Where is Zheynen from?

| In a distant plane there is a land largely left unknown to the gods,
shielded from prying eyes by its relative closeness to the magical plane. A
race not unlike dark-elves inhabits the world, who see themselves as the only
intelligent race. Though its not impossible that other intelligent races had
occurred there, they have just done a excellent job of removing any
trace of them.

| A world built upon artificers dreams, they have built and continue to
build wonders to rival even the greatest of godly minds. So close to
unfettered and raw power, they find many magical devices that are by many
means the tools of gods themselves. Planeshifting is normal, spells of great
defensive power are woven into nearly everything used and worn.

| They have only recently really begun to explore the worlds around
them, planeshifting is still a great journey into the unknown. But the
endless hunger for knew and potent knowledge drives them from their world and
out into the planes.
What is he like?

| He is a humorless creature, rare to smile, rarer to laugh at
something normal, though occasionally he will find humor in things that are
either unfunny or just awkward.. His race, not unlike the dark-elves of
Thera, are naturally cruel and malicious, Zheynen is no exception. He is
constantly calculating the uses of those he comes across, trying to decide if
it is worth leveraging his position and knowledge to gain their trust and
aid.

| Vicious when cornered, or forced into a situation. He holds
allegiance to few, but could prove a reliable ally in the right
circumstances.

| His speech is sometimes difficult to follow, both due to his wander
thoughts and due to his sometimes limited grasp for Theran centric words or
expressions.

What are some of his goals.

| Well it is obvious to him that his power here is quite limited, even
though he suspects those he will be able to conjure from the outer planes
will hold more power than he here. It is clear that if he can find a way to
penetrate the veil he could rebuild certain artifacts and likely take over
this world with minimal effort.

| For now he strives to explore Thera, and understand what the veil
ties to and understand its denizen and their respective places. Though it is
becoming clearer now that only a small subset of individuals seem to have the
care to know, and the power to use the knowledge he seeks.

| He strives to understand this phenomena of Immortals, as they are not
known creatures in his world. He suspects that they may hold the keys to how
to break or circumvent the Veil for a time. They may too hold interesting
knowledge that the mortals of Thera may lack.
