Fervour

Fervour was a Fire Genasi Druid that was among the first to explore the frontiers of Eskarya.

Background
In stark contrast to his fiery and bold appearance, Fervour has never been the brightest individual. While proud of their Elemental heritage, his parents instead made a point of living upon the fringes of society - save they garner the ire of the less-accepting residents of the villages along the southern bank of the River Ith. The lifestyle suited them, giving young Fervour a chance to run wild without fear of unwanted and judgemental eyes.

Imagine therefore Fervour’s surprise when he spied a glimmering sight on the forest’s edge. Golden-yellow, an aura of the arcane lingering around it - just like him. The canine beast seemed to blink in and out of existence as he watched, and with a contented chuckle, he gave chase. How very terribly lost the encounter with the creature got him. After the best part of a week eating naught but berries and bark- most of which gave him nausea for foraging was simply another thing he had limited talent for - he would find salvation in the arms of a Firbolg Nordan. Try as the kind-spirited Druid did, he would have limited success in his teachings of the Fire Genasi, but Fervour soon adapted to his new way of life in their shared mountain home.

Fervour never had a good sense of direction. Whilst wandering the usual tracks and routes in the Marching Mountains, it became suddenly obvious to him he neither recognised the stones at his feet, the valley before him, or the stars above. Naturally distressed by this, he headed for the distant lights of civilisation. Upon arrival, he found himself predictably overwhelmed by the cacophony of such a place and the mass of individuals present. Eager to escape it all, he bartered passage onto the first ship he could find, and in doing so found himself bound for Eskarya.

Into the Underdark
Sent out in pursuit of an ill-fated adventuring party in Marpenoth 1495 DR, Fervour would find himself within the Underdark, accompanied by the Rock Gnome Jebeddo Oneshoe and Gael Eserrah. There, they managed to rescue the explorers Lost Flame and Carnifex from the clutchs of the maruading drow that had taken them captive, fleeing for the overground once more.
