Ryvian

Varisia is a land of ancient ruins. It hides secrets of Thassilon.


Author's Note: The town of Sandpoint welcomes you with open arms—a place of quiet beauty, seaside charm, and a fresh start. But beneath its peaceful surface lies a hidden past. Forgotten ruins dot the countryside. Old tales speak of lost empires and forbidden magics. And recently, subtle signs suggest something is beginning to stir. From mysterious happenings in remote corners of the world to whispers of long-buried evils, fate is weaving your path into something far greater than you imagined. What begins as a simple journey will become a battle against the legacy of an empire whose sins still linger—twisting the world in unseen ways. Rise of the Runelords is a sweeping fantasy epic where ancient secrets rise to the surface, unlikely heroes are forged in fire, and the echoes of the past demand reckoning. Adventure awaits. The world is changing. Will you rise to meet it?

appearance
Turch Sterglus is a wiry old man with a sun-weathered face, deep wrinkles, and a long, unkempt white beard. His lazy eye drifts slightly when he talks, adding to his eccentric charm. He wears a stained apron over a simple tunic and carries a well-used fillet knife on his belt. His hands are rough and calloused from years at sea, and he often smells of salt and fish.
personality
Gruff but good-natured, Turch grumbles about everything yet greets customers with a wink and a smile. He enjoys friendly banter and secretly loves teaching younger folk the tricks of the trade. He has a sharp eye for quality seafood and won’t tolerate anyone trying to cheat him or his customers.
backstory
Once a hardworking fisherman, Turch retired from the waves and took over the daily operations of Sandpoint’s bustling fish market. Despite his constant complaints about the weather, the youth, and the "inferior" catch of the day, he takes great pride in his work. The market is officially owned by the Valdemar family, but Turch has been its heart and soul for years. His five sons, all skilled workers in their own right, assist him in running the business, ensuring Sandpoint never lacks fresh seafood.
