Lythienne Yinsalor

## Early Life

Lythienne was born at the very start of the Bronze Era in the Elven city of Krasis, one of the largest trade cities on all the continent. He came from a family of merchants who spent much of their time on the road in transit from city to city which gave Lythienne quite the exciting childhood. He traveled across the continent in large caravans of elves and humans shipping goods to the most prominent cities.

Lythienne's parents were quite lenient with their children, allowing all 7 of them to run free in each city they arrive in so long as they return at the end of the week for their departure. As the youngest of the seven, Lythienne looked to his siblings who spent their time gambling, drinking, and causing trouble wherever they went, so Lythienne embraced this way of life. His brothers and sisters used him in all sorts of elaborate pranks and tricks: causing distractions for theft, sneaking in through small spaces to prohibited areas, faking injuries for extorting businessowners, and all sorts of other ruses. The scams and pranks his brothers and sisters pulled, along with the success of his parents allowed Lythienne a very lavish childhood. Whatever Lythienne wanted was his to take! That was until he traveled to Cavabel.

## Meeting Myrthal

Upon the end of a long journey back home to Krasis, the Yinsalors stopped at a small town called Cavabel for rest and to sell some wares. The children scampered off in search of some fun, but the town hadn't much to offer. They begun to ask around and everywhere they went, people talked about a powerful wizard named Mythral Keriso who had been teaching a group of pupils his ways of magic for hundreds of years. To the Yinsalor children, this seemed like the perfect opportunity for a scam.

So off they left in search of Keriso Manor in hopes of pulling a fast one such a notable figure.

"These famous people always got deep pockets, and everyone knows that rich guys are gullible as dwarves ain't that right Lythie" one of his brothers remarked on their way to the manor. Once they arrived, it seemed as if nobody was home, so they sent Lythienne in through the back to steal whatever he could. He sneaked through a crack in the deck just to find that every room inside the manor was completely empty.

"What a fucking bust this is," he sighed as he carried on through the manor. He came upon a stone staircase leading down to the basement where he heard a voice. Lythienne was intrigued so he continued down where he found a large windowless room of various robed figures all levitating 20ft stone blocks in the air. A tall elven man stood behind the circle of wizards walking around them issuing commands and trying to break their focus.

"Separate yourselves from this plane! Concentrate! The most essential skill for any wizard, concentration is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve. This skill is what will ultimately lead you to success."

The blocks float a little higher, but suddenly stop and become suspended in the air after the teacher lifted his hand and cast a spell. The rocks begin to spin around in circles until they all crash into the center smashing them into bits.

"Now, you will put them back together. Would you like to assist us little boy?" as he turns around to Lythienne watching in awe from the staircase. The rest of the wizards all look up toward him as well, so Lythienne bolts back up toward the door. He runs back through the hall toward the front door swinging it open to find the most beautiful place he'd ever seen...

## The Rise of the College

Lythienne spent many decades perfecting his skills under Myrthal Keriso alongside his other pupils. Lythienne was one of the quickest learners of the bunch, excelling in all of his studies and perfecting a new spell every couple months. Mythral began entrusting him with some of his most dangerous quests and challenges to allow him to become even stronger. Myrthal's hopes were to start a college where he could teach many students at once and facilitate advancements never before thought possible by academia or masters of magic. Over time, the manor was expanded upon, adding classrooms and new buildings, courtyards and studies, dormitories and much more. The College had much success until Myrthal one day died. The Circle of Credence who all studied under Myrthal took up his mantle as headmaster, divvying up responsibilities among them. Together they build the school into something beautiful.

One of Lythienne's greatest advancements happened later in his lifetime after decades of exploration, study, and practice. He built his first permanent dimensional door to the feywild. This development was what sparked a Renaissance for the College of Cavabel, allowing travel for large groups of people to explore new lands and make incredible new discoveries. Lyhtienne spearheaded many of these expeditions and helped establish connections all over Uvonor and beyond.

Lythienne eventually passed away at the ripe age of 950, long after the rest of the original Circle of Credence has already long gone. Before his passing, he was able to instill a new generation with the brilliance, philosophies, and magical abilities of Myrthal Keriso, carrying on his legacy for centuries to come.
