Biography & Lore
<Grul grew up in crossroad Mire and was always fascinated by alchemy and magic. His parents knew a little bit of magic but they weren't the most talented and simply use their magic to make their lives as fishermen easy. While they themselves were not interested in magic as much as their son they did encourage his curiosity and enthusiasm. Grul spent most of his allowance and any money he got from chores or odd jobs he took for neighbors one lessons from the local teachers. He learned alchemy and basic medical practices from a witch named Helen, he learned about magic from a druid and a wizard both separately as they both taught him different ways to draw from the world around him and himself. He learned that certain types of spells did better with druidic practices while others did better with arcane practices. He spent his entire childhood and young adult life learning as much as he could, but it was never enough. So when he came of age she decided to go out into the world to search for magic on his own. To find tomes and scrolls and hermits he could learn from. And ever since he's been wandering the road keeping an eye out for any scrap of magical knowledge. The world has been rough on him and though it has given him a bit of a tough exterior it hasn't killed his curiosity and thirst for knowledge or is innately kind heart.>
