Mentality

Personal history

Metius recalls a brief but fractured childhood in the Badlands, retaining his ability to speak under common but recalling very little. His adolescence, which he actually recalls, was spent in the ruins of Majital. He became lost in one such ruin for most of his life.

In this ruin was a library, where he accumulated much knowledge of history and a working understanding of the arcane. He occasionally interacted with adventurers in the ruins, whom he exchanged directions to for food. One of them acknowledged he had an ability for the arcane and directed him towards the Mages guild. Being lost in the ruin, this seemed to be useless to him. One day, as though waking from a dream, he found himself laying on the familiar sands above. He then made his way to the ruins of the Mages' Guild.
