Rivek

## Overview

Pre-Triarchy Troubles:

Born into a tribe of lizardfolk long forgotten this lizardfolk was born as the runt of his tribe. Possessing little strength and other physical attributes the tribe imagined that he would not live long in the jungle, and was given no name other then Plythu (weak in draconic). He was left alone to fend for himself by the time he was 1. He survived by eating small animals and insects to survive, this followed until he found he had a connection to nature. Once this was found out his tribe decided to let him be taught by the shamans of the tribe in the ways of being a druid. After many years of being taught magic Plythu's tribe then started to have a massive sickness spread through it, and a famine soon joined this blight on his tribe. During this time Plythu soon learned he was able to raise the dead to help with hunting game with the corpses of the hunters who died to the sickness. He also found ways to counteract the sickness using his necromancy magic to increase a persons vitality by using different drugs he crated. His tribe was afraid of his power believing that bringing peoples souls back from the dead to be taboo. However, Plythu found that it's nature giving him new souls to help reanimate the dead. His tribe being skeptical with the answer gave him the name Rivek (Corpse in draconic). He soon married one of the people he worked with, a female lizardfold named Nelith (Dead in draconic). Nelith was known as being a healer and was the one known for helping the dead pass on to the great jungle beyond. Rivek then was known as being a savior of his tribe during the hard time but found himself wanting to be alone with his wife.

However, his tribe was soon after attacked by the Malison sisters, and those who survived where enslaved including Rivek and Nelith. The Court of Vaila took both Rivek and Nelith and used Nelith as leverage against Rivek in order for his servitude in necromancy and his known work with drugs and plagues. He was made into a Blight artist and was told to work or his wife will die. He then made acquaintances with Lalia Nightshade and Rat Lady. Which he turned into Rat Lady's personal drug dealer after killing Jerry the rat multiple times by "accident".

Triarchy Troubles:

He helped find magical artifacts and other important facts about the Malison Sisters. After helping free both the brother of the sisters and a little girl, he was able to escape with Lalia and the little girl called "Fallen Star", and was given safe passage and harbor for his tribe by a elf known as Fire.

Post- Triarchy Troubles:

After the lizardfolks were freed by Fire they created a new tribe called the Salt Fangs after being given an island as a home. As time passed Rivek became the head shaman for the new tribe. His tribe wanted to make him Chief but he knew that he is not charismatic enough to be a leader. He became a arch-druid when he was 30 a decade after Triarchy Troubles, and started to teach other lizardfolk how to handle magic. During this time his tribe would be raided constantly by pirates or slavers who think that this small tribe of lizardfolk are easy pickings. During one of these attacks his wife was struck by a crossbow strait to the head. Causing her to die, Rivek not wanting his wife's body to not be disturbed buried her himself in a cave under the island. After this death, Rivek was unresponsive to other tribes folk and solely focused on making it so people won't mess with his tribe. He went on a decade long hunt to destroy any ships remotely close to his island that provoked him. Causing many deaths, which he created hordes of undead to walk the bottom of the sea around his island causing his island to known as Death's Island. After the death's of the Malison Sisters was announced, Rivek found himself sitting on his island waiting for his death to come.

After some time, some travelers came seeking Rivek for guidance about death. Rivek not knowing what this is about found out that the travelers all saw visions of Rivek with a feeling that the power of life and death can be thought by him. Due to him being bored and wanting to see where this goes he decides to teach them what he knows. He thought them about what he found to be the Cycle of Death, which death is needed in order for life to live. Then every few years more and more travelers sought out Rivek, with different given titles to address as what he was seen as. Some called him Death's true shaman, to some he is the Lord of Natures evil, but after many years he then was addressed as the Avatar of Decay. Over the span of 400 years his power with life and death grew, and his cult of the Cycle of Death grew with him. Rivek grew in size to be over 7 feet tall and seems to have scales pealing off and mushrooms, mold and moss growing along his back. He is now over 500 years old and has become the Avatar of Decay.
