Editing CrimsonStar:Daraek (section)

== Introduction ==
'''Daraek''' (duh-RYE-eck) is a druid in the Dark Sun campaign setting. He is known to have the power to change shape into a swarm of rampaging wasps. As a mul and a Wasteland Nomad, he stands out among the people of Tyr as an outcast. He only finds a place for himself at the inn and tavern of [[CrimsonStar:Nordmyra|Nordmyra]]. However, he still meets up with the occasional drunkard accusing him of being a freak or half-breed. Obviously his swarm powers are looked down upon, since it is a magical ability. His true home and ancestral is the badlands of Meng-Rez, where he associates himself with the Engulfer of Meng-Rez, a spirit who embodies the practice of swarm transformation and inhabits the badlands.

Daraek never knew his mother. He was born of a human father, so obviously that would make his mother dwarven. The only thing his father ever told him was, "She was never one to be trusted, and I don't expect much more out of you." When he was young, his father eventually tired of Daraek standing out as a Mul among pure-bred children, finding it an embarrassment to him and ruining possible trade opportunities, and sent him out into the badlands of Meng-Rez with minimal supplies to make a life for himself. Daraek was far from alone, however. The Engulfer guided his steps and kept him safe. Over the next few years, Daraek found himself capable of controlling various natural forces from afar, and eventually discovered his ability to morph into a swarm of wasps. This didn't go well the first couple of tries...Daraek's left leg flew away from him several times, only to return several days later. He doesn't like to talk about this much.
