That was quick! The character that first sprang to mind was either a young Roshad academic who'd taken to adventuring to feed his curiosity, of a grizzled, disgraced kestaphos who's taken to hunting the monsters that killed his family. Don't think either of them particularly step on anyone else's toes?

I'll add this to the OP in a sec, but here's what's going down at the start of the RP: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4713048

I think your concepts/character motivations can work with the plot. Your Roshad academic could be aware of the implications the sorcerer has on the setting, and your kestaphos has plenty of opportunity to slay monsters.
