The Exaltation
Brief History
Feyth (fay-th) is, or...was at least, a politician. He had gotten into politics in an attempt to help change things for the better in his hometown, the City of Salt-Founded Glory. However, he soon found that bureaucracy is plagued by many problems such as corruption, red-tape, inefficiency...and last but -definitely- not least, stifling boredom. After an attempt to liven up the town by bringing in a performing troupe was quashed thanks to there being "no room in the budget for such frivolity, and besides there's no point taking up the valuable time of the senate when there are far more important matters to discuss". Now, this made Feyth curious as to what exactly was more important than making the town so interesting. Apparently, it was vital that a decision be reached on whether they should hold the meeting to decide if the government buildings should be repainted this week or next week.
Bridges Burned
This was, sadly, the last straw. Feyth decided that the best way to effect change was to change things himself. First up, of course, was to fix this silly debate about repainting the buildings. Of course, being fed up with all the inefficiencies and red tape of the normal bureaucratic process, he sought the fastest end to this problem he could think of. Feyth decided the best way to end the stagnation of the bureaucracy would be to burn down all of the government buildings in town. Much to his surprise, this caused him to Exalt as a member of the Eclipse caste. It was rather fortuitous for him, however, as his newfound powers allowed him to convince the many eyewitnesses of a few important points:
- No, he had not just burned down any of those buildings. In fact, he had been nowhere near any of them at the time.
- It must have been a freak and oddly-specific lightning storm.
- While Feyth was leaving town, it was not because of any sort of guilt related to any sort of arson. It was simply because, being a government official, he was now out of a job thanks to the previously-established choosy lightning.
The Beginnings of a Circle
As he was leaving his hometown, Feyth was in awe of his newfound powers. After all, if he could convince a crowd of angry people that he had not just burned down half their town, what else could he do? After a few days of travel, he found inspiration in the city of Gem. Or, to be more specific, the dormant volcano that housed Gem.
Feyth made up his mind and entered town, learning a few things about the local fire elementals from the townspeople, and proceeded to track down these elementals in the hopes of talking them into stirring things up. Really, the volcano had been dormant for far too long and besides...it was their own fault for building a city in a volcano. Unfortunately, he wasn't as stealthy about his plans as he'd hoped to be, and he soon found himself accosted by a group of rightly concerned townspeople. Thankfully, though, rescue came in the form of an enormous lizard and his tamer, Arisa. Thankfully, Arisa was able to convince Rover not to devour him, and Feyth found himself with a new companion, and another reason to leave town.
