Balasar Sorastrasz
Balasar was not merely a cleric; he was a beacon of hope and a testament to the unwavering faith in Bahamut. Born into the modest clan of Sorastrasz, Balasar showed early signs of divine favor. His scales shimmered with a red hue, a sign believed to be Bahamut's blessing among dragonborns. From a young age, he was drawn to the teachings of Bahamut, dedicating his life to spreading the virtues of justice, honor, and protection.
His journey to becoming a revered cleric was marked by trials that tested his faith and strength. Balasar's dedication to his deity led him to embark on a pilgrimage across the lands, visiting sacred sites and learning ancient rites. It was during these travels that he forged a deep bond with the Delmirev family elders. Recognizing their shared values and commitment to the protection of dragonborn lands, Balasar and the Delmirev clan formed an alliance that would last for decades.
Balasar's role in overseeing the Paladin's rites at the Path Ceremony was more than a duty; it was his calling. He believed that guiding young Paladins on their path was essential in strengthening the dragonborn's defense against the darkness that sought to engulf their lands. His teachings were not only about combat but also about the moral compass necessary to wield power with wisdom and grace.
The holy flail, a symbol of his devotion and a gift from the elders of Bahamut's temple, was enchanted with the power to release healing incense. This weapon was a reflection of Balasar's belief in the power of healing and protection over destruction. Its incense was said to have been blessed by Bahamut himself, capable of mending wounds and soothing the spirits of those around him.
However, Balasar's life took a tragic turn when he embarked on a mission to uncover the forces behind the devastation of dragonborn tribes. His quest was driven by a vision from Bahamut, hinting at a rising evil that threatened not just the dragonborns but the balance of the entire realm. Determined to stop this force, Balasar left his homeland, armed with his faith and holy flail.
His investigation led him to the southern regions, where he encountered the Ogre that would end his journey. In a fierce battle at Wyvern's Tor, Balasar fought valiantly but was overpowered. The Ogre, fascinated by the flail's incense, kept it close, unknowingly preserving Balasar's life in a state between life and death.
Balasar's mangled body, trapped in his crushed armor, remains a testament to his sacrifice. His spirit, sustained by the censer's mist, whispers prayers to Bahamut, seeking deliverance and justice. His unresolved mission and the mysterious evil he sought to uncover now hang in the balance, awaiting a hero who might continue his legacy.
