Lizarin - Champion of Renmaeth

In Mayreth’s wilds live many sects and Druidic circles that pay homage to their patron in ways far different from the Ten’gwaël of Nan Thalias. The Mayreth natives call these wild men “Slettemenn” or Plainsmen. Their customs see complete removal of oneself from the perils of civilization, and often they live in wandering groups of hunters and gatherers that wander the vast grasslands and forests of Mayreth. But their love for Renmaeth and her creations is unwavering, and from this love, passion is born, but that passion can quickly turn to violence. Such is the way of Lizarin, a wanderer who forsook his fellow Plainsmen in fervent service to Renmaeth, forsaking their tenets forbidding contact with civilization, to live amongst the people and teach them, pledging fealty to her in the Temple of Renmaeth in Rykdom. So he became her sword and instrument of justice, fighting against the Alimrothi that began encroaching upon the forests of Mayreth – not because they were invaders to his countrymen, but for the swathe of destruction they painted across the lands they tread. Countless withered trees and poisoned springs lay in the wake of the Alimrothi, and Lizarin could no longer stand for it. Thus he took the fight to them, learning from a travelling Druid that the Alimrothi had besieged Renmaeth’s Pillar of Brel Vardra in their homeland. There Lizarin fought in its defense, and learnt after that the entire battle was an orchestration of Idinhelieth, the dark divine of pestilence and decay. So Lizarin swore an oath of vengeance against the foetid god, beginning a two year long vendetta that dragged him across the continent, unveiling his machinations wherever they lingered and ultimately ending in the death of his most loyal schemer: the Duke of Tradver, Conrad Elstein. Now Renmaeth has tasked Lizarin with using his status and known prestige to try to invoke peace with Baldur in their war against nature: staunching the fires of industry that leave naught but cinders in their wake. The fires that see the forests across the kingdom ravaged, and its inhabitants slaughtered. If negotiations fail, he is given leeway to use any means necessary to ensure that Baldur will no longer threaten the sanctity of Tharador’s forests.
