History[edit]
Second son of King Uthor of the High Tower, Peremore was born with a withered arm and a crooked spine that kept him bedridden for much of his brief life.

When Peremore died, his elder brother King Urrigon honoured him by granting “Peremore’s pets” a broad tract of land beside the Honeywine. There the sages raised the Ravenry on the Isle of Ravens, tending a great weirwood and perfecting ravencraft so messages could fly across kingdoms. Over generations the fellowship grew into an order of “Grey Wizards,” lore-masters whose hosts and patrons prize their counsel and treasure their tales.
