Orlin Fuhsaz

Lore

Orlin exudes the posture and demeanour of a man twenty years younger and twice as enthusiastic where arts and performance are concerned. From an early age, he exhibited a love for classical art and stage plays, these interests manifesting into his artwork during his childhood, much of which was spent observing his parents at work as actors in low-end, small-town gigs and roles.

Pausing his artistic ambitions to pursue a more financially stable career, he soon enrolled in casting lectures to broaden his capabilities in the magical workforce. He would major in "lunar sorcery," utilising the power the celestial objects and moon play within witchcraft for soothing primarily the unsound of mind folk from war or other circumstances.

He became disconnected from his original calling as an artist in pursuing clinical work. However, years after he rooted himself in this field, the war and its reach had come to his small town. In light of The Arganian Empire's arrival and subsequent occupation, Orlin and his fellow township were pushed into the retreating Ashen perimeters. They would be swallowed by the mist, left to fend for themselves in a new, dark, and dangerous world.

History

Orlin leaves much to the imagination regarding his life before the war, before his Ashen branding. Still, his hopelessly romantic view of life, in conjunction with his tolerant attitude to even the worst of Ashen's people and environment and everything that creeps in it, it can be speculated he was always blissful and full of wonderment. He is unremarkable in physical regards but estranged and even offputting with his prim and proper exterior juxtaposing his apocalyptic surroundings. One needs only observe the photographs within his home of inked-out figures next to his likeness to understand there is much more baggage under the hood than his bubbly persons extend.

Despite remnants of fractured and broken familial ties within the home, Orlin is keen still to invite stary travellers willing to give him the time of day.

Present

These days, Orlin is now a trader of artistic and luxurious goods he has bought, created or fashioned from objects of war. He is the most favoured and closest customer and friend of Zdzislaw, the Overseer of Loumourn, who runs his abode on exchange and trade systems. He and Zdzislaw are not only good friends but share are equalled in that they enthuse with classical art, artists, plays and screenwriting. During Orlin's early residency in the Ashen, Zdzislaw was among the first people he bumped into. Nowadays, both are more independent of each other, but in the early days, they leaned heavily on each other's skills and aid to get by and build Loumourn to its more reputable state.

Most days, Orlin can be observed spying from his observatory, either at the night sky or at wondering figures in the gloom. When not studying strangers or stars, he is crafting masks to trade or painting Ashen landscapes with mismatched colours in his studio.

Orlin has recently taken up observing a newcomer. While hostile to Orlin's pleas and offers to help the youngster, the author persists from a distance, making sure the beings from the dark waters don't get too close.
