Personal history
Stodka grew up during a time when war was not a threat, when peace reigned. As an adult, he had a deep-rooted love of children. This love of children started when a child helped him save his wife. From that point on, he loved all children, of all races. To him, it didn't matter, dwarf, brimbarian, munren, draconin, even orc. He loved all children.
In his local area, on the night before Riftentide, he'd leave gifts of finely forged Theosite on the doorsteps of every home that holds a child. Though, he only gave these gifts to the good children. For those who were ill behaved, he'd leave a lump of iron ore, and a note saying that iron ore by itself is useless, but can be made better. The note says that the child must be like iron ore, and must be shaped into something better.
He became a local hero, and his legend quickly spread. He had been studying arcane magic, and was well enough devoted to Deos to share a connection with him. He created a skyship fueled by theosite, and Deos' divine blessing. The ship flew at incredible speeds, allowing him to fly all around the known world in only one hour. Soon, he was delivering gifts to all of Midor, then the draconic nations, then Heodar, then the halfling north, then Brimbaria, then even the orc woods.
As he grew older, he began to think about what happens after he was gone. He didn't like what would happen. By that time, he'd become a large part of the entire Riftentide tradition. In his mountain home, he applied everything he knew about arcane, and divine magic to bring time to a standstill. While he was within this aura, he would not age. Eventually, he managed to design it so it would slowly reverse his aging by one night throughout the course of a year. This allowed him to remain the same age forever.
For nearly a thousand years, he's gone on the same journey, on the same night every year. He has brought joy, and love to every corner of the known world. For one day, every year, the glow of theosite, caused by the innocence of a child, fills the sky, and can be seen all the way from his mountain home.
