Darby

Hey there, I play Darby in Andrew's 13th Age game. My character is a Castle Coast sorcerer who came east in his youth during Rikard's campaign and fought the Lunars for a while before becoming disillusioned with the whole thing. He has a fascination with the God Learners and wanders the world searching for their lost knowledge. I've thought about changing him from a wizard to a wizard/fighter to better reflect the fact that he's a Man-of-All, but in the end I've never bothered. By 1635 he's probably middle aged, so likely couldn't be bothered to swing his mace when instead he could just sit on his aged warhorse and cast spells. On the topic of what he believes, it's not so much about the monomyth. For him, the Hero Wars prove that the God Learners were right that the cosmic order is innately unstable, and he thinks that given time, the GL's might have been able to use logic and enlightenment to right the cosmic ship. In 13A: Glorantha, chaos has finally begun to destroy everything. The setting feels like a genuine apocalypse. So he thinks it wrong that these petty gods like Orlanth or the Red Goddess should be squabbling and throwing armies and empires against one another. Their energies should have been 'redirected' to defeat the real enemy, chaos.
