Lantry

Background
Lantry was born in Sunder in 347 TR, shortly after Sunder's declaration of independence from Stalwart, to a family of harbor hands. His mother disappeared during a voyage while his father lost his hand to an infection. Lantry claims to have no other surviving family - and even if he did, the School of Quill and Ink insists on severing all blood ties upon entry, rendering the topic irrelevant. Unlike most Sages, Lantry grew attached to his commoner name and thus ended up retaining it.

As a novice, Lantry spent his first ten years at the School taking care of and training messenger birds, writing extensively on the subject in the process. He looks forward to summoning his birds back when his adventures are over and possibly training another flock. His own training completed, Lantry ventured out into the wider world, which prepared him aptly for the fall of the Vellum Citadel.

Lantry is in awe of Kyros and remains fascinated by the mark that he left on the world of Terratus.

Spying for the Voices of Nerat
Upon probing further, Lantry confesses that he joined the School of Ink and Quill after being recruited to do so by an agent of the Voices of Nerat. He was increasingly ordered to advocate surrender to Kyros' advancing armies. This assignment had lasted for thirty years, demonstrating that the Voices of Nerat had been planning the war in the Tiers well in advance.

Researching the Archons
Lantry took interest in the Archon of the Spires owing to the latter's proclamation of two Edicts. He claims to always take an interest in the vessels of Kyros' most powerful magic. Given the option, he would very much like to also research and document the exploits of Sirin, the Archon of Song.
