Character Profile: Algis Murtaugh

By Xanxa Symanah

Name: Algis Perovitch Murtaugh Origin: Malvanian/Virian Algis Murtaugh was a weak sickly child.   Aside from his illness, he suffered merciless bullying at school.   To escape the loneliness and misery, he began experimenting with trance states.   He spent so much time in the spirit realm of Fravash that he neglected his physical body.   His lively mind and playful nature found a home there.   He was misdiagnosed with autism.   When conventional therapies failed, he was sent to the Freedom House psychiatric facility, where he remained for many years.   He totally abandoned his physical body, allowing the nursing staff to take care of it, while he roamed Fravash.   He became bloated and overweight.   He remained at Freedom House until Sheraleen Conder rescued his physical body and helped guide his spirit back into it.

Cultural Information: Serd-Mages

By Xanxa Symanah
Image
  The serd-mages take their name from the Varagan street slang word sersedrei , meaning “rascal” or “rebel”, depending on context. The movement began as a counter-culture in Varah and Par-Varah communities, based on the principle that instruction in sorcery skills should be available to all those with crystal bonds or Aureant senses, regardless of their social status, racial origins or financial status. It is credited to have started in the holy city of Dardenay in Southern Varathusia, when priests and priestesses on outreach duty decided to start teaching basic sorcery skills to young disadvantaged adepts.   The movement grew and spread around many other cities on mainland Varathusia.
