Role

Chapter 1

Deyvin was never meant to be a free man, or have the knowledge that anything
outside his initially small world existed. His father, Maeglin, was not a fan
of the matriarchy society of the drow. But make no mistake; he was just as
wicked as any other dark-elf. He just was one that spent most of his time in
his own hidden lab away from society, performing various magical experiments
of differing cruelty levels. And some of them required living subjects.

Maeglin had used his golems and his magical skill to kidnap living
individuals to experiment on. Of course, while Maeglin was mostly interested
in his studies and experiments, he had other appetites. And thus those
appetites sometimes bore offspring and who was Maeglin to waste good fresh
test subjects? Most of these ill-begotten individuals never survived long,
but a pair did: Deyvin and Saevel. These two proved to be more resilient than
most Maeglin had encountered and eventually, while still test subjects, they
were allowed some freedom in the lab as assistants.

And since birth they were prisoners of such a small terrifying world. But the
half-brothers had each other, so they relied on each other for emotional
support and survival. In time, the eldest of the pair, Saevel, convinced
their captor that he could be more use going out on errands. While that meant
leaving Deyvin alone for periods of the time, it gave Saevel a better
understanding of the outside world and an opportunity to start hatching a
plan to escape.

Over the years, Saevel gathered hidden supplies and contacts and even a
reputation of being an efficient killer for hire. And it was all so he could
find a way to rescue Deyvin. It was not a day that Deyvin will forget. After
over two decades of a harsh life, the lab was in flames, all the research
destroyed and Maeglin was left standing with nothing to show for all of his
cruelties. The pair spared him for reasons even Deyvin doesn't understand.
Instead, they ran as far away as possible and found some level of safe haven
in the city of Galadon.
