Zandramor Industar

Zandramor Industar (formerly known as Zandramor Ahriman), was a Dragonborn wizard from New Ankoya. He was part of the group of heroes known as Semper Solari. His knowledge of the arcane, skill with a sword and his lineage to Kirvanex Industar were all paramount to bring about the defeat of the The Red Queen and The Blood in 6738 AV.

Early Life

As was tradition in his family, Zandramor studied the arcane at a young age. Under the guidance of Revawe Ohm he was quick to learn spells and studied many complex subjects concerning spell craft and the creation of rituals. However, Zandramor rejected devoting his life fully to the arcane arts, and was shunned by his family. He chose to leave his family behind and sought his fortune in the military. In training, he quickly became an outsider due to his continued interest in research and books but was still sent out to mainland Azuno as a part of a scouting expedition. This regiment of New Ankoyan soldiers later became known as "The Lost Regiment." It has become a story that has been passed down to new recruits ever since. It telss of a group of inexperienced soldiers that were brutally slaughtered by a vampiric necromancer in the depths of the jungle of Azuno. Every recruit in New Ankoya has heard some version of it, but what no one knew was that there was a survivor: Zandramor.
  Zandramor survived the night of the massacre by sheer luck. His fellow soldiers had thrown his notebook into a dried-up well, and in an attempt to retrieve it, Zandramor fell into the well. From the depths of the well he heard the screams and death cries of fellow soldiers as they were all slaughtered. This traumatic and gruesome event would shape his life, and after being rescued from the well by Varic Trafina, who revealed to him that he might have been the target of the attack because of his lineage to Kirvanex Industar. It was at this point that something awakened inside Zandramor. It was clear to him that he had to the eliminate The Blood to secure peace for himself and his family. Despite having been cast out once, he wouldn't allow his family to suffer the eternal pursuit of the cult. In the following years, Zandramor returned to his studies of the arcane, through experience and seeking out mentors. However, this time he did so to employ magic as a weapon and a shield to hunt down those who had hunted him.
  He became close friends with the wood elf who had saved him from the well, Varic Trafina. Together they avenged those they had lost to the cult of the Blood Queen and hunted down many individuals responsible for the The West Ankoyan Massacre. When no more followers of the Blood Queen could be found in Azuno, the two split paths and went their own separate ways. Several years had passed when Zandramor got kidnapped by Brunn cultists of The Blood led by Kervel Gluv. He was shipped off to Wolfsbrunn, where he was eventually rescued by Varic Trafina. Together they used a teleportation scroll which led them to a ruined city in the mountains close to Hartloch. They arrived in the city of Hartloch shortly before the city was invaded by devils in an event now known as The Hell of Hartloch. During this conflict, Varic and Zandramor became members of Semper Solari, a group of heroes who coincidentally had found out about the plans of The Blood to bring back the Blood Queen Varoda and intended to stop that from happening.

Semper Solari

Zandramor's keen mind and penchant for strategy guided the group through many trials and tribulations. He was mostly known and respected for his arcane talents which he skillfully combined with his mastery of the greatsword. His tactical insights made him swift in decision-making but his focus on danger sometimes caused him to miss subtleties in conversations. "The end justifies the means" was a saying that suited Zandramor, which might have appeared as carelessness at times to bystanders or the other members of Semper Solari, but ultimately was important for the group to reach their goals.   Zandramor always stood out on the battlefield due to the copper glow of his scales, which would light up even brighter when his sword would be wreathed in green flames or when he conjured a flurry of lights to illuminate the darkness. He had a very methodical and tactical approach when it came to battle and he could cast a variety of spells to overcome any type of dangerous situation. His most impressive arcane accomplishment was during the final confrontation against Varoda, where Zandramor called upon all his arcane might to conjure a powerful topaz dragon to aid him in battle.
  Most spells Zandramor learned and perfected were suited for close quarters combat and enabled him to harm his foe directly, strike his foe more forcefully or protect himself from the blows of an enemy. Zandramor also employed his magic outside of combat in a variety of ways. He knew how create teleportation circles, but most importantly he created and enchanted a vessel for the Keys of the Red Queen that Semper Solari had recovered so that they could not easily be found with Divination magic by The Blood.
