Saros Tamarian

Saros is a Tiefling Sorcerer who claims to have a connection to Nethys, the neutral god of magic.

Saros is an extremely powerful spellcaster who calls himself a 'conduit' for Nethys, stating that it is Nethys' magic itself being cast through his hands.

Saros appeared seemingly out of nowhere around the year 105PoC, and was first spotted in an assassination attempt on Gaws Gathsah. In an unknown time before this, Saros built a small army of mind controlled followers of all races, and continues to build his forces and send them against any who follow the god Pravos.

Saros claims Pravos will soon issue judgement against all non-divine spellcasters, declare martial law and death sentences for all magi. In an effort to stop this genecide, Saros and his forces began marching upon townships and cities in the southern region of Iastycal, Phalaerialis.

Player experiences
Soon after Saros fled the city of Stoedadarsya, the Blades of Pravos posted a bounty for him. The bounty poster merely described Saros as "one-eared man in purple robes." and came with a reward of 1,500GP. The original party, consisting of John Stone, Kazooie Ban, and Ulrich Von Lichtenstein, formed a group to take Saros back for the reward. The party found many dead bounty hunters along the path to Saros, and did battle with his mind-controlled forces.

After burning and pillaging the farmtown of Voctas with his troops, Saros was captured by soldiers sent from the city of Qarrion. The party witnessed this arrest and followed the soldiers and prisoner back towards the city. During the first night on the trip back to Qarrion, Saros' Bugbears attacked the soldiers and freed him, the party was engaged by the Bugbears and began to flee into the woods. Saros summoned a flying bat and cast a light spell on it, then used it to track the party while the Bugbears chased them down. The party took down the Bugbears but were stopped by a mass hold person spell from the Sorcerer, he sensed John Stone's connection to the ley-lines and told the party to fight against the followers of Pravos and fight for their own gods. Kazooie Ban asked Saros to give them some form of proof that they killed him so that they might collect the bounty, the Tiefling opened the party's previously magically locked chest, and scrawled a magic symbol under the lid before saying "This will be all the proof you need along with gaining you favor among my followers.".
