VINRIEL, VOLATILE SORCERER


Vinriel was the seventh of the Creator's First born. Vinriel wished for ultimate power to surge from his very soul. The Creator granted this, changing Vinriel into a volatile sorcerer of pure wild magic. Vinriel burnt forests to the ground with meteors, ripped earth high into the sky forming mountains, and vanquished any who stood in his path. Vinriel held many arguments with the other First Born over Tomlin, the first mage. Vinriel and Tomlin did not see eye-to-eye over how magic should be used.

Vinriel coveted a kingdom of his own, seeing Brr'ter's Vez'Harrah as just another thing for him to take as his own. Vinriel tore a Vez'Harrah city from the earth and forced it high into the sky above its original location. Vinriel destroyed any who did not fall under his rule. For many years, Vinriel ruled with an Iron fist.

During the Lower and Upper planar incursion, Vinriel obliterated any armies of either side which dared to approach his floating city. Vinriel never attempted to help the First born's armies remove the threat.

During Tomlin's travels of war against the Celestials and Fiends, he approached the floating city. Vinriel, seeing Tomlin in his own domain, quickly began an argument with the mage. Tomlin spoke ill of Vinriel, enraging the sorcerer to attack Tomlin.

For hours they fought, casting all sorts of magic. By the end the combat, Tomlin rose victorious and Vinriel escaped, defeated and heavily wounded, into a demiplane of his own creation. The last remaining Vez'Harrah of the floating city thanked Tomlin for rescuing them, even at the cost.

Alas, The Vez'Harrah of the floating city would not survive to see the end of the Incursion, for Vinriel had one final ploy: A disease to purge what would not be his. This disease resulted in any Vez'Harrah who would step foot onto the floating city to contract it.
