Lazlus – The Broken

Conjured from the spirit of Verina, a broken shard from her own soul. Lazlus is as much a life as any other child within Tharador. Born from driftwood and pebbles at a riverbed’s edge, Lazlus grew as so too did Verina’s mastery of the environment and the strength of his bonding vines and branches grew. The stronger vines saw larger rocks and boulders brought into his mass. As his mass grew, so too did his personality, forming from a timid child of little words to a mass three times the size of a man, with sage-like wisdom and a protective bond with Verina like no other, Lazlus’ role changed from her child to one closer to a big brother.

Mostly stoic, he is quick to speak up his mind in defense of Verina, his being mostly focused on Verina’s own safety than the safety of the forest’s or its inhabitants. Though too her cares about those, in his eyes Verina is a treasure more valuable than those of the forest, sometimes leading to conflict between the two if he deems her life to be in danger, evacuating her from the area, yet still fulfilling her wish of eradicating the intruders that threaten her and the forest.

But now after battle with Melwyn, Lazlus has been separated from Verina for over a year. He was destroyed and broken by Melwyn, waking only a month ago. His mind has slipped from the stoic guardian he once was. Desperately he searches for her in the midst of the forests of the Reach and the Fringe, his mind beginning to slip as he fades in and out of Fey and Tharador both. Any that meet his path in this state are likely to also meet their doom.
