(+1) Corax was born in Menzoberranzan, a 4th generation slave. He has very faint memories of his mother and father. Shortly before his 1st birthday, his parents were killed in a slave raid by the Duergar, and Corax, a small child at the time, as well as 6 other children were taken by the gray dwarfs. Corax and the other children were taken to Gracklstugh, home of the gray dwarfs.There they were sold to other gray dwarfs. Corax and 3 children were purchased by an exceptionally cruel gray dwarf. Shortly after being sold, the evil gray dwarf and his henchmen, loaded up Corax, the children and other slaves of various ages and race, into a strong, windowless wagon. After days of travel, the gray dwarfs were ambushed by 2 Umber hulks. All the gray dwarfs were slain, as well as all the slaves but for Corax, and a male drow named Hauklir. In the confusion, Hauklir secured Corax and fled. It took Hauklir 11 days to finally reach the Svirfneblin city of Blingdenstone. As Corax grew, and learned he came to understand just who, and what he was a part of. Hauklir, was part of a group called the Mor Deythan (Shadow Masters). The group was part of a larger organization, The Lords Alliance. The Mor Deythan are responsible for hunting down and killing slave traders, and freeing slaves. On the day Corax was sold to the evil gray dwarf, Hauklir had been captured and was planning an escape when he noticed the small child the other children called Corax, was different. The first thing Hauklir noticed was Corax's eyes were pure black. he had never seen a human with eyes like that. The second thing was he couldn’t see Corax in complete darkness. Even though he was a Drow elf, no matter how hard he tried Corax was just...invisible. When there was some light in the wagon from the gray dwarfs’ torches, Hauklir knew Corax could see him, even though as a human, he should be completely blind. Hauklir knew he had to get the child back to the Mor Deythan. When Hauklir made it back to Blingdenstone, the small group of Mor Deythan accepted Corax like one of their own. The group of Mor Deythan were 8 strong. Every member did their part in the task of raising Corax. The leader of the group was a Deep Gnome named Grinthack Grimechewer, 2nd in command was Hauklir. There were 3 other deep gnomes, Bundre Dusthand, Brelkel Granitecatcher and Dreldenk Adamanttooth. There was a burly Mountain Dwarf named Ungrimm Grimmsonn, and a hulking half Orc called Thorash. The last member was a forest Gnome named Orlo Slyfox. As Corax grew, he was trained by every member of the group. Ungrimm and Thorash trained him in a wide variety of weapons and armour. Hauklir trained him in stealth movement, tracking, and survival, not just in the underdark, but up on the suface as well. He was taught the languages of the underdark by Orlo, as well as minor casting. Brelkel taught him the history of the Mor Deythan, and the differnt factions, especially the lords alliance who they served. But overall he was trained to track down slavers, kill them and free their captives. Corax was also taught his personal history. He learned he was born into slavery, and so were his parents and grandparents. He was taught to use that hate and fire when exacting revenge on slavers. Being human, he made many trips to the suface world with Ungrimm, and Thorash. On his 14th birthday Corax was made a full member of the Mor Deythan. He was given the sur name Sharrowkyn, it was a mix of deep gnome and drow meaning Child of Shadows. For the next 4 years Corax worked alongside his family tracking down slavers and freeing all the slaves they could. Corax was very good at dropping enemies with a bow before they ever knew what was happening. As Corax's reputation grew, so did the bounty the drow and gray dwarfs placed on his head. Corax suffered many injuries but was never detered from the oaths he took when he became a Mor Deythan. Shortly after Corax's 18th birthday, Hauklir and himself were tracking a notorious drow elf named Maleus. They knew he would be in Matol-Derith to buy slave children. They couldnt kill him in the city without facing chains and the bottom of the Darklake, so they waited for 2 days outside the gate he should of came out. When the drow never showed, Corax entered the city under the guise of a drow trader and inquired about the slaver. Corax learned the drow did not buy any slaves but took a side gate and left the city. Corax also discovered through his contacts that the drow elf was not in town to buy slave childern, but to recruit soldiers to fight the resistance in Sembia. And when the drow got some takers, he headed back Netheril. Corax and Hauklir brought the news back to the Mor Deythan. A few weeks went by and finally a meeting was called. Information was sent down and the group was to send a member to Sembia to join the resistance and help them combat the Netheril, and assist the resistance in any way it could, and if possible, end Maleus. As the only human, Corax was chosen to go. Two days later Corax and Ungrimm were headed to the surface where they would part ways and Corax would face new challenges that lay ahead of him.
