Aravashnial
A young elven wizard devoted to closing rifts between worlds, Aravashnial bears a deep hatred of demons as a result of his battles in Vaasa, but his greatest passion is seeing the borders between Faerun and other worlds reinforced.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Aravashnial has always been driven to excel. Both of his parents were wizards, and soon after he learned to read and write, his mother and father began teaching him of magic. He was a dutiful son, but as he grew older, his own personality began to assert itself. He chose to specialize in conjuration rather than abjuration (his parents’ specialty), much to his family’s displeasure. Further, his growing obsession with demonic lore began to worry not only his parents, but also his teachers and fellow apprentices— they believe that Aravashnial had been lured to the worship of dark powers, when in fact the opposite was true. Aravashnial hoped he would be the one to discover a way to send all demons back to the Abyss. When his apprenticeship ended, he shocked his family by announcing his intention to travel to Damara to learn their methods of battling demons, and then some day in the future return with that knowledge to aid his homeland.
Before setting out for Damara, Aravashnial decided he should first visit other parts of Faerun to continue his studies as a conjurer. As he traveled, he stopped at every large library he came across to conduct research. While exploring the ruined remains of a library in Chessenta, he came face to face with a young woman doing the same. Aravashnial discovered the woman’s name was Lylina and that she was a conjurer like himself. They traveled together out of Chessenta, but it wasn’t until after they’d crossed the border that Lylina told Aravashnial that she was a member of an organization called the Riftwardens. She invited him to join her organization. Aravashnial has spent the last two years in Bloodstone City working on behalf of the Riftwardens. He has undertaken over a dozen missions into Vaasa, each time emerging with more scars and a new hatred of demons, but also increased knowledge. He supports himself by crafting magic items and selling them to shops in North Wall and New Bloodstone and by casting spells for hire, but he doesn’t own a storefront himself and would disdain a job as a “store clerk.”
After a brief romance, he and Lylina split up. She’s since moved on, having left Damara to work with the Riftwardens in Impiltur. Aravashnial still harbors bitterness in his heart over their parting, but tells himself he no longer cares for her.
Personality Characteristics
Vices & Personality flaws
Humility has never been one of Aravashnial’s defining personality traits. Despite his relatively short time in the Riftwardens, he considers himself one of the most knowledgeable Riftwardens in the Bloodstone Lands. He is well regarded among his fellows as a talented and courageous wizard.
Personality Quirks
Aravashnial is somewhat of a conspiracy theorist and always has a number of outrageous theories brewing. His latest is that certain groups in Bloodstone City have been infiltrated by demon cultists, and that their influence has been more damaging to the city than actual battles.
