Gar-dryem

Gar-dryem is a powerful Kir-lanan who lives around the Shining Sea.

Description
Dryem is a typically built Kir-lanan, a gray hide and large bat-like wings frame his muscular build; his fierce orange eyes a stark contrast to his gear. His claws are particularly gruesome - they appear slightly withered, but almost pulsate with negative energy. His facial features are also slightly more demonic than most of his race.

Personality
Dryem is a leader of the Kir-lanan, and as such he is constantly vigilant to his surroundings. Like all of his kind, he has an intense hatred for what the Kir-lanan call "godslaves," or any being who worships a deity. Still, he sees cooperation at times with them to be beneficial to his desires. He is a ruthless leader: strong, intelligent, and methodical. He is an epitome of evil in all its forms.

History
Not much is known of Dryem's personal history. It is thought that he was one of the original Kir-lanan believed to be created during the Time of Troubles. As one of the original progenitors of his race, this makes Dryem a very important individual in Kir-lanan society in the Shining South. It is believed that Dryem is a leader of a Rookery of Kir-lanan somewhere around the Shining Sea.

In the year 1373, Dryem entered a loose partnership with Lord Drake on the island of Tharsult. The specifics of this relationship were never discovered, nor Dryem's motives for doing it, although it is hinted that Drake held his offspring captives. Whatever the ends, Dryem fled and ended the partnership when a group of heroes from Suldolphor infiltrated the caves on Tharsult and killed Drake.

Present Day
Dryem's current whereabouts are unknown, although believed to be in and around the Shining Sea. It is clear from his dealing with Drake that he is willing to partner himself with godslaves if it benefits him or his Rookery. The debacle with Drake, however, has probably tempered his judgment of these partnerships. It is also a good bet that revenge against Sembia is something constantly on Dryem's mind.
