The Lore of Shaman Ixar of the Brine

Ixar was not born a wizard.

A native of Calista’s Citadel, Ixar was a tenured professor of archaeology at the University of Shifting Sands. Outside of teaching, Ixar would study magical objects. On his way to the Quantum Shadow, a place he believed held the mysteries behind the Sacred Flames, Ixar found himself lost in the brush of the Thorn. For 60 days, Ixar was stuck in the mangled forest, having to fend for himself with only a staff. On the 60th day, Ixar found Bear, a monkey-familiar. Ixar couldn’t explain what happened when he found the creature, but one thing was certain, he had gained the ability to use magic. Postponing his quest, Ixar used his new abilities to get back to the Shifting Sands to build his relationship with Bear and uncover the reason behind his new talents.

Although there is nothing conclusive, Ixar believes his familiar was trained by Merlin, the legendary wizard of old, and the bond he has with Bear allows him to channel Merlin's magic.

It's been 20 years since meeting Bear and Ixar continues to teach at the Shifting Sands while using his new abilities to hunt and protect artifacts. His classes are always filled with students gleefully entertained with tales of his encounters with Lost Souls, Dark Arcanists, and Kobolds. Ixar has yet to crack the case of the Sacred Flames, but there's a rumor that he's quite close.
