Past History:
Show Spoiler
Living inside one of the many large jungle trees near the coast on the largest island in Khao lies a small village of forest gnomes almost completely hidden from the rest of the world. It was here in his village, where Lanzu Lutfi was born.
Life was quiet and simple in the village, with next to no interaction with the outside world the gnomes lived a peaceful life of forging and fishing, singing songs and dancing, to even teaching the ways of the durid to the few selected by the elder of the village to help preserve the land they live on.
On one day, Lanzu’s life will be changed forever as he woke up to another quiet day to start his daily routine beginning with fishing on the beach with his father. As both Lanzu and his father left the safety of their homes and approached the shoreline, they both saw something that they don’t normally see everyday… a group of robed men near a large ship, all with a strange eye like symbol on the back of their robes.
The two gnomes decided to investigate the scene. As they both cautiously approached from the jungle to get a better look, the last thing Lanzu remember was a sharp pain on the back of his head before passing out.
After a week of travel on the ship imprisoned alone within a large cage along with other prisoners of various races, Lanzu finds himself in a unfamiliar land he has never been in before…in the dark forests of Dolten.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Babylon's Grasp, and the Library of Kacael (Prestige Mission Series)
Show spoiler
The story of this event known as Babylon's Grasp occurred early on in Phase 1 in the Living World of Verum on March 14, 2018 and completed on April 24, 2018.
Babylon's Grasp was an event a result of unfortunate incident during an event, where a servant of Babylon by the name of Kale Kind showed up to the Bards College on a sacred mission of his god for a purpose that none at the time really understood. Unfortunately, due to someone who wasn't from the Bards College casting Charm Person on him to get forbidden information caused Kale's mission to be compromised and resulted with him taking his own life and angering Babylon himself.
And in his anger, all who saw him at the time and all at the Bards College was doomed to a fate worse then death in his domain, while the college itself would be destroyed by him unless they seal the four different seals within the College in one (real life) month, or 30 days time. but to make things fair... Babylon granted all who say on one level up... so they would have at least a chance of completing this time sensitive task.
Later, the "fate worse then death with no return" was taken back by Babylon, as it didn't seem fair for the college to get punished by him for someone else actions... but the threat of the college being destroyed and possibly the world suffering a negative impact was still all to real as the four seals withing the Library of Kacael still need to be sealed.
These missions to seal the four seals within the Library of Kacael were the first four prestige missions ever attempted and completed in the Living World of Verum.
These were the names of the missions and the players/characters who helped completed them at that time:
The Seal of Storms
Adhuil ( @ChronoWaster )
Arton Mead ( @Kodyack)
Lanzu ( @Silxer )
Brand ( @Chikn )
The Seal of the Crematorium
( @ChronoWaster ) Adhuil.
( @ShatteredIce ) Khogaer.
( @IroncladWarbear ) Reginald.

Seal of the Terrarium
Adhuil @ChronoWaster
Nara @Sneeky
Dabnir @Magnitas
Solomon
The Seal of the Apprentice
Lanzu @Silxer
Adhuil @ChronoWaster
Nara @Sneeky
Solomon
Not only these players helped in the effort of completing these very difficult prestige missions, but all who helped with the planing, resource management, prep, and etc... you know you are who helped with this, and thank you!
Due to events that happened in The Seal of the Apprentice mission, the first four custom races were unlocked from the players to use which were: (Satyr, Sprite, Changeling, and Dhampir)
All four of these prestige missions were ran by Arcadum.

Failures & Embarrassments
- Failed to save his father from getting captured from followers of the mad god...
- Feels that he had let many friends he knew and love down... for various reasons... and wants to make up for it.
- Did things he hoped would help the world, but sadly did the opposite... and now feels the crushing feeling of guilt and sorrow due to said actions.
- Been bamboozled time and time again from things that he once thought were genuine... only to be reminded that the world of Verum isn't a kind world.
Mental Trauma
- Often wary of meeting new people and seeing strange items due to unfortunate experiences that has happened to him in the past.
- Fear of letting his friends or family down.
- Due to many near death experiences, he's often fearful of messing with with things he feels like he shouldn't mess with.
- Due to various events, and interactions certain people... at one point was very open... now more wary of others in general...
- Paranoid of large gatherings and events.
- Even more wary of things in general due to various events, has a feeling that the world only wants him and the people he loves to suffer... now has a distrust towards people he hasn't familiarize with.
Intellectual Characteristics
Very cautious, and hesitant to interacting with things he doesn't fully understand.
Morality & Philosophy
Keep those you love and care about close, and treat them as if they are your own family.
To survive in this hostile world, having friends and family you love and care about is important.
Do not fight unless there's seems to be no other choice, otherwise try to find reason first as killing ins't the only way to survive.
Treat the creatures you conjure or care for well. They are living things that also deserve respect, and are not just tools to use.

Speech
Stutters nearly all the time due to a birth condition and that the 'Common' language is his third language.
In the first two languages he's more comfortable speaking in being Gnomish and Druidic, he sounds much more fluid although still with a bit of stuttering.
His tone of voice is very soft spoken and usually comes off as sounding nervous or worried about something most of the time. In times where he’s not nervous or worried, he can sound very warm and friendly.
He speaks fluidly in any language under the effects of the Heroism spell.
