Personal history

Riss was born among one of the major cities of the Aravitourus Empire in the north. It's referenced that he was born lower in the social classes and briefly join the military. During this time Dantus had already cemented his rule across the continent and as such Riss worked for him. However, his time in the army did not last long before he was removed from service due to disobedience.   Around this time is when the first stories about his heroics are detailed. In general, he did small tasks such as defending someone subjected to abuse by the Embrace or stealing from the government in order to help the poor people who would have been heavily discriminated against during this time. It was not till what is referred to as the North Uprising with a small rebellion erupted. Riss was not a part of this and the rebellion failed. Historians believe this was due to a lack of strong leadership and coordination. He would only get involved after when The Embrace began to punish the community. He killed several guards and enforcers before he was forced to flee into the wilderness.   At this point he begins to raid small supply caravans and began to study and wield light magic in history. His heroics became stories told around the region which gave hope to them all. However, this brought Dantus's ire. He had him hunted down and captured for indoctrination. He was imprisoned for weeks until the Scion's Circle rescued him and allowed him to form The Union of Pellamulara.   From then on, he brought them to victory against Dantus
