Character Sketch
Yurek is of the earliest generation of elves born upon the World of Two Moons after the High Ones crash-landed on the primitive planet. He was originally one of Voll’s band of exiles, wandering the woodlands searching for a safe place to call home, away from marauding humans. Ever curious to explore and expand on his magical ability to manipulate rock, Yurek chose not to follow Voll when he sequestered his followers behind the walls of Blue Mountain. Instead, he founded a different tribe, called the Rootless Ones, determined to wander until they found the same safety Voll wanted, only in the world and not hidden away from it.
The Rootless Ones thrived for a time, but were ultimately decimated by humans despite having many warriors in their ranks. Yurek and four other survivors fled into the burning waste of the desert to escape the murdering five-fingers. It was only through his rock-shaping magic, which he used to locate underground water and to shape shelters from the very rocks, that they survived.
Though the heat was searing, Yurek reveled in this new environment made entirely of rock–whether it be tiny grains of sand of the desert or the sandstone hills of the World’s Spine Mountains that they discovered on its far side. That is was entirely free of humans was an added benefit. The Rootless Ones finally discovered a green oasis hidden in the mountains and it was there that they settled.
Shortly after, Yurek Recognized Savah and they bore a child, and in doing so, founded the Sun Village of Sorrow’s End. Many years passed, and the village grew. Yurek became obsessed with pushing the limits of his power trying to understand the very nature of the rock. He shaped the Bridge of Destiny only to later die when he plummeted off its peak, his spirit finally able to become one with the rock.
