Idris Sunblaze hails from the sun-blessed isle of Rhadia where he served as a priest of Ferri Androthus in the Cathedral of the Stars. He is an unimportant scion of the Sunblaze dynasty which has ruled over Rhadia for centuries and in order to reduce the number of royal heirs running about he was promised to the Cathedral and thus removed from potential succession in a socially acceptable way. While other people might have become bitter at this, Idris harboured no designs on the throne and found the work of an acolyte spiritually fulfilling.
