homophobic groups. Eventually, she became Meltarr and during the years of pain, studied divine magic - blending it and arcane magic to create her own magic: theurgy. She returned to present a new thesis to the academy - mostly the same council from before but with Marko and Jo having unseated two of them. At the time, only rumors existed of went on but one of the council had died and Meltarr Gaimen the Lifechanger was made an archmage had taken his place. She would later advance medicine for the LGBT community and fight of dire threats to the kingdom - befriending Aristeria the time dragon in the process and acquiring a tower that was sued to study the magic of manipulating time.

### The War of the Black Lotus

When mages of Ghamida were fighting each other over the Black Lotus, Marko, Jo, Meltarr, and Aristeria had resolved to save the land from itself. Marko believed in destroying the Lotus by making three wishes while Meltarr feared the consequences of forcing an object to cast *wish* three times. At an impasse, Marko and Jo had dueled against Meltarr and Aristeria. Having lost the duel, she let Marko and Jo enact their plan while she went with Aristeria to conduct an experimental lich ritual that would allow them to become liches without losing their minds. The Black Lotus' explosion would cause the tower to momentarily turn off - seperating the duo's minds from their bodies. Their minds would be doomed to be trapped in the tower while their immortal bodies - lacking waited at the top of the tower for someone to open it.

### Lady of the Tower

Eventually, members of Raven's Mark would open her tower - progressing through its floors and gathering its treasures (including her old thesis) to reach the top. After defeating the two liches at the top, the guild had turned her and Aristeria into babies via a poorly worded *wish* spell. She now lives at the Mark under Marko's care and tutelage.
