The Wastes of Amiron in Dyllaria are known as harsh and barren land. Athmyr was introduced to that land at a very young age, and to the Biata tribes there that are every bit as harsh. Captured in a Barbarian raid at the young age of 23, Athmyr was sold to one of the matriarchal Biata tribes in the wastes. All things considered his fate was far better than it could have been. He was not a slave; he was merely a male.<br><br> | The Wastes of Amiron in Dyllaria are known as harsh and barren land.

Athmyr spent the rest of his childhood as a servant of one of the tribal households, working as a farmer and general laborer. The Great Celestial Change which triggered the gryphonlike characteristics in the Biata had a destabilizing effect on the tribe. Multiple matriarchs began to compete for power, a struggle that was ultimately won by a young Biata named Tiknay Rehtaef. Tiknay, however - being an extremely liberal Biata - refused to kill her defeated predecessor, and instead chose to leave to begin her own tribe. She was given two males from her household, Athmyr and another named Liato, as the first members of her harem.<br><br> | Athmyr spent the rest of his childhood as a servant of one of the tribal households, working as a farmer and general laborer.

| − | Athmyr greatly resented this reassignment. He was a quiet and introverted male who preferred solitude and security and enjoyed his domestic role. He did not feel males should be assuming female roles of hunting and fighting and had no interest in living as an adventurer.

Athmyr was letter found and taken in by an anti-Necromancy group called the Nightblades. For a year he was merely their camp cook, but he was later inducted under the name of Rapieryo.<br><br> |
Athmyr's work for the Blood Ravens repeatedly brought him into towns and villages, eventually reuniting him by accident with Tiknay. Athmyr gladly rejoined Tiknay's service, but greatly mourned that Liato was not there to join him. Tiknay attempted to soften this blow by returning to Athmyr the necklace that he wore when he was bought as a child. He has worn it ever since, and it has occasionally displayed various different magical powers.<br><br> | Athmyr's work for the Blood Ravens repeatedly brought him into towns and villages, eventually reuniting him by accident with Tiknay.

Despite the fact that he had no interest in hunting and scouting, he took to it remarkably fast, being a naturally quiet person. His interest in plants quickly translated into a skill in alchemy.

Athmyr's actual birth occurred during a war between the Barbarians and the Biata that was at its fiercest and most violent in what is present day Dyllaria. Both the Biata and the Barbarians had called great magical creatures to their sides as proxies, and battles grew so destructive as to level entire mountains in the northwest, creating the flat and fertile lands that exist today.<br><br> | Athmyr's actual birth occurred during a war between the Barbarians and the Biata that was at its fiercest and most violent in what is present day Dyllaria.

Au Mir was born in a small Biata village on the eastern end of this conflict, his mother a simple potter and his father a fletcher. The village was led by a wise elder of 900 years named Au Tzu who was gifted in many different exotic arts, including the study of Earth Magic. Au Tzu had been a close advisor to the generals leading the Biata armies, but when the Biata were pushed back to the eastern mountains, the generals abandoned Au Tzu and his village to retreat over the mountains. Au Tzu knew his entire village was doomed and his people would have nowhere to flee. Rather than accept death, however, he prepared a ritual whereby the children would be saved. They would be put in a magical stasis, their minds wiped of all memories of their previous life, in the hopes that they would be awakened in a more peaceful future time. Au Mir's mother kissed him goodbye and placed a family heirloom necklace around his neck. The necklace bore what looked like a tooth but was actually the claw of a baby gryphon. Au Mir then went to sleep with a handful of other children.<br><br> | Au Mir was born in a small Biata village on the eastern end of this conflict, his mother a simple potter and his father a fletcher.

These children slept for hundreds of years until discovered in their underground sanctuary by Drae. The children had vague memories of growing up in a village but could not identify its location or their parents. Not that it mattered to the Drae, who promptly put them in chains and sold them to nearby biata tribes. The Drae had slightly mispronounced Au Mir as "Aay-thmeer" which is what he came to be called.<br><br> | These children slept for hundreds of years until discovered in their underground sanctuary by Drae.

No memory can ever be completely wiped away, and somewhere deep down Athmyr remembers the damage that magic and magical creatures caused to his his childhood lands. Athmyr distrusts necromancy. Truth be told, Athmyr distrusts all magic, but is too pragmatic to conduct a vocal campaign against it. But when possible and legal he will act to restrict its use, prioritizing necromancy first, chaos magic in general second, celestial magic third, and lastly earth magic. | No memory can ever be completely wiped away, and somewhere deep down Athmyr remembers the damage that magic and magical creatures caused to his his childhood lands.
