Dylan Surin

246 4E
As a guardsman of The Kennian Empire in Pyregate, Dylan was transferred to the city of Sajax where he met and befriended Weston Fudmun. It was no secret that he hated the city of Sajax and felt great resentment towards the men who sent him there. He also strongly disliked House Redereth, the controlling house of Frostburn, because he felt they did not care about their people and let them suffer so that they could enjoy wealth and prosperity.

When Weston was discovered taking Soul Sugar, instead of imprisoning him like he should have done, he helped him flee the city, breaking his oath to the guard and incriminating himself in the eyes of the Empire.

He travelled with Weston for months down to the city of Brightkom. On the way, he taught Weston how to use various weapons and in return Weston taught him how to read and write. He also tried and initially failed to get Weston to stop using Soul Sugar.

Just before the turn of the year, the two arrived in Brightkom and started seeking work as mercenaries, as Weston had learned some basic combat, and showed particular aptitude with the crossbow. They worked for a few months doing basic tasks; beating people up, overseeing trade deals, etc.

They were eventually hired by a trader taking a huge amount of goods to Pyregate. Dylan was initially hesitant, knowing that he may be recognised in the city and captured to be eventually punished for his crimes against the Empire. However, he was convinced by Weston that it was worth the risk for the large amount of gold they'd earn, and decided to keep his head down and give it a go.

On their way to Pyregate, they met a gnomish sorcerer named Xandros Dathar. Xandros was heading to Pyregate to purchase a number of things before travelling north up to Sajax to hopefully join the mages in the Frostburn Citadel. He told Dylan and Weston stories about the War of the Gods and the various artefacts that were scattered around the continent, as well as telling them about dragons.
