Background

As a child, his family fell to a disease spreading through his village, only through sheer luck did he manage to be immune to the disease -- but the trauma of watching everything he loved die in immense agony caused him to become.. distant, not caring for the fates of others, only acting in their stead when it directly benefits himself and his goals.

After the death of his family he became obsessed with the lore, studying the creation of artifacts, the lore of the first age, and Thaumaturgy, believing that with enough knowledge, he could gain the power to defeat any calamity, any foe -- even death itself.

While studying the lore of astrological rock formations in the south, he noticed how the sand from a sandstorm blew upon the rocks leaving a distinct marking, one that looked like the spells written in old tomes, of powerful sorcery, and the sight cause a light as bright as the sun itself to shine, and he was struck with an understanding of what the markings meant, he read them aloud, and the face what looked to have been a boulder moments before, shuddered and gave way, revealing a great structure built into the cliff.. going inside, he quickly recognized from the overflowing energy in his body that this was a manse, a few moments revealed it to be a great library, built around a central chamber -- a study for the owner perhaps, with a great hearthstone in the middle..

After some time spent studying the resources and attuning himself to the Manse, he set out, following rumors, he came to Great falls, knowing that he has the ability to gain what he seeks through sorcery, seeking the teachings of Anointed Starfall, presenting the formula for the spell and cause of his exaltation as the price for admission to the Secret Thunders lodge, spending four years learning the secrets of the terrestrial circle, upon completion of his training, Anointed Starfall gave him his oath, to study the cinnabar stones in the south that the first sorcerer herself faced as an ordeal.

He traveled south, discovering the location of the stones, but upon study, he could find nothing out of the ordinary, beyond the perfect circle they formed, so he made his way to Chiaroscuro to send word back that his oath has been fulfilled.

Limit Break: □□□□□□□□□□

Virtue: Temperance

The character's focus and control contracts inward, leaving them obsessed with a single solitary activity or course of study. They will absorb themselves completely in their obsession, refusing to make concessions for bodily needs beyond the barest of sanitary arrangements for excretory functions. They automatically fail any face-to-face Social rolls, and suffer a two-die penalty on any Perception pools unrelated to the subject of their obsession. They avoid human contact, and may become violent if forced to divert their focus from their obsession. Such overwork can strain a character, and they must make a Stamina roll to avoid long-run negative repercussions.

Partial Control: The character may address urgent and essential duties, and may make consideration for bodily needs such as food, drink, and sleep, and may speak to others on matters of necessity or on matters of their obsession. Any non-urgent duties will be neglected in favor of the obsession. All Social pools suffer a two-die penalty.

Duration: One full day.

Condition: The character's curiosity is thwarted, work is interrupted, or necessity diverts them from favored projects to deal with Real Life.

• Manse: Mao-Zhang's Library

The Library of a great solar sorcerer going by the name of Mao-Zhang, built into the side of a sand-warped cliff in the southern desert, accessible only by a door embedded in the side of the cliff, opening only to a certain password.

Mao-zhang, being of great ability, stored his extensive library of knowledge on the various crafts and sorceries, at the height of his power, he even gave the manse a limited sentience, in order to assist its current hearthstone owner in any way possible.

At the end of his life Mao-Zhang placed a failsafe on the manse, encoding it so that only a solar with a passion towards knowledge rivaling his own could see the password when a sandstorm strike the rocks outside
