Sslandith- The Blessed Gecko
Creature Compendium · by Scribe Irpel Brpel
Sslandith Falendria - Born supposedly under a simple, quaint stone as a little, three-inch Gecko, or just lizard. Sslandith, when very young, fended and protected his family from A horde of ugly, horned lizards, attempting to devour him, and his friends. During this battle, a priest of Purity watched on as the small Gecko won his fight for freedom. Oddly, the priest earlier had foreseen an incredible wave of darkness coming upon the world, and a great many warriors of the light would be needed to stop this onslaught. The priest took Sslandith as his own, and treated him well, giving him sanctuary and care.
One day, the priest took the small gecko, places him upon the altar, and chanted an incredible spell, increasing Sslandith's size by nearly 100 fold! Not only did his size change physically, but also mentally, as the priest's knowledge, ability, and ideals. After this, the priest was able to explain things to the now large, inelegant gecko. Sslandith was chosen for the task, and the priest years and years to create a blessing that could enhance Sslandith so. A bit later, the priest let Sslandith go, and explore the world. Finding a guild became hard for him, for his nature could only be compared as closely to that of a slith. In other words, the priestly knowledge had to be converted to a warrior; However, obviously, Sslandith didn't find much trouble in that. He shunned the thieves whole heartedly, for his ideals to pick-pocketing were heavily negative.
After a while serving the guild, it was about time to visit his "father". Upon reaching the home of the priest, named Elendirz, was kneeling before none other than a dark-knight. In a few seconds, Sslandith had decapitated, and torn the dark-knight to shreds, just like he had done to the ugly lizards attacking his home. The situation seemed symbolic to the way the realms were being invaded by the evil. Sslandith saw great purpose in this, and encouragement of place. He felt this was right where he belonged.
Sslandith, warrior of Sylvantis, has vowed to repay the debt of being able to fight for a cause by sacrificing his life to Avatarship. Lover of the sun, and warm placed, loather of pointless death and dark-knights, goes by the name Falendria, which was the name of the priest whom brought the incredible blessing upon him.
