Backstory: Grix was born in a a large underground town of Vidreians called Trur'Hyrgrull, or City of the Black Skies. The City was deep and it was known for it's deep purple crystals that resonated to the singing of the birds that would frequent the willow trees within the lakes and swamps of the caves. The city was also rather secretive, even for his race. Here they rarely ventured to the surface, other than to scout and occasionally trade their wares with caravans. However here he learned much of politics, speaking, and history. He argued much in the city halls, speaking that they should seek out of their home toward a grander nature for his people, specifically among the other races. He felt that if they brought their ways of peace and kinship they could create a much more lasting peace on the surface. After many years (at least to lesser lived life) he decided to leave his village and seek out other people to learn other cultures and bring back to his people their ways and to bring his ways to others.


Family: Never knew much of his family, as most vidreians.
