¶ Bazvrah
Bazvrah is a deadly assassin, a fusion of Druid, Rogue, and Cleric, driven by a singular goal—revenge. His target is Darmuth, whom he believes responsible for putting his brother, Bazzert, into a three-year coma. However, the truth is more complex; Bazzert fell into his slumber after drawing from the Deck of Many Things. With his newfound castle, granted by the same deck, Bazvrah established The-Red-Keep, a ruthless assassin's training ground.
"My brother was always a powerful spellcaster. I have spent my time mastering the art of assassination and infiltration. My father constantly meditated with my brother in our family shrine. One day, a local drunk burned the shrine, destroying our sanctuary. That drunk was my first kill. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to perfect this newfound craft.
When my brother disappeared two years ago, I received a castle in the Jade Forest. I have since transformed it into a training ground for assassins, forging a collective force known as The Red Castle. We train the mind and body, preparing for the art of the kill.
I vow to kill whoever made my brother disappear."
¶ Training & Methodology
Upon hearing of his brother's coma, Bazvrah dedicated himself to the Circle of the Moon Druid path, perfecting Wild Shape for covert operations. His transformations allowed him to scout targets unnoticed, exploiting their weaknesses with precision. His killing ritual was simple yet effective—utilizing his brother’s enchanted artifact, The Sleep Crown, he would force his targets into slumber before silently dispatching them with a psyhic dagger to the skull. A dagger which can could spawn with his mind.
His career as a hired killer honed his instincts, enabling him to react swiftly to any interference with his objectives. Whether through brute force or careful subterfuge, he always found a method to complete the job, growing ever more confident in his craft.
¶ Journey to Revenge
At the height of The Red Keep’s power, Mortis Lux sought Bazvrah’s expertise for an assassination mission against Darmuth. He joined the party, traveling by boat to Wegate, with a stop in the Jade Forest to gather his resources. Along the way, he executed those who stood in his way, operating outside Mortis Lux’s reputation to ensure his personal vendetta remained unhindered.
This ruthless pursuit led to a confirmed hit list during his time with the party:
📜 The Hit List

¶ Legacy of Death
Bazvrah's psychic powers, evident since childhood, allowed him to rack up over ten confirmed kills, including his very first as a young boy. With each successful assassination, he took a trophy—something tangible to remind him of his skills, his past, and his lost innocence.

¶ The End of Bazvrah
Upon the discover of the Library-Dimension, Bazvrah made immidiate note of two things, the Assassins-Guild and the Tree of Knowledge. As travel through the dimension becomes increasingly difficult due to the long distances between areas and the parties fear of being lost out of time grew, Bazvrah made a devision to try to blend himeself into the Tree and attempt to travel long distance amongst its root system. Being a druid he knew the spell Tree Stride. Upon entering the Tree-of-Knowledge, Bazvrah accidently fused with the tree and was forced to become the Tree of Knowledge.
🌱 Final Fate: Over many years, the Tree consumed Bazvrah’s personality, erasing him from time—leaving behind only the knowledge he contributed.
Tree Stride (5th Level, 1 Action, Self, V/S, Concentration 1 Minute, Conjuration, No Attack/Save, Movement Effect)
You gain the ability to enter a tree and move from inside it to inside another tree of the same kind within 500 feet. Both trees must be living and at least the same size as you. You must use 5 feet of movement to enter a tree. You instantly know the location of all other trees of the same kind within 500 feet and, as part of the move used to enter the tree, can either pass into one of those trees or step out of the tree you're in. You appear in a spot of your choice within 5 feet of the destination tree, using another 5 feet of movement. If you have no movement left, you appear within 5 feet of the tree you entered.
