Emrys

Emrys is one of the third rank of deities in Arcania known as the Ascendants.

History
Emrys was a young boy living in a village in Mercyr. As an orphan, his life was difficult until, while out in the forest, he came across a young woman being menaced by a group of goblins. The youth, with no thought for his own safety, charged to the woman's defence. To his astonishment, Emrys was able to drive off the goblins by casting fireballs at them, despite having received no magical training, becoming the first mortal to wield magic.

Even more astounding to the youth was the fact that the woman turned out to be Terrae who, immediately, raised the youth to the position of ascendent, making him the Lord of Magic on Arcania.

Background
