Erik Wardnurm, Mortal Mage of the Scholars of Loarkam

Erik Wardnurm, a half thraugon, half human male, was always fascinated by the arcane arts. As a young boy, he spent hours poring over dusty tomes in the local library, learning all he could about the mystical forces that governed the world. Despite the ridicule he often faced from his peers, Erik remained committed to his studies, driven by a deep sense of curiosity and wonder. It wasn't until Erik was a grown man that he encountered the Scholars of Loarkam.
He had heard rumors of this secretive group before, but had never paid much attention to them. However, when he learned that they had recently begun accepting mortals into their ranks, he knew he had to investigate further.
Erik was immediately struck by the group's dedication to fairness and justice, as well as their deep understanding of the arcane arts. He was welcomed into their fold with open arms, and quickly proved himself to be a skilled mage.
However, it wasn't until he learned of the Scholars' past that Erik truly found his place among them. He was horrified to learn of the atrocities committed by the Angels of Loarkam in the name of maintaining balance, and was deeply moved by the Scholars' commitment to making amends for their past wrongs.
Erik never forgot the sense of wonder and curiosity that had first drawn him to the arcane arts. He remains a student of magic to this day, always seeking to learn more about the mysteries of the universe and the dark goddess who commanded them.

Relationship between the Brotherhood of Eden

A a member of the Scholars of Loarkam, Erik has no direct relationship with the Brotherhood of Eden or the Knights of the Golden Cross. The Scholars are a neutral group that seeks to maintain balance in the world, and do not align themselves with any particular faction or deity.
However, Erik has encountered members of these groups in the past. A Member of the Brotherhood attempted to assassinate Erik and one of his fellow Scholars at some point. Similarly, the Knights of the Golden Cross are known for their militant devotion to Flax the Greater, and clashed with the Scholars in the past over ideological differences.
Regardless of the specifics of Erik's relationship with these groups, is a mixture of of caution and respect. The Brotherhood of Eden's willingness to resort to assassination and subterfuge would makes them a dangerous foe, but their mastery of these arts is also worthy of admiration.
Similarly, the Knights of the Golden Cross's devotion to Flax the Greater make them ideological opponents of the Scholars, but their commitment to serving their deity is also be worthy of respect. Ultimately, Erik seeks to maintain a neutral stance in any conflicts between these groups, while still upholding the principles of fairness and justice that are central to his identity as a Scholar of Loarkam.
