Azhanti

Nigel: Azhanti Dragonborn Cleric

Azhanti was born into the High Lightning Clan and found his talents suited the Steadier aspect of Dragonborn life, however a war with the troops of Raptos ended badly for the Clan. The devastation culminated in the destruction of the temples of clan, slaughtering the priests in a tumultuous battle. One priest, Nihlil survived and fled to the hills. Here he trained a small school of priests, including Azhanti in the pantheon of his people.

Azhanti left the school, following the now deceased Vulcan, Lord of the Storm, to develop his skills for the people and to develop his religious insight to reawaken his lost god. He has yet to visit the temple of his fallen god in the Plaza of the Dead Gods. Azhanti travels the lands, seeking to cultivate a deep love of his god amongst worshipers of all races and may in the future achieve Demigod status himself.

However, Azhanti currently earns a living fighting in the coliseum as a self-owned gladiator, as well as taking tasks for groups. The renowned Agran Treshk acts as his agent and often puts him onto jobs that require doing. He now remains in the city as it is here he can meet many folk travelling through and seeks out people who would willingly follow his god, so far with little success.

Name and homeland

Azhanti was born in the Norros Steplands where a small city of Dragonborn once existed until smashed by the troops of Reptos. His family lived and worked in the ruins of the city scavenging and rebuilding the land. As a child he was sent up in the Norros Mountains where he commenced his training in the priesthood, as the small town was only able to support a limited number of Dragonborn and he needed a path in life.

A sentence or two about where you are from

A broken people who are rebuilding after the ancient devastating war, who seek the old ways in tombs and ruins and now earn a living hiring to those who can pay. The scattered acolytes of the Pantheon seek to rebuild that which was lost whilst guiding their people in the new environments they face.

A brief physical description

A bronze-scaled behemoth, Azhanti is in the prime of his life as a Dragonborn. The hornlike scales that form his crest are restlessly moving, mimicking his restless nature and lack of contentment for being still, whilst his glimmering red eyes are often unreadable by many he meets.
