Atury was a Draol mage who lived during the time of the Great Purge. He sought to escape the Purge by opening a Keldra Gateway, which erroneously transported himself, his throng of minions, a contingency of the Gruenish Army, which also had soldiers from the Aerylothian Army, to the world of Errod. He was one of the few remaining spellcasters left on Galwyndor at the time.

Biography

Atury Trumsole was born to parents Roris and Marna Trumsole. His father was a cordwain of the lower class, in Terga, a large city in the kingdom of Sel Sarini. Atury was born deaf, which would prove to be a significant barrier for him throughout much of his life, but most especially his early years. He had three older siblings, two brothers and a sister. His parents did the best they could to provide accommodations for him, and it was his mother and sister who worked out creative ways of communicating within the family (something akin to a mix of sign language and written pictographs). From an early age he became fascinated with the written word, though neither of his parents were literate, so he often imagined the meanings of words he saw. When he was old enough, he began helping his father in the shoemaking business. While Atury's sister was kind to him, his older brothers, Brion and Rivon, often teased and beat him.

Glyphmaster

Atury was originally a pupil of the Runesworn school of magic, as he was deaf, which made rune work more favorable. He was expelled, however, for creating his own runes which were not part of the traditional symbols. He made up new written language to accompany the glyphs, and used this language to encrypt all his notes. Since the language was known only to him, any reference to it refers to it as Aturian.

After expulsion, he was finally accepted into the Draol school by direct edict of the Head of the Order, the Archmage Orilac. Atury impressed Orilac because the Draol valued inquisitive students who pushed boundaries. Atury was ultimately called the Glyphmaster by the Draol for this reason, as he has not only mastered the traditional runes but the new ones he had created himself.

Notes

The Eari Stone that was wielded against Atury was the Meninar-stone.
