Description

Backstory
This man joined the Kryn Dynasty of Xhorhas or was born into it, and learned about consecution and about the Luxon; eventually he became a Shadowhand, with his job involving treating people affected by the curse of ruin. He got married to a powerful mage, and together they had a son, Idrin. As he grew up and became a teenager, their son started showing signs of having a consecuted soul, which his father recognized, but his wife dismissed it saying that the dreams Idrin had were just that, dreams. By then the Shadowhand and his wife had disagreements about their ideology, with the mage being convinced that the curse of ruin was actually just an excuse to convince people of orcish blood to go through consecution.
Eventually, at some point before or during 839 PD, Idrin left Xhorhas, with his mother using magic on her husband to trick him, presumably to help their son move away from home. As of 839 PD Idrin was back in Xhorhas trying to deal with his father and the lies about the curse of ruin.
