History
Originally from a minor family in Llurth Dreier,
Riz was a member of a surface raid in which he was captured by a
group of alchemists who wanted to perform experiments with drow
blood. While originally evil to the core of his being, during the
fifteen years he was forced to live in constant torment and was
eventually broken and began wishing for death. In the fifteenth
year of this torment, a group of druids ousted the alchemists and
found Riz. They had wanted to leave him for dead, but one of the
members decided to perform his own "experiment" on Riz
and he took him as an initiate into the druidic orders in an attempt
to "humanize" the evil creature.
The most interesting facet of Rizlaunim is the fact that he is
a good character who has ALL the racial biases of the drow. In essence,
he constantly struggles with the fact that all these people and
creatures he is helping are "evil". Consequently, he often
makes mistakes and ends up having to be taught the error of his
ways by the druidic hierarchy. In essence, it is not that he does
not want to do good, but he is so ignorant to the ways of the world
that he has a hard time hiding his disdain for the other races.
Their ways simply make no sense.
