A mysterious race appeared during the rebirth. It’s members combined characteristics of all the new races in beautiful forms and demonstrated powers beyond those of mere humans, elves, and dwarves. Called the pyreen, these beings were nearly immortal, with abilities that could have made them the new masters of the world. Instead, they chose to hide from the other races and follow their own paths. One of these paths led to magic.

Among the pyreen was a being called Rajaat. Unlike his fellows, he was hideously deformed both physically and spiritually. Though his was contorted, and his conscience twisted, Rajaat possessed a wondrous facility with psionics and was blessed with amazing intellect. During the earliest days of the green age he left the other pyreen to explore and seek answers to his questions about how the world changed, what happened to the nature masters and why he was so different. During his search he came to revile himself as a deformed accident he pledged to rectify.

By studying the techniques of the ancient nature masters he learned that the spark of energy in all living things was a great source of power. He wished to use this power to transform his mind and body and thought that he was close to a solution, despite that he never achieved the desired effects. However he did unlock the secrets of magic and became the first sorcerer.

Life energy was the source of magic and the plants and land itself were the easiest sources to tap. He found a special location that fairly glowed with life energy. He remained there for nearly 200 years, learning what he could. But he was not satisfied, he wanted more power. To get this power, he turned to the world itself.

Tapping into the life spark of Athas Rajaat learned he couldn't control the world's life force. This left his hiding place devastated and full of foul creatures that still exist.

He returned to his research of nature masters and learned through the legends and tales of the now feral halflings where the pristine tower is. Here he found a band of descendant from the last nature masters. He befriended the band, learned from them, then took control of the tower and altered it to fit his needs.

MORE LATER I HAVE TO COOK DINNER!
