Shiram

Along with Felciu, Shiram is one of the only two individuals of his species and existed before the Great Corruption even happened.

He appeared one day as a baby, inside a dead hollowed tree, deep into what is now known as the "Forest of Blessings". He was subsequently raised by a group of dryads (tree nymphs), who taught him how to live in harmony with nature, and naiads (water nymphs) who helped him control his clairvoyant abilities. One day, however, part of the forest was burned down and Shiram was forced to run away while his family did all they could to protect what was left of the forest.

By the time they managed to erect a barrier and expel the invaders, he had already been caught and taken away to a certain lab. There, he met another of his species, who was born the same day as him, in a completely different part of the same forest : Felciu.

In the lab, Shiram spent most of his time with Felciu, depending on him to stand up for him, and helping him make friends with the other subjects. They were eventually separated; Shiram was moved to another part of the facility to be studied for his clairvoyant abilities, while Felciu was put in a quarantine zone that was called “The Last Level of Hell” by its inhabitants for his rebellious, “dangerous” attitude.

Years passed and Shiram grew confined in the facility, never seeing anyone except for the scientists and missing his other half terribly. One day, the whole magical balance of the Earth shifted, killing almost every scientist. The sudden shift caused many “monsters” to panic, and the laboratory was destroyed as they all escaped. Shiram got trapped in the rubble, and was saved by an enraged Felciu, who had actually come to see him in order to kill him.
