Parshatar (pronounced PAR-shah-tar) is an Ishtaran wizard who is currently attempting to remove the magic barrier around the world that protects against the sun’s harmful rays.
Description
Parshatar, an ifrit from Amar-An, Ishtar, originally made a name for himself as an adventurer of some repute. Those knowledgeable on the matter say Parshatar first witnessed the destructive power of the sun when his entire adventuring party, save for himself and his life-long friend Tirgin, died after venturing deep into the Sangora Desolation, into a part of the desert long ago cursed by devotees of Nurgal. There they watched their companions die from terrible causes - thirsts no water could sate, sunburns that cooked them alive, extremely fast-spreading skin growths, and so on. Something in Parshatar broke after this, and the former adventurer took a hard turn to evil.
According to Tirgin, Parshatar now spends his days studying obscure magical rituals while attempting to permanently remove the layer around the atmosphere that protects from the sun’s rays. It is uncertain how close he has come to this goal, but it is understood among scholars that this barrier at least in part consists of divine magic put in place by powerful deities.
Despite some shared interests, Parshatar is strongly opposed to followers of the demon lords Aldinach and Nurgal. He is said to view both as corruptions and impure forms of the sun’s power, as they have motives and edicts besides simply allowing the full power of the sun to reach the world. Parshatar remains vehemently opposed to Nurgal in particular, due to what the demon lord’s followers did to the former adventurer’s past acquaintances.
Current location
Parshatar dwells somewhere deep within the Sangora Desolation. Purportedly his friend Tirgin knows his location but will not divulge it to others.
