Baalasar Mykermith, known to most as Ba’al, was born beneath the crimson skies of the western frontier, where wind-carved cliffs met ancient ruins humming with forgotten magic. From a young age, he felt the pulse of arcane power thrumming in his blood—an inheritance of his draconic lineage. While other dragonborn trained their bodies for war, Ba’al sharpened his mind, obsessively studying fragments of lost spells etched into broken tablets and weathered scrolls. The West taught him resilience, but it was magic that gave his life purpose.

Before stepping into the wider world, Ba’al chose exile over comfort. He withdrew into solitude among desolate highlands, dedicating years to rigorous study and meditation. He believed the world beyond his homeland was merciless and foolish, and he refused to face it unprepared. In isolation, he mastered control over his inner fire and expanded his arcane repertoire, pushing his limits through relentless discipline. The silence hardened him, stripping away doubt and leaving only ambition. When he finally descended from seclusion, he did so not as a wandering novice, but as a dragonborn forged by knowledge and self-denial.

Ba’al holds little respect for humans. To him, they are fleeting creatures who boast of superiority despite their fragile lifespans and shallow understanding of true power. Their kingdoms rise and fall within what he considers a mere blink. In contrast, he reveres elves, whom he sees as beings favored by magic itself—long-lived, refined, and deeply attuned to the arcane. Though he rarely voices his prejudice openly, it colors his decisions and alliances. Now he journeys across distant lands not for glory or gold, but in pursuit of rare and forbidden spells, determined to carve a legacy that will outlive even the longest elven memory.
