BACKGROUND
Born in the muddy streets of a town whose name hath long since fallen into dust, an unnamed babe was left on the stoop of a bookbinder's shop. Discovered by the wife of the bookbinder, the child, named Desin, quickly grew to love the smell of fresh paper, and the stains of ink on his hands. Though the town was remote, the parchment made in the town was of a special make, using trees not found anywhere else. The land parted some of its magical essence into these trees, which gave the paper the unique properties through which tomes were bound to their respective magicians. It was by chance that one such wizard took an interest in the boy, as he toiled in his work, that the old fellow deigned to make him his apprentice. At first the bookbinder and his wife refused such a notion, but with the prospect of being amply compensated and the boy's enthusiasm, Tirinith found himself lost in the wizard's tower, serving as the wizard's apprentice and errand boy. Over the years, the boy and his knowledge grew, acquiring insight and ample skill in spellcraft. When it was time that the old wizard took to his deathbed, that he granted Desin a new name, a wizard's name. By the light of the magician's final moon, Desin was renamed to Tirinith Undulana Dolmun, He who seeketh the wisdom of the abyss. After the moment of the wizard's passing, a terrible thought occured to Tirinith. Despite the years they spent together in training, much of the old wizard's knowledge was lost to time and forgetfulness. Armed with an ambition to solve such a tragic problem, Tirinith embarks on a lifelong quest of discovery and the preservation obtained by any means.
