Etrin

Etrin (Etrin of Markhaza) is the court magician and spiritual advisor to King Merridan of Fountianhead. He practices his trade of predicting the future through the use of various mediums like cards, bones, and other physical objects. He fled when the War of the Sun Valley destroyed the village of Markhaza where he lived with his family. He has been running away from others, or running toward Fountainhead, for years.

Etrin is a Half Elf, but goes to great length to hide his elven heritage. His swept ears and mis-colored hair (brown with copper strands) make him easily identifiable as one of the elfbloods.

When he arrived in Fountainhead the pulling he felt became stronger. He began to experience visions of horrible battles where people were slaughtered by an unforgiving foe. He began to drink heavily and pass out there the night when his visions were the worst. During this time his damaged spirit was pulled into the Caves of Chaos by the fractured spirit of Aegrin. He was drawn to other bewildered spirits and bonded with Litheria, Captain Savino, and Duerte. This bond was a clear bell in his mind - he had a purpose and destiny to fulfill.

He sobered up and after meeting each other in a tavern they agreed to help this city. A powerful gang lead by Merridan, a ogrekin, had taken over the largest building in the city. From there he ruled as far as his violence carried him. They worked their way into his inner circle and changed him into a passable ruler. Etrin finds it very straining as the King always wants his future foretold. He used to have Duerte to help him with this task, but he disappeared in the tunnels under the city. He is alive, but no longer speaks with him - not even when they are summoned to the Caves of Chaos.
