Magorath "Umbra" Linumbrad

Magorath used to be a human explorer, one who was just a tad too curious. During his early travels, Magorath discovered an ancient tome, promising unspeakable powers if he only "embraced his shadow". Naturally; Magorath studied this tome, and performed the ritual within. This ritual did indeed increase his power, but Mag did not expect the description to be so... literal. His shadow folded around himself, embraced him, and then merged with his skin.   After the ritual, he restudied the tome and realised that he mistranslated the requirements: he didn't need to "embrace his shadow", but needed the "embrace of his shadow". The book now, however, changed its contents in front of his eyes: the ritual disappeared, and arcane mutterings appeared in his place; the book now contained a selection of arcane scribblings, as well as plenty of empty space within.   On his way to a tavern to sit and reflect; he realized that he could now see in the dark, even without using a torch. Back in the tavern, he got some strange looks, and in the room he rented; he saw why: His skin and eyes had been drained of color, and a mesh of bones ran up his arms like a protective shell, plus: he now appears to have a tail, of all things.   At first, Magorath wore a long coat with a hood to hide this appearance. Even though this was over a year ago, and he is now used to his new appearance, he grew fond of the look. Especially since it seems to fit with the nature of his ability...   Lately, Magorath became a bit ballsy. When practicing with new and more powerful magics, he accidentally opened some kind of portal. Not learning from his earlier mistakes, he approached the portal; and touched it. After falling through (obviously), he found himself in a new world with a small settlement on the horizon. Not seeing any portal back home; Mag shrugged, summoned a horse, and made his way to this settlement. No need to camp out in the wilderness, he might as well be in relative comfort.

MMA is housed in an imposing tower on the edge of town, created from chemically darkened rock. The outsides are mainly featureless aside from ridges of lighter rock, spiralling in like treebranches. When standing in front of the entrance, the left half of the tower displays a stylised living tree, with the right half showing a dead one. The heavy double doors have a similar pattern on them, but in reverse order: the left door displays a dead tree, with the right half a living one. Often referred to by friends as Magorath's Magical Ass. If Mag had heard the misname he would just go, "Of Course my ass is Magical." and never elaborated.   This was not only the first and last time he ever sat down to think about something, it was the last time he would visit the Glided Rose, Alan's establishment.

MMA had just finished Construction when this nonsense started. Many craters from Hellmouth Cannons. The fiendish Rabbit had started their invasion Allied with The sunder Geese. Eduard one of his long time rivals gathered up Alfred, Talida which often was the most difficult of allies to not only to find but also the most difficult to convince, Asher a monk of Feronia whom disappeared after this event ended.   Talida wasn't able to peruse the actual culprit after the Rabbit war ended and she basically departed from Magorath temporary. Much to his annoyance she planted a half dead Elm next to his shop while he was dealing with hunting down the actual culprit. He told her to move it when he returned and she refused.   He then went to the Orelic library pursuing whom they thought the person responsible for the Rabbit abominations was. Then met the librarian the 2nd time. This is when people found out that a Druid named Dawa actually created the Rabbits, and that there was a fey territory war between Grimglop and The Liberian of the Orelic.   This is when Magorath renewed his spell page ethereal books.

A meeting was called with the Deputy, Sherriff and all residents of Aurelian the city. However, the thieves guild and Brightpollen had come up with a scheme to remove all Adventurers from the city. Atticus did the only smart decision he ever made and stood with the adventurers that help not only find the town but were the entire population.    However, the Thieves' guild had stolen the town charter and with the refusal to sign the new one, the city was completely disolved.   Magorath after trying to negotiate, decided that teleporting the thieves' guild to the middle of the ocean. However, leaving the town in order to find another horizon was on his mind anyway and he went off to start traveling.    Some other Adventurers fixed the problem of the city not being a city as Magorath became more reclusive and turned his shop into a demi plane so not to be bothered by others. The start of showings of his madness.

He set up some crafter games to help celebrate the new year. Mostly keeping his nose out of the main event and using his illusions and summons to keep those safe when it was needed. If it was needed. he was already being to think of just taking many extended vacation and leave the responsibility of crafting and Adventurers life style as he already started to feel the burden of the gold weighing his pockets down. However something more and magic not seen was still a large calling to him.

Motivated by his relationship with the Werekin, especially his adopted son, Carnival gathers his friends Geeg and Solis, the impressive Suzie Heather, and the Archmage Magorath to go to an alternative Earth where a vaccine to stop the Werekin's need for sentient flesh existed.   They found the world strange, magic weak and unreliable and technology king, but they were able to locate what they needed with the help of a familiar face, gaining both samples of the vaccine and the formula and method to it's creation.   While they were there, Heather also spent a moment getting souvenirs...DVD boxsets, keyrings, and a centaur phycologist husband who had his own TV show. No one else was especially surprised.
