Irial
Irial is a shadar-kai Elf warlock and a player character of the Smugglers of magic. He is played by Sem
Story
Irial comes from a small community of Shadar-kai which escaped the service of fey in the Otherworld by fleeing to Gajas. With bad luck however only a couple years after arriving they were found by witchhunters doing the Holy Cleansings. All of Irial's colony died, he did too but was saved by the Morrigan.
Now partially dead and having muted emotions because of it, he is a warlock to the Morrigan and is on his own quest of revenge against the witchhunters that killed his community.
Irial ends up as a sellsword traveling around the Stormrend peninsula. He meets Matsrur during this time.
Eventually he ends up in Bersail where the events of the Smugglers of magic campaign happen.
To see Irials part in this campaign see the session summaries. Smugglers of magic, these events happened around the year 655
After the campaign, Irial was free from the Morrigan after having done his requested part in changing the fate of the world with her input. The Morrigan requests he stays in her service, and without a clear path forward Irial takes the deal. Traveling the world as a champion of the morrigan, changing the fate as her instrument.
Character
Irial is a queit and reserved person, not wishing to speak more words than needed. He does not reveal his true emotions to many, but when he does he is sincere in them. He only confines in a couple close friends or allies. Irial had his emotions muted as part of his ressurrection a fact he is aware of and does regret somewhat though even that he is not fully capable of feeling or expressing.
Important people
Irial does not have a lot of people truly important in his life because his family died, but there are some.
- Matsrur. One of Irial's few friends, they met during Irial's time as a mercenary across to peninsula, particularly they met in Bersail. Their relationship is a queit and appreciative friendship, though they don't see eachother often (except for during the events of the
Smugglers of magic. - Lady. Lady attached herself to Irial when she was in a bad spot mentally during the
Smugglers of magic campaign. The reason for this was that Irial was the first to reach out to see if she was okay. Later in the campaign Lady also confessed romantic feelings for Irial. Though Irial rejected lady romantically, the 2 were still good friends. The 2 eventually did part ways after the campaign, which possibly in part resulted in Lady her eventual decline. - Morrigan. The Morrigan as Irial's patron is of course important to him. Beyond being a patron, the Morrigan also literally saved Irial and Irial has done much good in her service with her guidance.
