[h3]Background:[/h3]
[list]Backstory: As a young elgamann, Theodluin Torris was born into power and prestige.  His father had been amongst the horde that had first conquered Inbur and the young Theodluin lived a life of debauched luxury, supposedly assisting with the sale of produce from his father's estates while actually spending most of his time in the city 'for business' in taverns and brothels.

It was when returning later than intended from a business trip that Theodluin was caught in a major storm as night fell.  Alone, cold, isolated and lost he prayed for deliverance first to the elga gods, and then to the human God... 

While it isn't clear exactly what happened on that night 125 years ago, what is known is that the Theodluin who came out of the storm was a very different person, scorning his father's wealth and, rather scandalously, entering a human monastery... which got the young elgamann disowned.  Which he didn't seem to care about one way or another.

This was where Theodluin spent the next 50 years, studying and leading a simple monastic life, tending the monastery's gardens and animals.  With limited contact with his own people, Theodluin developed some unusual views for his own people and 75 years ago, he left the seclusion of the monastery and began to preach to whomever was willing to listen.

Theodluin's message was simple and radical.  The only way for the Empire to avoid the coming scourge of the Blight is the complete abolition of slavery and the establishment of a meritocratic system blind to species or ethnic origin.  This is, he declares, the will of God.  And there is only a certain amount of time to enact this will to stay the hand of God and avoid an apocalypse.

While Theodluin's views are definitely radical and most of the Reformist faction wouldn't agree with everything he has to say, Prince Voron went through a phase of listening to Theodluin quite closely and, while his policies are tempered with pragmatism, Theodluin became an advisor to the Prince, a position he was in when the civil war broke out.
