Merik hatched along many of his other brood mates into a hostile world full of danger and strife. The next meal was never promised and his tribe was always on the move. He learned quick, learned of the hunt, the jungle and swamp they called home, the many dangers that permeated their existence. Their world was harsh and the strong magic used by the other races forced them to constantly be on the move.

Merik soon found through his early years that there was so much more to look for and see. What little food he was able to gain from the outside world only seemed to further fuel his curiosity. He would steal or barter from any trader that happened through their territory, anything he could for a bit more food and a story or two. However soon his wish came true, his tribe was searching for the other tribes that splintered off them to grow stronger. 

To secure their place at the top and lead the tribes their tribe needed to be stronger and that would require magic. Now Merik was not the most skilled magic user but he still had the ability that was all the proof the chieftain needed. He gave Merik a task, go out into the world and learn the smooth skins big magic so that their tribe could survive and be stronger. Merik took little convincing to go; he didn't say good bye just did as he was told.

Merik only recently found his way to the city of Forsaken, helping to escort a caravan of traders. it was slow going but allowed him to get accustomed to some of the other races and the new environment he found himself in. however it did help knowing some of these people, after only being there a short time he received a piece of paper with writing on it. The traders he helped get to the city were kind enough to help him find his way to the tavern and room. Somehow, he felt they were glad to be rid of him.
