Lord Kriv Turap

Lord Kriv Turap is commonly referred to as Lord Kriv and by close friends as Kriv. He is an extremely powerful half-elf mage with orange eyes like the sun. Though lightweight in stature & somewhat of a natural leader, he is quite stout in the realm of politics as the newcomer. He runs the town of Islamp within the City State of Grova that he built from its beginnings and has lead since. He was granted leadership due to his ponderous mannerisms and constant studying as he is one and possibly only person to solve the Hanoi Temple Problem of 64 Rings. His studies have taxed him however, as he can be spotted with a slow way to react to news and his stares sits between distant objects as he converses. He is in charge of running the following Grovan Outposts: Pyrgua, Dak, & Estra. He is a man that follows the saying of "Business first, and fun later." This is shown with the contract between Bruh Meng & Brah Meng, the prankster mountain dwarf twin brothers, when permitting the prank holidays within Islamp. His mentality leads him to expect people to do their duties and he views it as the norm to perform more than expected. He constructed Islamp, 8 years ago after the end of the Akoon Civil War. He is close friends to Joven Roaric, Patrick Bishop, and the Dragon King. He is determined towards using the powers of magic and science together to better his town and people in all aspects of their lives. He strongly disapproves of cowards and brown nosing. In case of emergency, he personally sends and retrieves all the civilians and orphans sent from Islamp to Grova. His relationship with the Baron of Grova is a relationship of necessity rather than friendship. Before creating Islamp, not much is known of Kriv Turap other than he was a powerful mage that travelled with his half-orc companion Joven. However, he does have rumors about him now. One such rumor, is that he possesses some forbidden lore of mechanization through runic magic, but this has not been confirmed nor denied. It does have basis for belief through Kriv's dedication to building and protecting Islamp through any and all knowledge available to him.

Upon arrival to Akoon, a group of adventurers were tasked with retrieving an amulet of Kriv's. This necklace has a clear white diamond that had swirling winds inside of it set on a gold chain. Recently, Syralth had mentioned that the number of children under his protection does not seem consistent and the number of guards under his command seems to be growing faster than there are boys of age to join. Besides this protective build up, Syralth also showed the adventurers that Kriv has been using the town signets to track them and note their proximity to dragons with magical signals.

After the adventurers left Islamp and Grova, Lord Kriv started leading a rebellion against the whole of Grova.
